1
It is not possible to record or play continuously from one side of a
double sided disc to the other.
2
When “Recording time in EP mode” has been set to “EP (6Hours)”
in the Setup menu ( 72).
The sound quality is better when using “EP (6Hours)” than when
using “EP (8Hours)”.
3
You cannot record directly to DVD-R DL and +R DL discs with this
unit. The table shows the recording time when copying.
[+R]DL] You cannot copy in “EP” or “FR (recordings 5 hours or
longer)” mode.
4
When recording to the HDD in “EP” or “FR (recordings 5 hours or
longer)” mode, you cannot perform high-speed copy to +R, +R DL
or +RW discs.
Notes
 This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies
the amount of data recorded to suit the picture quality, so actual
recording times and remaining recording times shown by the unit
will be different. ([-R]DL] [+R]DL] The difference will be especially
noticeable.)
Use a disc enough remaining blank space.
 When recording to DVD-RAM using EP (8Hours) mode, play may not
be possible on DVD players, even if they are compatible with DVD-
RAM. In this case use EP (6Hours) mode.
Tips
 Maximum number of titles to a disc
[HDD] 499 titles on HDD
[RAM] [-R] [-RW‹V›] 99 titles on a disc
[+R] [+RW] 49 titles on a disc
 FR (Flexible recording mode)
Using “Flexible Recording” is convenient in these kinds of situations:
[RAM] [-R] [-RW‹V›] [+R] [+RW]
− When the amount of free space on the disc makes selecting an
appropriate recording mode diffi cult
− When you want to record a long programme with the best picture
quality possible
[HDD]
− When you want to record a title to HDD so that it can then be
copied to fi t one 4.7 GB disc perfectly
You do not need to edit the recorded title, or change the recording
mode when copying, to fi t the disc space
e.g., Recording a 90-minute programme to 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc:
− If you select XP mode, the programme will not fi t on one disc.
A second disc is necessary for
30 minutes of the programme.
