Recording to DVD-R DL/DVD+R DL
discs
Recording to DVD-R DL/DVD+R DL discs is
generally the same as recording to regular
single-layer discs; however, please note the
following points:
• When the recorder switches from the
first layer to the second during recording
a DVD-R DL (Video mode) disc, a new
title is automatically started on the new
layer.
•Up to 99 titles can be recorded on a
DVD-R DL (Video mode) disc. If the 99th
title is being recorded when the layer is
switched, recording will stop.
•Up to 49 titles can be recorded on a
DVD+R DL disc.
•You cannot play, record additional
material to, edit or finalize a DVD-R DL or
DVD+R DL disc that has been recorded
on but not yet finalized on another DVD
recorder.
About HDD recording
Recording to the hard disk drive (HDD) is
very flexible; you have the full choice of
recording quality options, including manual
mode, and of course you can record, erase
and re-record as many times as you like.
The capacity of the hard disk drive means
that you can store many hours of video on it,
even using the higher quality recording
modes.
Important
• The maximum number of titles/chapters
per title that can be recorded on the
HDD is 999 and 99 respectively. No more
recording is possible on the HDD after
the maximum number of titles has been
reached.
• The maximum continuous recording
time for one title is 12 hours.
HDD Video mode compatibility
When recording to the HDD you can choose
to record in one of two formats. Set the
format from the HDD Recording Format
item in the Initial Setup menu (see
page 118).
When set to Video Mode On, high-speed
copying from HDD to DVD-R/-RW (Video
mode) or DVD+R/+RW is possible. When
recording a broadcast with a Secondary
Audio Programme (SAP) channel, set which
channel you want to record from the Initial
Setup menu (see Dual Mono Recording on
page 114).
When HDD Recording Format is set to Video
Mode Off, high-speed copying from HDD to
DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R/+RW
isn’t possible. However, both the main and
SAP channels are recorded and you can
switch the audio on playback.
Recorded audio
In all modes except the LPCM mode, sound
is recorded in two channels in the Dolby
Digital format. (The sound can be recorded
in the Dolby Digital 5.1-channel format only
when video with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel
audio is copied from an HDD camcorder.)
When set to LPCM, sound is recorded in
high quality, uncompressed Linear PCM
format.
If the broadcast audio has a SAP channel
and you are recording to Video mode DVD-R/
-RW, DVD+R/+RW, or to the HDD with the
HDD Recording Format set to Video Mode
On, or on the LPCM setting, use the AUDIO
button to select the Mono, Stereo or SAP
audio channel to record before recording
starts. In other cases, if SAP is selected then
both the main and SAP audio channels will
be recorded and you can switch on pla
yback.
