Setting the Recording Mode (HDD/DVD)
NOTE
• Higher recording mode means higher picture quality and lower recording mode means longer recording time.
• Picture quality of the recorded content changes distinctively between the recording modes above and below the bold lines
in the above chart. The position of the bold lines differs among HDD, DVD-RW (VR Mode) and DVD-RW (Video Mode).
•
With MN22-32, VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording has a big impression, so the actual recording time will be longer.

• The HDD recording time is in approximate figures. DVD recording time is in approximate figures when 4.7GB discs are used.
• The figures below are not guaranteed in every instance. Actual maximum recordable time may be shorter than indicated below,
depending on image quality and other factors. The HDD Remaining Time displayed on the TV screen is an estimate of the
shortest remaining time for recording.
Important!
When you want to play back a DVD-R (video format), that was recorded on this recorder, with a compatible DVD player:
• Playback of a disc, recorded with REC MODE set as MANUAL using this Recorder, using a compatible DVD player may not
function correctly (only a specific mode can play back).
