RECORDING (cont.)
Recording Features
Recording Speed
MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture
quality, the “bps” unit is used to represent how much data can
be recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the
picture quality becomes but more capacity is required for the
recording. Select XP or SP for programs where quick movement
occurs, such as sports programs, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc.
with relatively less movement.
The recording speeds for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:
Instant Timer Recording (ITR)
This easy method lets you record for from 30 minutes to 6 hours
(selectable in 30-min. increments), and shuts the unit off after
recording is finished.
1 Start recording.
Press 7 on the unit.
2 Engage the ITR mode.
Press 7 again. On the front display panel, “0:30”
appears.
3 Set the recording duration.
If you want to record for more than 30 minutes, press 7
to extend the time. Each press extends recording time by
30 minutes.
NOTES:
● You can only perform ITR using the 7 button on the unit’s
front panel.
● It is possible to set the recording duration up to 6 hours, but it
is impossible to set exceeding the disc remaining time.
Watch Another Program While
Recording on the Unit
While recording is going on, you can watch another program on
the TV by using the TV’s tuner. It is required that the Remote is
set to be able to operate the TV in advance. (
