Page 8 to 10 57 − 40 General Issues Displays The display is dim. "12:00A" is flashing on the unit's display. The recording time display, the copying process display, and the displayed recording times of MP3s are different from the actual time. Compared to the actual recorded time, the elapsed time displayed is less.  Change "Front Display" in the Setup menu.  Set the clock.  Times shown may disagree with actual times.  [-R] [-R\DL] [+R] [+R]DL] The remaining capacity does not increase even if recordings are deleted.  Available recording space on a DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) or +RW disc increases when you delete the last recording (space may increase slightly when you delete other recordings).  If you record or edit about 200 times or more, the remaining capacity of DVD-R, DVD-R DL, +R, or +R DL is reduced and then recording or editing may be disabled (for the second layer on DVD-R DL and +R DL, this happens after about 60 times).  The time during fast forward and rewind, or the process during copy may not be displayed accurately.  The displayed recording/play time is converted from the number of frames at 29.97 frames (equal to 0.999 seconds) to one second. There will be a slight difference between the time displayed and the actual elapsed time (e.g., actual one-hour elapsed time may display as approximately 59 minutes 56 seconds). This does not affect the recording. Page 63 57 − − − − − − 82 RQT9056
