Recording Mode 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 modes for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows: Recording mode XP SP LP EP FR60-FR360 FR420 FR480 Recording amount (approx.) 10 Mbps 5 Mbps 2 Mbps 1.6 Mbps The amount varies depending on the selected time. Maximum recording time (approx.) 1 hour 2 hours 4 hours 6 hours 1 - 6 hours 7 hours 8 hours Recording Features (DVD Deck) RECORDING EN 37 Free Rate Function To record the entire program, the unit automatically set the appropriate recording mode depending on the combination of the total time of the program to be recorded and either the remaining disc space or the specified recording time (from 60 minutes to 480 minutes). 8 To record the entire program by specifying the desired recording time Select "FR60-FR360", "FR420" or "FR480" in a recording mode selection procedure.
