Recording Recording a TV program (Continued) Selecting the recording mode Before recording, you can select the recording mode. During stop mode, press REC MODE button. By pressing the button repeatedly, you can select one from 5 settings of "AV record quality" appearing in the front panel display. Notes • During recording, you cannot change the recording parameters, such as modes, channels, etc. • The number of titles cannot exceed 99 for any disc. • During normal recording, you can set the programmed recording using the REC MENU. • You cannot start recording immediately before a programmed recording starts. • For recorded sound, see page 69. • During monaural sound recording, the same sound is recorded on both the left and right channels. • When "DVD compatible mode" is set to "Main" or "SAP", the unit records the same sounds on both the left and right channels when receiving monaural sound. When receiving the multi-channel sound, the selected sound, Main or SAP, is recorded on both the left and right channels. • Depending on the disc contents, pressing REC button may take a longer time to start recording. • When a starting time of a programmed recording comes, a recording in execution is stopped and the programmed recording starts. If you do not want to stop the recording, cancel the timer program before it starts. • Even if you set "Aspect ratio(Video mode)" ( page 33) to "16:9", images are recorded in 4:3 aspect ratio when using a DVDR or DVD-RW disc with "Rate" set to "EP" (1.4 Mbps). • Be careful of a programmed recording across the change-over of Daylight-saving time ( page 27). 36
