Refer to the instructions of the connected equipment. • When you record an external source onto a DVD-R/RW disc or the contents which will be copied to a DVD-R/RW disc later on, set the connected equipment to output sound you want to record (if selectable such as multiplex broadcasting), as the recorder records sounds of an external source in stereo onto a DVD-R/RW disc, ignoring the setting of "DVD compatible mode" ( page 162). • DVD-R/RW discs cannot record contents with copy restriction signal embedded (copy-protected or copy once contents), DVD-RAM discs can record copy once contents. • Some satellite programs via a connected tuner may contain both 4:3 pictures and 16:9 pictures. DVD-R/RW discs cannot record such contents under the restriction of the DVD-Video standard. To record these programs, use the HDD or DVD-RAM discs. • Depending on the source recording device used and how that device is set up, the video and sound quality of the recording may vary slightly from the video and sound quality of the source device. 44

Preparation
When you record on a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc, load it into the recorder.
Load a disc which has sufficient remaining space to record the program.
Make sure the loaded disc is not write-protected.
Notes
If a source of high quality sound track such as DVD audio is recorded with this recorder, the sound quality becomes regular
audio CD quality. Refer to the instructions of the connected equipment.
When you record an external source onto a DVD-R/RW disc or the contents which will be copied to a DVD-R/RW disc later
on, set the connected equipment to output sound you want to record (if selectable such as multiplex broadcasting), as the
recorder records sounds of an external source in stereo onto a DVD-R/RW disc, ignoring the setting of
DVD compatible
mode
(
page 162).
DVD-R/RW discs cannot record contents with copy restriction signal embedded (copy-protected or copy once contents),
DVD-RAM discs can record copy once contents.
Some satellite programs via a connected tuner may contain both 4:3 pictures and 16:9 pictures. DVD-R/RW discs cannot
record such contents under the restriction of the DVD-Video standard. To record these programs, use the HDD or DVD-RAM
discs.
Depending on the source recording device used and how that device is set up, the video and sound quality of the recording
may vary slightly from the video and sound quality of the source device.
