Recording
The timer recording time may differ from the set time depending
on disc status and overall timer recording status (for example,
recording times overlapping, or when the previous recording ends
within 3 minutes before the start time of the next recording.)
■
When you are recording in EP mode on a DVD-RW(V mode)/-R
disc, it may not record for the full 6 or 8 hours because the unit
uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) ENCODING system.
For example, if you record a programme with a lot of action, it
uses a higher bit rate which in turn consumes more disc memory.
