Recording Mode
Select one of four recording modes by pressing the
REC MODE button repeatedly while the unit is in Stop
mode for the desired recording time and picture quality.
In general, picture quality improves as the recording
time decreases.
In FR Mode, picture quality is adjusted automatically so
that all images for the scheduled time can be recorded
onto the free disc space.
Unrecordable pictures
Pictures with copy protection cannot be recorded on
this DVD Recorder.
When the DVD Recorder receives a copy guard signal
while recording, recording stops and the following
message appears on the screen.
Concerning Copy Control Signals
Broadcasts that contain copy control signals may have
one of the following three signal types, COPY-Free,
Copy-Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record a
copy-once type program, use DVD-RW with CPRM in
VR Mode and DVD-RAM.
✻
Once “Copy Once” has been recorded, recording
cannot be done anymore.
