Guide to Recordable Length
of Time
The recording mode is a setting value for the
image quality. This Recorder provides five
types of recording modes, consisting of four
basic modes of EP, LP, SP and XP, and the
MN mode, in which finer settings can be
selected.
The higher the image quality, the shorter the
recording time becomes. This is because
higher quality images require larger amounts
of data for recording.
Recordable Time by Recording
NOTE
• The disc remaining time display serves as
a rough estimation for gauging remaining
capacity. A disc may have open space
remaining when recording has been
completed. (There are cases in which the
value displayed for "REMAIN" during
recording and that displayed when
recording is stopped will not be the same.)

the disc, so that the title can be recorded
onto one disc.
