Setting the picture quality/recording
time
Before starting a recording, you will usually want to set
the picture quality/recording time. There are six standard
settings available, which allow you to choose a balance
between picture quality and recording time.
When Manual Recording is set to On (see
Manual
Recording
on page 157), a further option will be available
(
MN1
to
MN32
,
LPCM
, or
XP+
(a super-high quality HDD
recording mode that features a transfer rate of around 15
Mbps) depending on what you set).
When recording to DVD,
MN32
is the highest recording
quality available. If you select
XP+
, the recording mode
will automatically revert to
MN32
.
When recording to DVD+R/+RW,
SLP
is the longest
recording time available. If you select
SEP
or
MN1
to
MN3
, the recording mode will automatically revert to
SLP
.
