Setting the picture quality/ recording time
DVD (VR) DVD (Video) DVD+R DVD+RW DVD-RAM HDD

� SLP (Super Long Play) � Lower quality than EP, but gives about eight hours of recording time on a DVD disc. � SEP (Super Extended Play) � Lowest video quality but gives about ten hours of recording time on a DVD disc. � MN1 to MN32 / LPCM1 � Manual / Linear PCM (available only when manual recording is on) The setting is indicated in the front panel display, and shown on-screen together with the recording time for a blank recordable disc. If a recordable disc is loaded, the approximate remaining recording time for that disc is also shown. (Note that if the On Screen Display setting (see On Screen Display on page 118) is Off then this information is not displayed.)

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 116), a further option will be available (MN1 to MN32 or LPCM, depending on what you set). 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.
