The following situations may affect recording times:
The recording times are estimates only and may vary because of bit-
rate compression. Exact recording times also depend upon the
complexity of the original material.
When recording with poor broadcast reception or signal interference,
available recording time may be shorter then indicated in the previous
chart.
When recording still pictures or audio tracks only, available recording
time may be longer then indicated in the previous chart.
The displayed times, time used and time remaining, may fail to add up
to the total time available on the disc. This imbalance is because of
possible hidden titles within recorded segments.
Heavily edited discs may cause decreased recording time availability.
Levels 1 through 8 are unavailable when recording from the DV IN/OUT
port. The recording level automatically defaults to Level 9 when using
this port.
When recording at the highest quality (Level 32), the audio records as
uncompressed Linear PCM unless recording from the DV IN/OUT port.
All other audio recording levels are pre-set to 2-channel Dolby Digital.
4.8.2 Video Mode Recording
When recording in Video format, select a quality setting, V1 (high quality) or
V2 (standard).
