Notes
• See page 50 for details on "Video" and "Audio".
• If you record with setting the bit rate to about 4.0 Mbps or below, the recorded pictures may not be played properly if change
the playback speed. There will be noise, and the picture quality is lower than other rate settings.
Suggestions for the picture quality setting
• For normal recording or when you cannot decide which mode to choose.
Select "SP."
• When you need a longer recording time and video quality is not important
Select "LP." Inferior to "SP" in picture quality, but it can record longer.
• To record a high quality picture
Select "MN (Manual)" to set a desired bit rate. The higher the bit rate, better the picture quality is, but shorter the
recording length becomes. We recommend that you set about 6.0 Mbps to 6.8 Mbps.
• To fill the disc
Select "AT (Auto)." A bit rate is calculated automatically according to the remaining volume of the disc. Some
contents may not be recorded on the disc even if you select this function. This is not the function to make full use of
the remaining space capacity.
