The sound quality is better when using "EP-Extended Play (6H)" than when using "EP-Extended Play (8H)".
¢3 You cannot record directly to these discs with this unit. The table shows the recording time when copying.
¢4 When recording to the HDD in FR mode (recordings 5 hours or longer) or EP mode, you cannot perform high-speed copy to +R, +R DL or
+RW discs.

(6H) mode if playback may be on other equipment.

VHS

∫ Recording mode
SP: You can record the length shown on the tape.
EP: 3 times the length of SP mode.
VP: 5 times the length of SP mode.
≥To have a longer recording capacity, select "EP" or "VP".
≥If the image quality is important to you or if you wish to store the
tape for a long period, select "SP".
≥The unit can play tapes recorded in LP mode on other equipment.
VP mode:
≥A tape recorded in VP mode by the unit cannot be played
back by other VCRs. It is recommended to distinguish it
from other tapes by writing "VP" on the tape label, etc.
≥It takes more time for automatic tracking to work when playing
tapes recorded with VP mode, and it may not work at all with
some tapes. Do tracking manually if this is the case (l 49)
Note
≥Even if the video cassette you use is labeled "S-VHS", it is not
possible to record in the S-VHS system with the unit. It
records in the normal VHS system.
≥You cannot change channels while recording. You can change
channels while in pause mode.
≥When recording is paused for 5 or more minutes, the unit returns
to stop mode.
