Overview Features
Notes on Recording
• The recording times shown are not exact
because the DVB-T HDD/DVD Recorder uses
variable bit-rate video compression. This means
that the exact recording time will depend on
the material being recorded.
• When recording a TV broadcast, if the
reception is poor or the picture contains
interference, the recording times may be
shorter.
About DVD Recording
• Discs recorded at high speeds (equal to or
greater than 2X) may not be recognized.
• If you record still pictures or audio only, the
recording time may be longer.
• The displayed times for recording and time
remaining may not always add up to the exact
length of the disc.
• The available recording time may decrease if
you heavily edit a disc.
• When using a DVD+R disc, you can keep
recording until the disc is full, or until you
finalise the disc. Before you start a recording
session, check the amount of recording time
left on the disc.
Recording TV Audio Channels
The DVB-T HDD/DVD Recorder can record channel
audio. For analogue TV broadcasts, this usually
means mono or stereo, but digital TV programs are
broadcasted in multi-lingual audio channel. You can
record multiple channel audio.

• You cannot record copy-protected video using
this DVB-T HDD/DVD Recorder. Copy-protected
video includes DVD-Video discs and some

message will be displayed on-screen.
