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 119), a further option will be available (MN1 to MN32, LPCM, or XP+ (a super-high quality HDD recording mode that features a transfer rate of around 15 Mbps) depending on what you set). When recording to DVD, MN32 is the highest recording quality available. If you select XP+, the recording mode will automatically revert to MN32.
