Switching between TV and DVD
When the recorder is stopped or recording you can choose whether to have the audio/ video from the built-in TV tuner (or external input) play on your TV (�DVD mode�), or watch the channel that the TV is currently set to (�TV mode�). During playback or when a menu is being displayed on-screen, the sound and video is always routed to your TV and is unaffected by the TV/DVD mode setting. Note that the recorder must be connected to your TV using a SCART cable to be able to use this feature.

Before starting a recording, you will usually want to set the picture quality/recording time. 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 113), 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. When recording to DVD+R/+RW, SLP is the longest recording time available. If you select SEP or MN1 to MN3, the recording mode will automatically revert to SLP.
REC MODE
� When watching a recording made from an external input with Bilingual recording selected (see External Audio on page 111), you can switch the audio channel between left (L), right (R) or both (L+R).
L L+R R
Note � When recording to the HDD with HDD Recording Format set to Video Mode On, to DVD-R/-RW (Video mode), to DVD+R/ +RW, or on the LPCM setting, only one channel of a bilingual broadcast is recorded. In this case, decide which language you want to record before recording by setting the Bilingual Recording setting (see Bilingual Recording on page 111).
