You can store only one hour of recordings on a single disc at the highest quality (DVD standard) and about 6 hours recordings at the lowest quality (VHS standard.) The hour mode indicates the number of hours that will fit on a single disc. The higher the recording mode, the greater space disc required. What is the difference between DVD+R/and DVD+RW?

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals. - This recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible. - You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to this recordert - You cannot control this recorder from external equipment connected via the DV IN jack. chapter markers Programs are recorded as a single title, it may consist of one chapter or a few chapters within a title, depending on the recording settings.
