Recording quality

Your DTH 8000 can record several hours of TV programmes or video sequences from a
connected device.This capacity depends on the discs and the quality adjustment selected in the
Recording Options menu.

Note: all times are approximative. Access to the adjustment
menu is impossible if recording is underway.

Depending on the adjustment selected, the recording time of
a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc is as follows:

*1 : Best - 1 hour.
*2 : High - 2 hours.
*3 : Good - 3 hours.
*4 : Normal - 4 hours.
*5 : Basic - 6 hours.
*6 : Low - 8 hours.

SmartRecord™

This function allows you to avoid manipulation errors when you wish to record a programme on
a disc that is almost full. By activating the SmartRecord™ function your DTH 8000 will adapt
the recording quality by positioning it automatically to one of the 6 settings in order to permit
entire recording of the desired programme.

VPS/PDC

Triggers all your programming at the actual broadcast times (if the channel broadcasts VPS/PDC
signals).
