• Recording time of DR mode may vary depending on the bit rate of broadcasting:
• High Definition (HD) quality: estimated bit rate is 8 Mbps
• Standard Definition (SD) quality: estimated bit rate is 4 Mbps
• Regarding recording time remaining:
Remaining time in the DR mode is calculated with a bit rate of 8 Mbps. But the bit rate differs
depending on the broadcast, so the displayed remaining time might be different from the actual
remaining time.
