Recording modes and approximate recording times

Depending on the content being recorded, the recording time may become shorter than indicated.
∫ DR mode
Recording Mode [HDD]
(320 GB)
DR (HD quality) 42 hours
DR (SD quality) 80 hours

≥Recording time of DR mode may vary depending on bit rate of broadcasting:

≥High Definition (HD) quality: estimated bit rate is 15 Mbps
≥Standard Definition (SD) quality: estimated bit rate is 8 Mbps

≥Regarding recording time remaining:

Remaining time in the DR mode is calculated with a bit rate of approx. 15 Mbps. But the bit rate differs depending on the
broadcast, so the displayed remaining time might be different from the actual remaining time.

≥Regarding recording time remaining:

This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video
