XP (highest Quality)-1 hour recording time, SP-2 hours recording time, LP-4 hours recording time, and EP-6/8 hours recording time.
• Convenient Editing
Using the menu system you can edit video content. You can perform basic (Title List) and advanced editing (Play List) on DVD-RAM and DVD-RW discs.

• Parental Control
Allows you to lock DVD discs to prevent children from viewing unsuitable content. Parental control allows you to block the DVD from viewing, based on an easy-to-use numerical system.
Overall Thoughts:
The Samsung DVD-R120 menu system is pretty much intuitive, requiring only a light perusing of the manual. Recording quality was very good especially on the highest setting but LP which provides 4 hours of recording time is good too. The quality of LP is a bit better than VHS quality, and would probably be the setting most used by the user.
all in all the Samsung DVD-R120 is a feature rich TV recording platform that is also affordable. The unit is available for around 179.00$ US.

-One touch record
