There should be an option somewhere to set recording length, something
like
XP SP LP
or
1h 2h 3h 4h

Does the controller have a button marked 'recording mode' or something
like that?

hm, I just downloaded your manual and it has dual layer discs in
there... but anyway, it mentions HQ SP LP EP SLP and just fit (a
variable quality recording)

The option seems to be in your set-up menu, under the 'recording'
option, you will see 'mode' and then you can choose how long you wish
to record for. Be aware quality will vary on longer recordings.

Check out page 47, or 50, in your manual to verify what I said. I am
not too sure qhich it is as the manual is a bit confusing.

good luck
