Hello all, I did a search in the forum but couldn't come up with anything about these specific specs and info about this recoder. Thanks in advance to anyone who can share...

1) With Philips recorders, as I see from the manuals, you can record over a +RW, then go back any number of seconds/minutes and start recording again, pretty much like a VCR. The manual I downloaded from the Sony Web site is not very clear on the matter: can this Sony model do this?
2) Philips manuals give a lot of bitrate and resolution specs for each compression quality but I couldn't find anything for Sony models. Anyone knows what resolution and bitrate are associated to each recording mode?
3) Does this Sony model implement TBC or, if not, can it correctly synch audio and video from an analogue source? I would get this unit basically for converting VHS to DVD...

Thanks again in advance...
