On the default setting, if a timer program (standard, easy or ShowView programming system) is set but there isn’t enough space on the disc at the recording quality set, the recording will start, but it will be cut off when the disc is full. Set Optimized Rec to On to have the recorder automatically adjust the recording quality to fit the available disc space.

Note

You may notice a reduction in picture quality if the recorder has to fit a lot of extra material into the remaining time available on the disc.

If, even on recording level MN 1, there is insufficient space available on the disc, the recording is made at level MN 1 but recording will stop once the disc is full.

Optimized Recording only compensates for the first (earliest starting) timer program if more than one has been set.

Optimized recording can’t be used together with VPS/PDC.

In the Disc Navigator, each title is shown with a still frame picture to remind you what it is. This setting lets you decide the default still frame. The default setting of 0 seconds takes the first frame of the title, but you can also set it to 30 seconds or 3 minutes into the title (if the title is shorter than the setting, then the first frame is used).

When recording in Video mode, a new chapter is started every 10 minutes on the default setting. You can change this interval to 15 minutes, or switch off automatic chapter marking altogether with the No Separation setting.

DVD-RW Auto Init.

• Default setting: VR Mode

When you load a new, blank DVD-RW disc the recorder automatically initializes it for recording. You can set it to initialize the disc for VR mode or Video mode recording.

If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9 setting— widescreen DVD software is then shown using the full screen area. When playing software recorded in conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will determine how the material is presented—see the manual that came with your TV for details on what options are available.
