If your TV is compatible with progressive-scan component video, set this Progressive for the highest quality picture. If your TV is not compatible with progressive-scan video, leave it set to Interlace.

See also Progressive scan video in the glossary on page 112.

Important

•If you switch to Progressive when using a TV that is not compatible with progressive-scan video, you will not be able to see anything displayed on your TV. If

this happens, press and hold PAUSE on the front panel, then press HDD/DVD. This will set the recorder’s video output back to Interlace.

If the external source is standard stereo, leave set to Stereo. If each channel carries a separate soundtrack, change to Dual Mono.

When the external audio is from the DV input, an audio subcode channel within the DV audio tells the recorder whether the audio is stereo or dual mono. This has priority over the setting you make here.

When recording a dual mono source from an external input in Video mode or VR mode set to FINE / MN 32, you can choose to record either the L (left), or the R (right) audio channel.

Note

•If you’re recording in VR mode (except when set to FINE / MN 32), both channels will be recorded and you can switch them as you like on playback.
