Item			Description
INPUT SELECT	This parameter is used to select the audio and video input signals.
	LINE	:	The composite video signal from the VIDEO LINE IN terminal and the analog audio signals
			from the AUDIO IN terminals are to be used.
	Y/C	:	The YC separate signal from the Y/C IN terminal and the analog audio signals from the
			AUDIO IN terminals are to be used.
	DV	:	The audio and video signals from the DV IN/OUT terminal are to be used.

Video Encoding
Item	Description
TOTAL CONTENTS TIME	If you already know the duration of the video to be recorded, this parameter can be set to the
	corresponding time to allow your BD-X200 to select the optimum encoding bit rate. (Make a setting
	in hours and minutes.)
	● If the recording time is set using this parameter, ENCODE QUALITY will be set automatically,
	and this setting may not be modified manually.
	● If this function is not to be used, set it to NO USE.
	When this setting is made, ENCODE QUALITY will be returned to its previous setting.
ENCODE QUALITY (Mbps)	This parameter can be set when TOTAL CONTENTS TIME has been set to NO USE.
	Specifically, it allows direct setting of the encoding bit rate (i.e., the amount of data per second).
	Large values increase the quality of the video; however, this also increases the overall data size.
