Note:

The Wide setting will be kept even after the DVD Video Camera is turned off.

The VDR-M50PP does not have the Wide setting.

Even if you use the provided application software (MyDVD) and dub wide movies on DVD-RAM disc to DVD-R disc, the screen image will not be wider. DVD-R disc does not support the Wide setting and it is displayed lengthwise when you playback this disc.

Before recording movies to the DVD-R disc, set the Wide setting beforehand to “4:3”.

The Wide 16:9 setting can be used when recording movies on DVD-RAM disc: It is not compatible with still recording, recording of external input or recording on DVD-R disc.

Images recorded with “Wide 16:9” (aspect ratio 16:9) specified cannot be restored to “Wide 4:3” setting (aspect ratio 4:3).

The characters of dates and titles will be longer in the vertical direction on a wide-screen TV and on the LCD monitor of DVD Video Camera.

Even if you set the Wide setting at “16:9”, screen image will appear at “4:3” when you press the MENU button and display the menu screen.

When you view the image recorded with “Wide 16:9” specified on the television or PC monitor with black bands at the top and bottom of the picture, flicker may occur between the black bands and the picture.

The Wide 16:9 setting is not compatible with ID-1/ID-2*.
