Setting	Options	Explanation
HDD Recording	Video Mode Off	Recordings made to the HDD are made in VR mode.
Format		Use this setting if you don’t need to transfer the

recording later to a DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R/+RW.

Video Mode On • Recordings made to the HDD are compatible with Video mode recordings. This setting is convenient if you want to transfer the recording to a DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R/+RW as high-speed copy can be used.

•When Video Mode On is used, you must select the audio channel you want to record when recording a broadcast with a SAP channel. On the Video Mode Off setting, both channels will be recorded and you can switch between them on playback. See also Dual Mono Recording on page 107.

•When the recording mode is set to XP+, you cannot change HDD Recording Format.

TV Screen Size	4:3 (Letter Box)	Select if you have a standard 4:3 TV and prefer the
		letter box format presentation for widescreen
		material.
	4:3 (Pan & Scan)	Select if you have a standard 4:3 TV and prefer the
		pan and scan presentation for widescreen material.
	16:9 •	Select if you have a widescreen 16:9 TV. Your TV
		settings determine how 4:3 material will look.

Selecting 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan) does not guarantee that all video material will be presented in that format as some discs override this setting.

Still Picture	Field	Produces a stable, generally shake-free image.
	Frame	Produces sharp image, but may be prone to shake.
	Auto •	Generates a generally less sharp but more stable still
		image.
Seamless Playback	On	Playback is smooth, but with a trade-off against the
		accuracy of the edit points.
	Off •	You may notice momentary interruption at edited
		points during playback of a VR mode Play List.

This setting applies to HDD, DVD-R/-RW (VR) and DVD-RAM playback.
