Function Setting

AUTO CHAPTER

• This sets the interval of automatic chapter setting during recording.
• Chapter marks set on a DVD in Video mode cannot be combined by editing, so select
an appropriate interval.

EXACT RECORDING

• This function works when timer recording (Easy Recording Guide/VCR Plus+/Timer
Program) onto DVD-RW/R. If disc capacity runs low, and the program cannot be
recorded to the end, this function will automatically change the recording mode so the
program will fit.
(The recording mode set in above situation will have lower picture quality than the
originally set recording mode.)
• If there is very little disc capacity left on the disc, the program may not fit even if Exact
Recording is set.
• When recording in EP mode, there is no lower recording mode, so Exact Recording will
not work.

REC. AUDIO FORMAT

•PCM: If you record by setting the recording mode to “FINE” or “MN32”, you can record
audio as PCM (uncompressed) audio which can be played back with 2ch audio
equipment.
* This will not work when recording with the recording mode set to anything other than
“FINE” or “MN32”.
* Recording is done with a recording mode whose image quality is slightly lower than
FINE mode recorded with the “DD 2CH” setting.
•DD 2CH: Records audio as Dolby Digital 2ch audio.

EXTERNAL AUDIO

• This selects audio to be input from an external equipment.
STEREO: Recording standard stereo sound.
DUAL MONO: Recording the sound that each channel carries as a separate sound.

DUAL MONO REC. SET

• This lets you select whether to record the left or right audio channel when recording an
external source onto DVD-RW/R in Video mode.

MANUAL REC. MODE

• If you set by selecting one of the 32 picture quality levels for “MN”, recording will be
done at that picture quality when “MN” is selected using REC MODE on the remote
control. For details, see page 36.

SAP SETTING

• If you set this to “ON” while receiving a SAP (Separate Audio Program) broadcast, you
can listen to and record the SAP audio. For details on ON/OFF setting, the audio you
can listen to, and the audio you can record, see “About SAP” on page 77.
