f: Only the wide-screen aspect ratio information added on the color signal of an S-video signal is recorded/added. (There are two types of wide-screen aspect ratio information. One is inserted in the retrace interval of a video signal and the other is added to the color signal of an S-video signal.)
⋅: No wide-screen aspect ratio information is recorded/ added.
1)When a video signal containing wide-screen aspect ratio information is input
2)When a tape containing wide-screen aspect ratio information is played back
Notes
•The unit does not convert the aspect ratio of the video signal. The unit simply records/adds the wide-screen aspect ratio information.
•If you use a video signal containing the information described above and a monitor compatible with that wide-screen signal, the video signal is displayed in the wide-screen mode automatically. To see whether or not the monitor is compatible with the wide-screen aspect ratio information contained in the video signal, refer to the instruction manual of the monitor.
