bNotes

If one programme contains two picture sizes, the selected size is recorded. However, if the 16:9 signal cannot be recorded as 16:9, it is recorded as 4:3.

When playing a 16:9 size picture recorded as 4:3, the image is fixed to 4:3 Letter Box regardless of the setting in “TV Type” of “Video” setup (page 73).

Remnants of images may appear on your screen when using “Rec NR.”

“Rec Video Equalizer” does not affect the input of the DV IN jack.

Recording Timer

Creating chapters in a title

The recorder can automatically divide a recording (a title) into chapters by inserting chapter marks at approximately 6 minute intervals during recording. To disable this function, set “Auto Chapter” in the “Recording” setup to “Off” (page 77). When recording to a DVD-R (VR mode) or DVD-RW (VR mode), you can insert and erase chapter marks manually (page 58).
