This function works with DVD-Rs and DVD- RWs (Video mode) when the recording mode is set to HQ, HSP, or SP. For all other recording modes, the screen size is fixed at “4:3.”

For DVD-RWs (VR mode), the actual picture size is recorded regardless of the setting. For example, if a 16:9 size picture is received, the disc records the picture as 16:9 even if “DVD Rec. Picture Size” is set to “4:3.”

For DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, the screen size is fixed at “4:3.”

“Rec NR” (noise reduction): Reduces noise contained in the video signal.

“Rec Video Equalizer”: Adjusts the picture in greater detail.

Notes

•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 87).

•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 and does not work with RGB signals (RDR-GX700 only).

Creating chapters in a title

The recorder will automatically divide a recording (a title) into chapters by inserting chapter marks at 6 or 15-minute intervals during recording. Select the interval, “6Min” (default) or “15Min” in “Auto Chapter” of Features Setup (page 91).

zHint

You can create chapters manually when playing DVD- RWs (VR mode). For details, see page 66.
