“Line Rec. Picture Size”: Sets the picture size of the Line input to be recorded.

•4:3 (default): Sets the picture size to 4:3.

•16:9: Sets the picture size to 16:9 (wide mode).

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.

Press M/m to select the item you want to adjust, then press ENTER.

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 82).

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