“HDD Rec. Picture Size”/“DVD Rec. Picture Size”:

Sets the picture size of the programme to be recorded.

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

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

•Auto (HDD only): Automatically selects the actual picture size.

“DVD Rec. Picture Size” works with DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs (Video mode) when the recording mode is set to HQ, HSP, SP, LSP, or ESP. For all other recording modes, the screen size is fixed at “4 : 3.”

For DVD-Rs/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.

bNotes

•For HDD/DVD-RWs (VR mode), if “TV Type” of “Video Output” is set to “16:9” in the “Video” setup (page 140), the picture is recorded as 16:9 regardless of the setting for “HDD Rec. Picture Size” or “DVD Rec. Picture Size.”

•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 140).

•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 or digital TV pictures and does not work with RGB signals.

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 146). When recording to the HDD, a DVD-R (VR mode) or a DVD-RW (VR mode), you can insert and erase chapter marks manually (page 105).

bNote

When dubbing (page 109), the chapter marks in the dubbing source are not retained in the dubbed title.
