Timer Recording

select “Rec Settings,” and press ENTER.

press ENTER.
The adjustment display appears.
Example: Rec NR
“Rec Mode”: Selects the recording mode for
the desired recording time and picture quality.
For more information, see “Recording mode”
on page 36.
“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).
“DVD Rec. Picture Size” works with DVD-
Rs and DVD-RWs (Video mode) when the
recording mode is set to HQ, HSP, SP, or LSP.
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.”

contained in the video signal.

b 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.
• 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.
The recorder can automatically divide a recording
(a title) into chapters by inserting chapter marks
during recording. To disable this function, set
“Auto Chapter” in “Features” setup to “Off”
(page 76).
When recording on a DVD-RW (VR mode)
The recorder detects changes in the picture and
sound and automatically inserts chapter marks.
You can also insert and erase chapter marks
manually (page 61).
When recording on other recordable discs
Chapter marks are inserted at approximately
6-minute intervals during recording.
