Timer Recording
“HDD Rec. Picture Size”/“DVD Rec.
Picture Size”:
Sets the picture size of the programme to
be recorded.
Auto (HDD only) (“HDD Rec. Picture
Size” default setting): Automatically
selects the actual picture size.
4 : 3: Sets the picture size to 4:3.
• 16 : 9 (“DVD Rec. Picture Size”
default setting): Sets the picture size to
16:9 (wide mode).
“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.”

noise 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.
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 94).
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.
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 101).
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 74).
b Note
When dubbing (page 78), the chapter marks in the
dubbing source are not retained in the dubbed title.
