Notes
• You can change the combination of picture and sound
quality settings also by displaying the Quick Menu on a
LIBRARY MENU or during stop mode, then selecting “AV
Record Quality”. Either of the above methods updates the
setting of this recorder.
• If you set “SP” or “LP”, you cannot select “L-PCM”.
• Depending on the sound quality settings, the upper limit for
the picture quality setting differs.
• You can adjust the manual rate for picture quality by
0.2 Mbps from 2.0 to 9.2. (You cannot set the rate from 1.4
to 2.0.)
Picture Record Mode
DVD-RAM

DVD-R
Adjusts problems with the brightness of video signals of
TV broadcasts or other external input.
(Only use this setting when you cannot adjust the
brightness satisfactorily with the Custom Picture Setting in
the Picture/Audio Settings (
Page 125) of this
recorder.)
Important:
• This setting changes the video signal to record and the
recorded signal is not returned to the original state even
when this setting is changed after recording. When
duplicating from VHS tape, if you can check the video
recording state beforehand, we recommend first playing
back for a while and checking the overall brightness
tendency, then setting an appropriate mode.
Standard:
The brightness of signals received with this recorder
and external input signals is adjusted automatically.
This is normally the setting to use.
Mode 1:
This setting is used to record the signals darker when
the screen is too bright.
Mode 2, 3, 4:
As the number rises, the signals are recorded brighter.
Use these modes to adjust the brightness.
