“DVD Rec. Picture Size”:
Sets the picture size of the program 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-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.

Notes
• 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 74).
• 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 at approximately 6 minute
intervals during recording. To disable this
function, set “Auto Chapter” in the
“Recording” setup to “Off” (page 78).
When recording to a DVD-R (VR mode) or
DVD-RW (VR mode), you can insert and
erase chapter marks manually (page 62).
