“DVD Line Rec. Picture Size”: Sets the
picture size of the programme to be recorded
on the DVD.
• 4:3: Sets the picture size to 4:3.
• 16:9 (default): Sets the picture size to 16:9

(wide mode).

“DVD Line 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
Line 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.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to adjust any other items.

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 and does not work with RGB signals.

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 99).

When recording on the HDD or 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 76).

When recording on other recordable discs

Chapter marks are inserted at approximately 6-
minute intervals during recording.

Note

When dubbing (page 79), the chapter marks in the
dubbing source are not retained in the dubbed title.
