Adjusting the recording picture
quality and size
You can adjust the recording picture quality and
picture size.
1
Before recording starts, press TOOLS and
select “Rec Settings.” Then press ENTER.
2
Select the item you want to adjust, and
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”
(page 45).
“Line Rec. Picture Size”: Sets the picture size
of the Line input to be recorded.
• 4:3 (default): Sets the picture size to 4:3.
• 16:9: Sets the picture size to 16:9 (wide
mode).
This function works with DVD-Rs and DVD-
RWs (Video mode) when the recording mode
is set to HQ, HSP, or SP. 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.”
“Rec NR” (noise reduction): Reduces noise
contained in the video signal.
“Rec Video Equalizer”: Adjusts the picture in
greater detail.

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 82).
• Remnants of images may appear on your screen when
using “Rec NR.”
