Auto Chapter (Video)

• Default setting:

10 minutes

When recording in Video mode, a new chapter is started
every 10 minutes on the default setting. You can change
this interval to

15 minutes, or switch off automatic

chapter marking altogether with the

No Separation

setting.

Frame Accurate

• Default setting:

Off

When Frame Accurate setting is

Off, exact frame

accuracy is traded for high-speed copying when
recording a Copy List. Switch Frame Accurate

On to

preserve the accuracy of the Copy List. However, copying
some edited Video mode titles will be done in real time.

Important

• When you change this setting the Copy List is erased.

Make sure it is set how you want it before you start
putting together a Copy List.

• The Frame Accurate setting has no effect on the

actual video content stored on the HDD.

DVD-RW Auto Init.

• Default setting:

VR Mode

When you load a new, blank DVD-RW disc the recorder
automatically initializes it for recording. You can set it to
initialize the disc for

VR mode or Video mode recording.

Playback settings

TV Screen Size

• Default setting:

4:3 (Letter Box)

If you have a widescreen TV, select the

16:9 setting—

widescreen DVD software is then shown using the full
screen area. When playing software recorded in
conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will
determine how the material is presented—see the
manual that came with your TV for details on what
options are available.

If you have a conventional TV, choose either

4:3 (Letter

Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter Box mode,
widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top
and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off
widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even
though the picture looks larger on the screen, you’re
actually seeing less of the movie). See Screen sizes and
disc formats on page 107 for more information.

Still Picture

• Default setting:

Auto

The recorder uses one of two processes when displaying
a still frame from a DVD disc. The default

Auto setting

automatically chooses the best setting each time.

•

Field – produces a stable, generally shake-free
image.

•

Frame – produces a sharper image, but more prone
to shake than field stills.
