actual picture size.
“DVD Rec. Picture Size” works with DVD-
RWs/DVD-Rs (Video mode) when the

ESP. For all other recording modes, the screen
size is fixed at “4:3.”
For DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs (VR mode), the

“4:3.”

b 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 117).
• 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 at
approximately 6 minute intervals during
recording. To disable this function, set “Auto
Chapter” in the “Recording” setup to “Off”
(page 124).
When recording to the HDD, a DVD-R (VR
mode) or a DVD-RW (VR mode), you can insert
and erase chapter marks manually (page 95).
b Note
When dubbing (page 99), the chapter marks in the
dubbing source are not retained in the dubbed title.
