On the default setting, if a timer program (Standard or
VIDEO Plus+ programming system) is set but there isn’t
enough space on the disc at the recording quality set, the
recording will start, but it will be cut off when the disc is
full.
Set Optimized Rec to On to have the recorder
automatically adjust the recording quality to fit the
available disc space.
Note
• The quality of recordings may be reduced if a longer
recording time is used.
• If, even on recording level SEP , there is insufficient
space available on the disc, the recording is made on
SEP but recording will stop once the disc is full.
• Optimized Recording only compensates for the first
(earliest starting) timer program if more than one has
been set.
• Unlike other recordings made using this recorder,
the title name of an optimized recording does not
contain the recording mode.
Auto Chapter
• Default setting: On
On the default setting, a new chapter is started
approximately every 15 minutes.
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
Parental Lock
Some DVD-Video discs feature a Parental Lock level. If
the recorder is set to a lower level than the disc, it will
require you to enter a password before the disc will play.
This gives you some control about what your children
watch on your DVD recorder.
Some discs also support the Country/Area code feature.
The recorder does not play certain scenes on these discs
depending on the Country/Area code you set.
Before you can set the Parental Lock level or the Country/
Area code you must set a password. As the password
owner you can change the Parental Lock level or Country/
Area code whenever you like. You can also change the
password.
Note
• Not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for
your children use the Parental Lock feature. These
discs will always play without requiring the password
first.
• If you forget the password, you can reset the recorder
to its factory settings (see Resetting the recorder on
page 90), then set a new password.
