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 81).
• Remnants of images may appear on your screen when 
using “Rec NR.”
• “Rec Video Equalizer” 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 85).
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 68).

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