“PCM” if the other equipment doesn’t have decoders. Incorrect 
settings can cause noise to be output which can be harmful to 
your ears and speakers, and audio will not be recorded properly 
to digital recording equipment.

block noise, which occurs during MPEG 
compression, by selecting the optimum rate. 

The resolution is fixed to ensure the resolution rate 
is not reduced.

Still pictures are less blurred. Select if jittering 
occurs when “Automatic” is selected.

Sharper frame stills are obtained. Select if small text 
or fine patterns cannot be seen clearly when 
“Automatic” is selected.

The scenes in play lists created with this unit are
