select your favorite scenes from originals, and
compile them into a Play List.

actually copy the original titles. These
operations merely write the information
“make this original title a title in the play

REC. FUNCTION
AUTO CHAPTER
• This sets the interval of automatic chapter setting during recording.
• Chapter marks set on a DVD-RW/R in Video mode cannot be combined by editing, so
select an appropriate interval.
EXACT RECORDING
• This function works when timer recording (VIDEO Plus+/Timer Programme) onto DVDRW/R. If disc capacity runs low, and the programme cannot be recorded to the end,
this function will automatically change the recording mode so the programme will fit.
(The recording mode set in above situation will have lower picture quality than the
originally set recording mode.)
• If there is very little disc capacity left on the disc, the programme may not fit even if
Exact Recording is set.
• When recording in EP or MN1 mode, there is no lower recording mode, so Exact
Recording will not work.

REC. AUDIO FORMAT
• PCM: If you record by setting the recording mode to “FINE” or “MN32”, you can record
audio as PCM (uncompressed) audio which can be played back with 2ch audio
equipment.
* This will not work when recording with the recording mode set to anything other than
“FINE” or “MN32”.
* Recording is done with a recording mode whose image quality is slightly lower than
FINE mode recorded with the “MPEG” setting.
• When making a PCM recording of bilingual sound, only the audio selected in “VIDEO
MODE AUDIO” is recorded.
• MPEG: Records audio as MPEG audio.
EXTERNAL AUDIO
• This selects audio to be input from an external device.
* Be sure to always select “BILINGUAL” when recording bilingual sound. If you select
“STEREO” when recording, the audio for the left channel (“L CH”) and right channel
(“R CH”) will be heard together during playback.
* When recording bilingual sound, you can switch between the left channel (“L CH”)
and right channel (“R CH”) during playback in VR mode. In Video mode, only the
audio set in “VIDEO MODE AUDIO” is recorded.
VIDEO MODE AUDIO
• This selects whether to record the left channel (“L CH”) or right channel (“R CH”) when
recording (or dubbing) bilingual sound to DVD-RW/R in Video mode.
* This does not apply when recording from the DV IN terminal.
MANUAL REC. MODE
• If you set by selecting one of the 32 picture quality levels for “MN”, recording will be
done at that picture quality when “MN” is selected using REC MODE on the remote
control. For details, see page 40.
