"HDD Rec. Picture Size"/"DVD Rec. Picture
Size": Sets the picture size of the program to
be recorded.
• 4:3 (default): Sets the picture size to 4:3.
• 16:9: Sets the picture size to 16:9 (wide
mode).
• Auto (HDD only): Automatically selects the
actual picture size.
"DVD Rec. Picture Size" works with DVD-
Rs and DVD-RWs (Video mode) when the
recording mode is set to HQ, HSP, or SP. For
all other recording modes, the screen size is
fixed at "4:3."
For DVD-RWs (VR mode), the actual picture
size is recorded regardless of the setting. For
example, if a 16:9 size picture is received, the
disc records the picture as 16:9 even if "Rec
Screen Size" is set to "4:3."
For DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, the screen size is
fixed at "4:3."

contained in the video signal.

Notes

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 87).
• Remnants of images may appear on your screen when
