• If "Aspect for Recording" in the Setup menu is set to
"Automatic" (The default setting is "Automatic" Ô 38),
the programme will be recorded in the original aspect
used when recording started (including when
recording started at a commercial, etc.). If recorded
with a different aspect, select the correct aspect
("16:9" or "4:3").
However, in the following cases, programme will be
recorded in 4:3.
• Programme recorded using "EP" or "FR (recordings
5 hours or longer)" recording modes will be recorded
in 4:3 aspect.
It is not possible to record digital broadcasts that allow "One time only recording" onto DVD-R, DVD-R DL,
DVD-RW, +R, +R DL, +RW or 8 cm DVD-RAM discs. Use a CPRM (Ô 50) compatible DVD-RAM.

The disc must be finalised after recording (Ô 36).
It is necessary to finalise DVD-R, etc. on this unit after recording titles to them. You can then play them as a
commercially sold DVD-Video. However, the discs become play-only and you can no longer record or copy.
You can record and copy again if you format DVD-RW.

If the disc failed to play on other equipment, we recommend you create top menu (Ô 36).
-R DL +R DL
DVD-R DL and +R DL discs have two layers of recording surface on one side.
It is not possible to record continuously from the first layer to the second layer. Recording stops when
space on the first layer becomes full. You must close the first layer to start recording on the second layer (Ô 36,
"Close First Layer"). Closing makes the first layer unavailable for recording (editing is still available). You cannot
cancel closing. Make certain before proceeding.
