On the default setting, if a timer program (standard, easy
or VCR Plus+ programming system) is set but there isn't
enough space on the disc at the recording quality set, the
recording will start, but it will be cut off when the disc is
full. Set Optimized Rec to On to have the recorder
automatically adjust the recording quality to fit the
available disc space.
Note
• You may notice a reduction in picture quality if the
recorder has to fit a lot of extra material into the
remaining time available on the disc.
• If, even on recording level MN 1, there is insufficient
space available on the disc, the recording is made at
level MN 1 but recording will stop once the disc is
full.
• Optimized Recording only compensates for the first
(earliest starting) timer program if more than one has
been set.

In the Disc Navigator, each title is shown with a still
frame picture to remind you what it is. This setting lets
you decide the default still frame. The default setting of 0
seconds takes the first frame of the title, but you can also
set it to 30 seconds or 3 minutes into the title (if the title
is shorter than the setting, then the first frame is used).
