• This setting changes the video signal to record and the
recorded signal is not returned to the original state even
when this setting is changed after recording. When
duplicating from a VHS tape, if you can check the video
recording state beforehand, we recommend first playing
back for a while and checking the overall brightness
tendency, then setting an appropriate mode.

This is normally the setting to use.

This selection is important for contents when recorded on
this recorder, if they will be copied to DVD-R/RW.
Off:
For recording of contents which will not be copied to a
DVD-R/RW disc.
Both the main and SAP sounds are recorded.
When recording directly on a DVD-R/RW disc, this is
ineffective. The recorder will automatically regard this
as "Main," and record sound of the main channel only
in stereo. Select "Main" or "SAP" for DVD-R/RW
recording.
Main:
Records sound of the main channel only in stereo.
SAP:
Records sound of the SAP channel only in stereo.
Notes
• When you select the manual rate of the picture quality
between 3.0 and 3.8 and set this mode to "Main" or "SAP",
the picture quality may become lower than when you set
this mode to "Off".
• You can change the setting from Quick Menu.
• It is no use to make this selection when dubbing. Select
when recording.
