Creating Chapters In A Title - Sony RDR-HX900 Operating Instructions Manual

"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.

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

Creating chapters in a title

6 or 15 minute intervals during recording. Select
the interval, "6Min" (default) or "15Min" in
"Auto Chapter" of Features Setup (page 91).
z Hint
You can create chapters manually when playing DVD-
RWs (VR mode). For details, see page 68.
