Picture
Hybrid VBR Resolution
Switch between automatic and fixed hybrid VBR resolution when
recording.
[Automatic] [Fixed]
Note
Automatic: The unit automatically switches compression
rates during recording. The unit reduces block
noise, which occurs during MPEG compression,
by selecting the optimum rate.
Fixed: The compression rate is fixed during recording.
This ensures the compression rate is not
reduced.
Still Mode
Select the type of picture shown when you pause play.
[Automatic] [Field] [Frame]
Note
Field: Less blurred field stills are shown. Select if
jittering occurs when "Automatic" is selected.
Frame: Sharper frame stills are shown. Select if small
text or fine patterns cannot be seen clearly
when "Automatic" is selected.
Seamless Play
Turn seamless play on or off on discs with play lists.
[On] [Off]
Note
On: The scenes in play lists created with this unit are
played seamlessly. This may cause shifting of
the points where scenes change. Some play
lists cannot be played seamlessly.
Off: The points where scenes in play lists are played
accurately, but this may cause the picture to
freeze for a moment when scenes change.
