VCR Record System – Your video recorder uses triple colour standards, PAL,

colour system automatically, however if you experience problems you may need
to do it manually.
DV Record Audio – You need to set this if you have a camcorder using
32kHz/12-bit sound connected to the front panel DV IN jack.
Some digital camcorders have two stereo tracks for audio. One is recorded at
the time of shooting; the other is for overdubbing after shooting.
On the Audio 1 setting, the sound that was recorded while shooting is used.
On the Audio 2 setting, the overdubbed sound is used.
Auto Chapter – When DVD recording, chapter markers are added automatical-
ly in every specified interval (5 or 10 min.).
If you select None, switch off automatic chapter marking altogether with the No
Separation setting.
