5.3 Setting the Recording Parameters
5.3 Setting the Recording Parameters
You can set the recording parameters manually to suit your specifi c needs. Click the Setup action icon in the
VideoCorder’s pre-recording screen.
Rename Allows you to change the fi lename before the recording begins.
Auto Stop Rec On, Off. If set to On, the AV 500 will stop recording after the duration set in the next line. For example, you want
to record a television show for two hours but do not want to stay around for the two hours to manually stop the
recording. You would set this parameter to On and the next parameter to 2 hours. If set to Off, the recording will
continue until you click on the stop button or until the entire hard drive fi lls up.
Duration This is the duration of time your manual recording will last if Auto Stop Rec above is set to On.
Pre-record This is a safety margin added to the beginning of a scheduled recording which was set via the My Yahoo!
®
TV
scheduler of your personal Yahoo!
®
calendar. It affects ONLY these recordings. This is just in case the clocks
between your AV 500 and the broadcast station are different or if the broadcast station starts earlier than expected.
Post-record This is a safety margin added to the end of a scheduled recording which was set via the My Yahoo!
®
TV scheduler
of your personal calendar. It affects ONLY these recordings. This is just in case the clocks between your AV 500 and
the broadcast station are different or if the broadcast station runs overtime.
Source Composite, S-Video, Auto. You can choose which video input you want the AV 500 to use. Normally, with a good
video signal, you can set it to Auto, and the AV 500 will scan the (optional) TV docking pod’s two inputs to see which
one is receiving video (AV In or S-Video).
Format Auto, 4:3, 5:3, 16:9, 2.35. This is the aspect ratio of the screen that the AV 500 will record. You can set this manually,
but in most cases you can just leave it on Auto.
Resolution Optimal, VGA . Use this to set the resolution of the recorded image. You can leave this on Optimal. Optimal (512
x 384) will give the smoothest image quality, with the smallest fi le size. VGA (640 x 480) will give sharper images,
which are less smooth during fast moving scenes. However, the fi le size is larger.
Bitrate 500 kb/s, 1000 kb/s, 1500kb/s, 2000 kb/s, 2500kb/s . Use this to set the encoding quality (similar to the idea of
JPEG image quality settings). The higher the encoding rate, the higher the image quality but also more hard drive
space will be used. Lower bit rates will use less hard drive space.
Sampling 32kHz, 48kHz . The sound sampling rate. The higher value gives a higher quality sound but will take up more space
on the hard drive.

Brightness Use this to increase or decrease the recorded image brightness
Contrast Use this to increase or decrease the recorded image contrast
Saturation Use this to de-emphasize or saturate the colors in the recorded image
Hue Use this to change the color spectrum in the recorded image
Reset Change the above settings to the AV 500 default settings
• Once you have fi nished changing the parameters, click Stop/escape button to return to the pre-record screen.
• Concerning the video standard, the AV 500 will automatically recognize whether the incoming video signal is
NTSC (American), SECAM, or PAL (European). There is no need to set anything. You will see the signal type,
as well as the selected aspect ratio on the top left of the pre-recording screen.
• Click the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to adjust the sound input level. Too far to the right will often give an overdriven
distorted quality. Too far to the left may make for a very soft sound. Try a few recordings to get a sense of what
is the best sound level. Do not let the headphone volume fool you. That can be adjusted independently with
the UP/DOWN buttons.
• If you would like to make a recording in another folder instead of the default “Video” folder, go to the desired
folder via the main Video icon, then click on the Videocorder action icon.
5.4 Where is the Recording Saved?
5.4 Where is the Recording Saved?
The default location for video recordings is the folder called Video. If you click on the Video icon in the main
menu, you will go to this folder. Notice that there is a Videocorder action icon. Each time you use this button
to record video instead of the VideoCorder icon in the main menu, you set the recording default location to the
current folder. For example, you have created a folder called /Video/Television/Documentaries. If you go to this
folder and then make a recording using the Videocorder action icon, you will set the default record location to
this folder. Now, each time you use the VideoCorder icon to start a recording, your recording will be saved in the
folder /Video/Television/Documentaries.
