I have narrowed down my choice of DVD Recorder to a Pioneer 520 but have a few concerns about widescreen recordings after reading the online manual and a few comments made in other threads.
For example, if I record a widescreen programme from Sky One onto the hard disk (via SCART 1) it will be a mixture of 16:9 and 4:3 (adverts). Page 60 of the manual implies that I cannot transfer this onto DVD-R using the "One Touch Copy" button. Is that correct?
There also seems to be similar limitations when using the "Copy List" and widescreen material. It seems you can work around that by turning on "Frame Accurate" mode but doesn't that mean you can no longer copy edited material in high speed?
Finally, if I connect the Digibox TV output (RGB) into the recorder's SCART 1 and loop the signal to the TV via SCART 2, does it retain the widescreen switching signal generated by the Digibox so that the TV with continue to switch aspect ratio?
Thanks.
