Recording with the Front Panel
BD-X200 recording operations can be carried out in two different ways — namely, using the buttons provided on the front panel and
using the on-screen REC CONTROL panel. In the latter case, furthermore, recording operations can be performed using a keyboard
and mouse. The following section, however, will provide a description of recording using the front panel buttons.
On a DVD, the section of video recorded between the start of recording and pressing of the STOP button to end recording is stored
as a single title, and a unique title number is assigned to each of these sections. A single disc can contain up to 99 different titles.
In addition, each title can be separated into a number of different chapters by inserting chapter marks at the appropriate points, and
each title can contain up to 99 chapters.
Information relating to titles and chapters is stored on a disc in the form of title and chapter menus. When the disc is being played,
therefore, the title and chapter menus can be used to access specific sections of stored video and audio.

preset settings (i.e., the title is closed).
ENABLE : The THUMBNAIL EDIT screen will appear. This screen can be
used to modify the chapter menu’s display style, to change the
thumbnails used, to input chapter names, and to perform other
similar functions. For more details, refer to page 47.

Inserting Chapter Marks Manually or Automatically
In addition to pausing the recording, a number of different manual and automatic
methods can be used to insert chapter marks.
The actual method to be used is determined by CHAPTER CREATION and SET
INTERVAL from the RECORDER MENU (1/2) screen.
● If chapter marks are to be inserted manually at any point, set CHAPTER
CREATION to MANUAL.
Chapter marks can then be inserted by pressing the REC button while recording.
● If chapter marks are to be inserted automatically, first of all set CHAPTER
CREATION to AUTO. Then use SET INTERVAL to set a time (in minutes) for
chapter mark insertion.
The DVD recorder will insert chapter marks at the corresponding intervals during
recording.
Notes
● The frame at which a chapter mark is inserted will be used for the
corresponding thumbnail in the chapter menu. When EDIT MENU from the
SYSTEM MENU screen is set to ENABLE, the frames used for thumbnails
can be modified on the THUMBNAIL EDIT screen that appears automatically
at the end of recording.
● Each title can contain up to 99 chapters.
● In certain cases, the frames used for chapter menu thumbnails may differ
slightly from the exact frames at which the corresponding chapter marks
were inserted.
Note
When recording is stopped or a title is
closed, the state of progress will be
indicated on-screen using a progress bar.
