Edit function
Editing recorded material without changing
the original titles
You can create a playlist based on the original titles.
The playlist won’t affect the original titles. If you erase
the playlist, the original titles remain. It is recom-
mended to create and edit the playlist to prevent
important titles from being erased accidentally.
Chapter mark
You can add (or delete) a chapter mark to (from) the
original title. This function is useful when searching
for the scene you wish to watch that you have
marked with the Chapter mark function.
Erasing scenes
You can erase an unnecessary scene from the
created playlist or the original titles.
Combining titles
You can combine several original titles or playlists to
a separate playlist.

Dubbing cannot be carried out when attempting
to copy a “copy guarded” video tape or disc.
Not only can you playback and record video tapes,
but you can also playback DVD discs or make
recordings using DVD-RW/DVD-R discs with this
unit. In addition, you can edit the programs you have
recorded.
A realistic, powerful, Movie Theater sound
When connected to Dolby Digital and DTS compli-
ant devices, you can enjoy realistic, powerful
surround sound.
Playback the scene you want to see immediately
As DVDs do not require rewinding like video tapes,
you can get to the scene you wish to watch immedi-
ately. A variety of search functions allow you to find
the scene you wish to watch.
As thumbnail images are displayed in the title menu,
you can find the title you want to play back quickly.
With just this one unit, you can dub however you
like, from video tape to disc, or from disc to video
tape.
