Step 6
Finalising & Playing on
other DVD components
To play your DVD on other DVD components,
finalising may be necessary. First, finish all editing and
recording operations, then finalise the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although finalising is generally unnecessary when
playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible
component, a finalised disc should be used for
playback on that type of component.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be finalised first to enable playback
on anything other than this recorder. No more editing
or recording can be made on the disc once it has
been finalised.
To enable recording on the disc again, disc should be
unfinalised.
When using a DVD-R disc
You should finalise the disc to play it on a component
other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on
the disc once it has been finalised.
Step 5
Editing a recorded disc
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video
tapes. The recorder supports many different edit
functions, possible only with DVDs and HDD.
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate
various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename,
lock, etc., on a recorded title.
Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode,
HDD)
With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on
the same disc and edit it without the change of the
original recording.
■
You can only use either the VR or Video
mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the
same time.
■
You can change the DVD-RW format to
another format by reinitializing. It should
be noted that the disc's data will be lost
when changing formats.

Step 4
Playing
You can select the title you want to play in a
displayed menu and then immediately start
playback.
A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub
sections, called chapters.
During recording, a title is created between two
points where you start and stop recording.
Chapters will be created automatically when you
finalise recording on DVD-RW/-R discs in Video
mode.
The chapter’s length (interval between chapters)
varies according to the recording mode.
There are two different recording methods, Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified.
Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP
(standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode),
and EP (extended mode) according to the recording
mode. When recording is set in the FR mode, the best
quality picture is recorded with regards to the
remaining time on the disc.
