Erasing and Editing
b Notes
• The Playlist title calls up data from the original titles for
playback. When an original title is used for a Playlist
title, the original title cannot be erased.
• If a message appears and indicates that the disc’s
control information is full, erase or edit unnecessary
titles.
• Playlist titles containing titles recorded with the “Copy-
Once” copy protection signal cannot be dubbed or
moved (page 80).
You can perform simple edits. Since Video mode
titles are actual recordings on the disc, you cannot
undo any edits you make. The edit functions
available for Video mode titles are:
–Setting protection against erasure (page 73).
–Labelling a title (page 73).
–Erasing a title (page 73).
–Erasing multiple titles (page 75).
–Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase)
(DVD+RWs only) (page 74).
–Erasing all titles on the disc (page 76).
–Erasing titles to open up disc space (Disc Map)
(DVD+RWs and DVD-RWs (Video mode)
only) (page 76).
b Notes
• When editing a DVD+R or DVD-R, finish all editing
before finalising the disc. You cannot edit a finalised
disc.
• The available disc space does not increase even when
you erase titles for DVD+Rs and DVD-Rs.
• If a message appears and indicates that the disc’s
control information is full, erase or edit unnecessary
titles.
