Editing the disc
This section explains how to edit
the recorded contents on DVD-
RWs. However, the items that you
can edit vary with the recording
formats. In VR mode, you can edit
various title menus, whereas in
Video mode, you can edit only a
few items.
Title menu
When the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time,
channel number and other information is created automatically.
The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the
contents (see page 35), or when you check the contents recorded on
the disc.
Original title
The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added
with every recording. In VR mode you can do various editing opera-
tions i.e., you can rename the titles or add the chapter marks. In addi-
tion, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space.
Playlist
You can create a playlist based on the original titles.
You can combine or erase undesired scenes.
If you create a playlist, it will become the primary list used by the disc.
If you create a playlist to customize your viewing preferences, and
choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recom-
mended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from
being erased accidentally.
If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist will be dis-
played on the title menu.
Editable items
The items that can be edited are different between original title and
playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be edited.
The items can be edited in each are as follows:
NOTES:
• This unit cannot record or edit a
disc which was recorded or edited
using another DVD recorder.
•You cannot edit or record the disc
on which disc protection is set. In
such a case, be sure to cancel the
disc protection before starting the
operation.
• When a scene has been erased,
the selected position for erasing
may vary slightly from the actual
erased position.
