Title/Chapter/Track
A DVD-Video has large partitions called “Titles”, and
smaller partitions within them called “Chapters”.
A music CD has other partitions called “Tracks”. A
number is allotted to each partition and these numbers
are called “title numbers”, “chapter numbers” or “track
numbers”.

When recording in the VR mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). However,
if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes by
editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned.
The interval between chapters can be specified. (See
page 31.)
When recording in the Video mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording,
chapters are set automatically. The interval between
chapters can be specified. (See page 31.)
Note
• The title, chapter and track are numbered, but
some discs may not record the numbers.
• Recording on DVD-R/RW in the Video mode is a
new standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum.
Conformity to this standard varies with each DVD
player manufacturer. Some models of DVD player
or DVD-ROM drive, therefore, will not playback
recorded videos.
Disc playback in other players
A disc recorded in this unit can be finalized. The disc
can be played back in other players that can playback
DVD-RW and DVD-R.
For more information on finalization, see “FINALIZE” in
“Setting the disc” (page 28).
When recording in the VR mode
Even if a disc recorded in the VR mode is finalized, you
can record or edit by cancelling the finalization. (See
“UNDO FINALIZE” on page 28.)
When you playback the disc with another player, make
sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW and bears
the following mark.
When recording in the Video mode
When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it
cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore, before
finalization, be sure to perform all desired recording.
After finalization, a title list that can be used by the DVD
player is automatically created.
Note
• The finalization process may require from a few
minutes up to 1 hour depending on the disc type
and the amount of free space on the disc.
• A DVD-RW Ver.1.1/1.2 recorded in the Video mode
cannot be recorded or edited after finalization, but
if you format the disc by erasing all the content, you
can again record on this disc.
• A finalized disc may not play because of the
condition of the DVD or the compatibility with the
player used for playback.
• Some players may not playback the discs recorded
with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback
using other players.
