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 31), 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
operations i.e., you can rename the titles, or add the chapter marks.
In addition, 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 customise 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
displayed 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 may not be able to
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 (see
page 23) before starting the
operation.
• When a scene has been erased,
the selected position for erasing
may vary slightly from the actual
erased position.
