Title and Chapter Editing

Edits you make to the Original content changes the actual content of the disc. For example, if you delete a title or chapter from the Original content (Title or Chapter), that title or chapter is deleted from the disc, freeing up extra recording time.

When you edit the Playlist, on the other hand, you are not changing the content of the disc. For example, when you delete a title from the Playlist, you are just telling the recorder not to play that title; nothing is actu- ally deleted from the disc.

Titles, Chapters and Parts VR

Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more chapters. When you insert a title into the Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are sections of Original or Playlist titles. From the Original and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts. Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the Original or Playlist menu.

Caution

•When editing using the Delete, Add and Move func- tions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as set in the start and end point display.

•During Playlist playback, you may notice a momen- tary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.
