Title List and Chapter List Menu Overview

Using the Title List menu, you can search for recorded titles and edit them. The editing features available in the Title List menu depend on whether you are editing video on DVD, or the HDD, and whether you’re editing Original content, or a Playlist.

There are two ways to edit DVD-RAM and VR mode DVD-RW discs. You can directly edit the Original content of the disc, or you can create and edit a Playlist. The Playlist doesn’t actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how the content is played back.

Editing material recorded on the HDD is similar to editing the Original content of a DVD-RAM or VR mode DVD-RW, with similar commands for erasing and naming titles, as well as fine control over the content of chapters within titles for DVD disc.

Note:

During recording, if you display the Title List menu for the HDD, some of the titles may appear with a mark. These titles were recorded with a Line Input setting different to the current setting of the recorder.

During recording, these titles cannot be played.
