Before you start

Title/Chapter/Track

A DVD-Video has large partitions called ÒTitlesÓ, and smaller partitions within them called ÒChaptersÓ.

A music CD has other partitions called ÒTracksÓ. A number is allotted to each partition and these numbers are called Òtitle numbersÓ, Òchapter numbersÓ or Òtrack numbersÓ.

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 ÒFINALIZEÓ in ÒSetting the discÓ (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 ÒUNDO FINALIZEÓ 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.
