Recording with the Front Panel

Recording with the Front Panel (continued)

This DVD recorder recording operations can be carried out in two different ways — namely, using the buttons provided on the front panel and using the on-screen REC CONTROL panel. In the latter case, furthermore, recording operations can be performed using a keyboard. The following section, however, will provide a description of recording using the front panel buttons.

On a DVD, the section of video recorded between the start of recording and pressing of the STOP button to end recording is stored as a single title, and a unique title number is assigned to each of these sections. A single disc can contain up to 99 different titles. In addition, each title can be separated into a number of different chapters by inserting chapter marks at the appropriate points, and each title can contain up to 99 chapters.

Information relating to titles and chapters is stored on a disc in the form of title and chapter menus. When the disc is being played, therefore, the title and chapter menus can be used to access specific sections of stored video and audio.

● If chapter marks are to be inserted automatically, first of all set CHAPTER

CREATION to AUTO. Then use SET INTERVAL to set a time (in minutes) for

chapter mark insertion.

The DVD recorder will insert chapter marks and indexes at the corresponding

intervals during recording.

Whether a chapter mark is automatically inserted or not during a recording

pause is set with the AUTO CHAPTER (REC PAUSE) item.

ON : Insert a chapter mark and index.

OFF : Do not insert a chapter mark and index.

Notes

●The frame at which a chapter mark is inserted will be used for the corresponding thumbnail in the chapter menu. When EDIT MENU from the DVD MENU screen is set to ENABLE, the frames used for thumbnails can be modified on the THUMBNAIL EDIT screen that appears automatically at the end of recording.

●Each title can contain up to 99 chapters.

●In certain cases, the frames used for chapter menu thumbnails may differ slightly from the exact frames at which the corresponding chapter marks were inserted.

from the DISPLAY MENU screen must

both be ON for this figure to be

● During the recording process, the

current title number and chapter

number are displayed on the monitor.

(ONSCREEN will be displayed when

the DISPLAY item is ON and the TITLE/

CHAPTER/INDEX item is set to

Press the STOP button when either recording or paused.

● The action of the DVD recorder following the end of recording depends on

the setting of EDIT MENU from the DVD MENU screen.

DISABLE : Recording is ended and the chapter menu is created using

preset settings (i.e., the title is closed).

ENABLE : The THUMBNAIL EDIT screen will appear. This screen can be used to modify the chapter menu’s display style, to change the thumbnails used, to input chapter names, and to perform other similar functions. For more details, refer to page 44.

If additional recording is to be carried out, repeat steps 1 through 5 above.

● In such a case, the subsequent recording is stored as a new title.

Using the Foot Switch to Perform Recording

Operations such as recording and writing chapter marks (indexes) can be performed using the external switch that is connected to the foot switch terminal at the rear of this unit.

●Use the FOOT SW1 terminal to turn ON/OFF recording. The FOOT SW1 item on the REMOTE menu screen can be used to specify whether to use the FOOT SW1 terminal as well as to specify conditions for using the terminal. (☞ Page 70)

●Use the FOOT SW2 terminal to write chapter marks (indexes). The FOOT SW2 item on the REMOTE menu screen can be used to specify whether to use the FOOT SW2 terminal as well as to specify conditions for using the terminal. (☞ Page 70)
