Recording with the Front Panel

Recording

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.

It is possible to insert a chapter mark either manually or automatically.

Indxes are written together with chapter marks.

The actual method to be used is determined by CHAPTER CREATION and

SET INTERVAL from the RECORDER MENU (1/2) screen.

● If chapter marks are to be inserted manually at any point, set CHAPTER

CREATION to MANUAL.

Chapter marks and indexes can then be inserted by pressing the REC button

while recording.

Notes

●A maximum of 10 minutes will be required to complete title closing.

●The remaining time available for recording on a disc will be displayed on the monitor. Note that this is to be used as a general guide, not as an exact figure. (DISPLAY and REMAIN from the DISPLAY MENU screen must both be ON for this figure to be displayed.)

●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 TITLE+CHAPTER.)

Insert a disc that can be recorded on.

1.With the DVD recorder stopped, make all of the required settings and adjust the audio recording levels.

2.Start recording.

This is done by pressing the REC and PLAY buttons simultaneously.

3.Pause recording.

This is done by pressing the PAUSE button.

●The recording pause mode is entered.

When the AUTO CHAPTER (REC PAUSE) item of the RECORDER [1/2] screen is set to ON, a chapter mark is automatically inserted when the recording pause mode is entered.

A number of different methods can also be used for the manual or automatic insertion of chapter marks. (☞ Page 39)

4.Restart recording.

Press the PLAY or PAUSE button.

●Recording will begin once again and a new chapter will be created in the current title.

5.End recording (i.e., close the title)

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.

● 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.

OFF : Do not insert a chapter mark.

Notes

●When the INDEX CREATION item on the RECORDER MENU (2/2) screen is set to AUTO, indexes will be inserted together with chapters at the record start point and reording pause point.

●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.

●Indexes can be added or deleted when in the Playback mode.

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 69)

●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 69)

●It is necessary to set this unit to the Recording mode or Recording pause mode in advance when using the FOOT SW1 terminal.
