This DVD recorder offers various editing options for various disc types. Before you edit, check the disc type, and select the option available for your disc.

You can enjoy advanced editing functions with VR mode formatted DVD (DVD- RW or DVD-RAM). Editing either the original recording(called the “original”), or the playback information created from the original (called a “Playlist”).

Edits made to the original titles are final. If you plan to edit a title without editing the original title, you can create a Playlist title for editing.

A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles created from the original title for editing purpose.

Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more chapters. When you insert a disc’s 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. 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.
