Title List and

Editing

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.

1.Press DISC MENU/LIST to display the Title List menu.

Playback should be stopped when you do this.

You can also access it using HOME menu, select [MOVIE] option then select [HDD] or [DVD] option and press ENTER.

When selecting titles, use the S / T buttons to display the previous/next page if there are more than six titles.

If you are editing a VR mode disc, press DISC MENU/LIST to switch between Original and Playlist menu.

On the left side of the screen are the menu options. The main part of the screen shows thumbnails of the titles (or chapter) on the DVD or HDD. You can change these thumbnails using the THUMBNAIL button—see “Changing Title Thumbnails” on page 47.
