Title & Chapter Menus
This DVD recorder can automatically create title and chapter menus in response to recording operations and can save these to
the disc being recorded.
When the disc is subsequently played, these title and chapter menus can be used to access specific sections of stored video and
audio.
•When recording is stopped using the STOP button or a similar action (i.e., disc closing), a title number and a thumbnail (corre-
sponding to the frame at the start of recording) will be created to form part of the disc’s title menu. A single disc can contain up
to 99 different titles.
•Similarly, if a chapter mark is inserted during recording, a chapter number and a thumbnail (corresponding to the frame at the
chapter mark) will be created to form part of the title’s chapter menu. Chapter marks are used as targets for skipping during
playback. Each title can contain up to 99 chapters. In addition, indexes will be inserted together with chapters. (Please see
page 61 for details on indexes.)
Display Styles
A total of eight different display styles can be used with title and chapter menus. The DVD MENU screen can be used to select
the type of style to be used in the creation of title and chapter menus.
In addition, each of the display styles can be modified as required. (XPage37)
Depending on the style used and the number of menu items, title and chapter menus may extend over more than one page.
Note
This DVD recorder can store a total of six different display patterns for title and chapter menus.
At the time of purchase, this DVD recorder will contain five different template files. Any of the stored display patterns can be
selected to change the styles applied to each of the title and chapter menus.
Modifying Chapter Menus
A chapter menu’s display style and thumbnails can be edited at the end of recording (i.e., during title closing); furthermore,
titles and comments for the chapter menu can also be input at this time. (EDIT MENU from the DVD MENU screen must be set
to ENABLE for this to be possible.) (XPage47)
Modifying the Title Menu
The style used for the title menu and the text input for the title name may both be modified before finalizing is carried out. (EDIT
MENU from the DVD MENU screen must be set to ENABLE for this to be possible.) (XPage53)
Notes
•Thumbnail of the title menu will be the top thumbnail of the chapter menu.
•Once a title is closed, it will no longer be possible to modify the chapter menu.
•No modifications what so ever will be possible when the disc has been finalized.
•When a disc is finalized, its title menu will be used to create the top menu.
•Thumbnail creation method during wide-signal recording can be selected in THUMBNAIL FORM of the DVD MENU screen.
