Changing Chapter Menus (THUMBNAIL EDIT Screen)

This DVD recorder can automatically create title and chapter menus as recording operations are started and stopped.
Title and chapter menus are created using the following.
•Chapter thumbnails : The frames at which chapter marks have been inserted are used as thumbnails.
•Title thumbnails : The frames at the start of individual recordings are used as thumbnails. As a result, a title’s thumbnail
is the same as that of its first chapter.
•Display style : Menus are created using the style set using the DVD MENU screen. (Styles determine factors such as
thumbnail positioning and background)
After chapter menus have been created in this way, it will be possible to modify thumbnails and styles, or to insert new names and
comments.
In specific terms, the editing of chapter menus is carried out using the THUMBNAIL EDIT screen that appears when recording of
a title is ended.
