Before editing
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.
APlaylist 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.
Adding chapter markers
You can create chapters within a title by inserting chapter marks at the desired
point. Press MARKER at the desired point whilst playing back or recording.

The chapter markers can be added at regular intervals automatically by setting

Deleting a title or chapter
When you delete a title or chapter from the Playlist, the title or chapter in the
Original still remains. However, if you delete a chapter or title from the Original,
the title or chapter deleted from the Original are also removed from Playlist.
