Select “Next” in step (7) and perform step (8), then repeat steps

(5)–(8).

The unit pauses play when the end of the program is reached during this procedure.

The disc’s available recording time may not increase after erasing short parts of programs.

You cannot use the [STOP ] button while finding start and end points.

Dividing programs (Divide)

RAM

You can divide a selected program into two.

You must be sure you wish to divide a program because once a program has been divided it cannot be returned to its original form.

After performing steps (1) to (3) of “Erasing programs”, perform the following steps:

(4)Use [ , ] to select “Divide” and press [ENTER].

(5)Use search functions such as fast-forward and slow-motion to find the point you want to divide and press [ENTER].

To change the point to divide

Select “Divide” in step (6), then repeat steps (5)–(7).

To check the division point

By selecting “Preview” in step (6) and pressing [ENTER], play will begin from a point 10 seconds prior to the division point. You may wish to make sure that the division point is at an appropriate location.

Notes:

The divided programs retain the title of the original program.

A minute portion of the recording directly preceding the division point may be lost.

For your reference:

Use search and slow-motion to find the points.

You cannot specify an end point before a start point or a start point after an end point.

You may not be able to specify start and end points within 3 seconds of each other.

You cannot specify start and end points if the picture recorded is stilled.

For your reference:

Use search and slow-motion to find the points.

It is not possible to carry out “Divide” in the following cases:

When the resulting part(s) are extremely short.

When the total number of programs is more than 99.

You cannot use the [STOP ] button while finding the division point.
