Index Picture Screen

The Index Picture Screen displays an overview of the titles recorded on the disc. Each title is represented by an index picture. Next to the index picture the programme name, duration, recording mode and recording date of the title are shown. If no name is known, the DVD recorder will fill in the source and the time of the recording instead.

Empty spaces (erased titles, or blank space at the end of the disc) are also shown as such.

At maximum three titles will be shown on the screen at once. If more titles are present, you can navigate to those with the w v (down up cursor) keys.

On the right hand side of the Index Picture Screen, you can see the disc bar. This gives an overview of all titles on the disc, as well as any empty spaces.

On the disc bar, an arrow – the disc pointer – indicates your current position on the disc. From this point you may resume playback or recording.

If you navigate trough the list of titles with w v (down up cursor) or J PREVIOUS / K NEXT, the disc pointer will move along.

Press 9 STOP to reset the disc pointer to the beginning of the disc.

To move the disc pointer to the end of the last title, keep K NEXT pressed.

If you navigate from an Index Picture to the box right next to it (containing name, rec mode, etc.), you enter the title settings menu (see under ‘Managing disc content - Title settings’).
