PRV-9000 Operating Instructions

1.1.4Editing

The following points summarize the editing functions.

Safe, Non-Destructive Editing (VR mode)

When editing a DVD-RW disc, the original content on the disc is left untouched. The edited version (Playlist content) points to your selected areas on the original disc content.

Chapter Marking (VR mode)

Use the chapter marks that were automatically inserted during recording for edits.

Add, Move and Delete Parts (VR mode)

Parts are segments that make up a title. Parts, or video scenes, inserted into the Playlist, can be moved or deleted. The original content is unaffected, just the segments on the playlist are affected.

1.1.5Compatibility

DVD-Video is a new recording format agreed upon by the DVD Forum in the year 2000. There may be some issues playing a recordable DVD (DVD- R/RW) disc in some players. The following points provide general compatibility information.

Play Video-format recordings on a DVD player (Video mode)

Discs formatted and recorded using the Video mode can be played back compatible DVD players and drives.

Some older players may fail to play back the DVD-R/RW format.

DVD-Video playback may require additional software to function properly.

Note: Some symptoms include an unreadable TOC (Table of Contents) from a disc, video artifacts, playback freezes, audio and/or video dropouts. Pioneer suggests addressing problems to the manufacturer of the playback device.
