1.4.3Editing A DVD Recording

Traditionally, editing a VCR/VHS videotape requires two tape decks, one deck to play back the original tape and a second unit to record the changes. DVD recording allows you to make a Playlist of what to play and when to play it, leaving the original material intact (Fig 1-5). The PRV-9000 recorder plays back the disc according to your Playlist selections.

Figure 1-5: Original content > edited Playlist

Throughout this manual, the word, Original, refers to the actual content while the word, Playlist, refers to the edited version.

While using the PRV-9000 recorder, a <disc> icon or a <player> icon may appear on-screen. The <disc> icon means that the disc blocks the requested function and the <player> icon means the recorder blocks the function.
