You can select the title you want to play in a displayed menu
and then immediately start playback.
A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub sections,
called chapters.
During recording, a title is created between two points where
you start and stop recording, DVD-R/DVD-RW discs(in
Video mode) can automatically create chapters according to
the recording mode when finalized.
There are two different recording methods: Direct Recording
and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as record-
ing type : Once, Daily or Weekly or recording mode : XP
(high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long
recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the
recording mode.
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The
recorder supports many different edit functions, possible only
with DVDs.
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate various
edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock, etc., on a
recorded title.

Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode)

With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on the same
disc and edit it without the change of the original recording.
To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalizing may
be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording opera-
tions, then finalize the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when playing
the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalized
disc should be used for playback on that type of component.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalized first to enable playback on any-
thing other than this recorder. No more editing or recording
can be made on the disc once it has been finalized.
To enable recording on the disc again, Disc should be
unfinalized.

When using a DVD-R disc

You should finalize the disc to play it on a component other
than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once
it has been finalized.
