When using a DVD-RW (VR mode), chapter marks [b] are marked where the recordings stop and start on the tape [a]. Chapter marks are also inserted at the IN and OUT points of the selected scenes [c].

For other discs, the recorder marks chapters either in 6 or 15 minute intervals depending on the setting in “Auto Chapter” in Features Setup (page 79).

To use this function, you will do the following:

Connect your digital video camera and prepare for recording

m

Select and edit the scenes you want to dub

Using the recorder’s remote control, you will fast forward or rewind the tape to select the scenes. At this point, the selected scenes are not copied to the disc. The recorder only remembers the IN and OUT points of the scenes that you selected for dubbing. You can also reset, erase, or change the order of the scenes.

m

Dub the selected scenes to a disc

After you have selected the scenes, the recorder will fast forward and rewind the tape automatically and record the scenes to a disc of your choice.
