About MP3 audio tracks
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies certain ISO/MPEG regulations.
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-
Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio
Layer 3) format. However, the discs must be
recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2
or Joliet format for the recorder to recognize the
tracks. You can also play discs recorded in Multi
Session.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-
RW drives and the recording software (not
supplied) for details on the recording format.
Note on Multi Session discs
If MP3 audio tracks are recorded in the first
session, the recorder will also play MP3 audio
tracks in other sessions. If audio tracks in Music
TE CD format are recorded in the first session, only
L 13942296513
the first session will be played back.

Editing

Before Editing

This recorder offers various edit options for
various disc types. Before you edit, check the disc
type in the front panel display, and select the
option available for your disc (page 8).
Note
You may lose the edited contents if you remove the disc
or a timer recording starts while editing.
Edit options for DVD+RWs/DVD-RWs
(Video mode)/DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs
+ -
+ RW -RW R
Video
You can perform simple edits. Since Video mode
titles are actual recordings on the disc, you cannot
undo any edits you make. The edit functions
available for Video mode titles are:
– Setting protection against erasure (page 63).
– Labelling a title (page 63).
– Erasing a title (page 63).
– Erasing multiple titles (page 64).
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase)
(DVD+RWs only) (page 64).
– Erasing titles to open up disc space (Disc Map)
(DVD+RWs and DVD-RWs (Video mode)
only) (page 65).
Notes
• Once the disc is finalized, you cannot edit or record on
the disc (except for DVD+RWs and DVD-RWs (VR
mode)).
• You cannot create a Playlist (see below).
• If a message appears and indicates that the disc's
control information is full, erase unnecessary titles.

VR
You can enjoy advanced edit functions. First you
have two options for a DVD-RW (VR mode):
editing either the original recording (called the
"original"), or the playback information created
from the original (called a "Playlist"). Since each
.
is different in nature and offers different merits,
read the following and select the one that better
suits your needs.

Playback order of MP3 audio tracks
Albums containing MP3 audio tracks play in the
following order.
A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums that
do not contain tracks (such as album E) are
skipped.
Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3

Album MP3 audio track
When you insert a DATA CD and press
H, the numbered tracks are played sequentially,
from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks
contained within a currently selected album take
priority over the next album in the same tree.
(Example: C contains D so 4 is played before
5.)
z Hints
• You can view the disc information while playing MP3
audio tracks (page 39).
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the
track names when you store the tracks in a disc, the
tracks will be played in that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create albums
with no more than two trees.
To edit original titles
Edits made to the original titles are final. If you
plan to retain an unaltered original recording,
create and edit a Playlist (see below). The edit
functions available for original titles are:
– Labelling a title (page 63).
– Setting protection against erasure (page 63).
– Erasing a title (page 63).
– Erasing multiple titles (page 64).
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 64).
To create and edit Playlist titles
A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles created from
the original title for editing purposes. When you
create a Playlist, only the control information
necessary for playback, such as the playback
order, is stored on the disc. Since the original titles
are left unaltered, Playlist titles can be re-edited.
Example: You have recorded the final few
R
matches of a football tournament on a DVD-RW
(VR mode). You want to create a digest with the
goal scenes and other highlights, but you also want
to keep the original recording.
In this case, you can compile highlight scenes as a
Playlist title. You can even rearrange the scene
order within the Playlist title ("Creating and
Editing a Playlist" on page 66).
The advanced edit functions available for Playlist
titles are:
– Labelling a title (page 63).
– Erasing a title (page 63).
– Erasing multiple titles (page 64).
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 64).
– Rearranging the title order (page 68).
– Dividing a title into multiple titles (page 68).
– Combining multiple titles into one title
x ao
(page 69).
