About playback order of albums,
tracks, and files
Albums play in the following order:
Structure of disc contents
Tree 1
Tree 2
Tree 3
Tree 4
Tree 5
ROOT
Album
MP3 audio track/
JPEG image file
When you insert a DATA CD/DATA DVD and
press H, the numbered tracks (or files) are
played sequentially, from 1 through 7. For
JPEG image files, press
to go to the next
album. (For instance, when you want to go from
1 to 2.) Any sub-albums/tracks (or files)
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.) When you press TITLE LIST and the list of
album names appears (page 32), the album names
are arranged in the following order: A t B t
C t D t F t G. Albums that do not
contain tracks (or files) (such as album E) do not
appear in the list.

Notes
• The Playlist title calls up data from the original titles for
playback. When an original title is used for a Playlist
title, the original title cannot be erased.
• If a message appears and indicates that the disc's
control information is full, erase or edit unnecessary
titles.
• Playlist titles containing titles recorded with the "Copy-
Once" copy protection signal cannot be dubbed or
moved (page 73).

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 66).
– Labelling a title (page 66).
– Erasing a title (page 66).
– Erasing multiple titles (page 68).
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase)
(DVD+RWs only) (page 67).
– Erasing all titles on the disc (page 69).
– Erasing titles to open up disc space (Disc Map)
(DVD+RWs and DVD-RWs (Video mode)
only) (page 69).
b
Notes
• When editing a DVD+R or DVD-R, finish all editing
before finalising the disc. You cannot edit a finalised
disc.
• The available disc space does not increase even when
you erase titles for DVD+Rs and DVD-Rs.
• If a message appears and indicates that the disc's
control information is full, erase or edit unnecessary
titles.
66
z Hints
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the
track/file names when you store the tracks (or files) in
a disc, the tracks and files 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.
b
Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the DATA
DVD/DATA CD, the playback order may differ from
the above illustration.
• No more than a total of 199 individual folders can be
played. (Folders that do not contain JPEG/MP3 files
are counted as well.)
• No more than a total of 999 folders and files can be
played. (Files other than JPEG/MP3 files, and folders
that do not contain JPEG/MP3 files are counted as
well.)
• No more than 200 folders and files can be recognized
in a single folder. (Folders that do not contain JPEG/
MP3 files are counted as well.)
• Proceeding to the next or another album may take some
time.
• This recorder supports MP3 audio bit rates up to 160
kbps.

VR
You can enjoy advanced edit functions. First you
have two options for the HDD and DVD-RWs
(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.
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 66).
– Setting protection against erasure (page 66).
– Erasing a title (page 66).
– Erasing multiple titles (page 68).
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 67).
– Erasing all titles on the disc (page 69).
– Erasing a chapter (page 67).
– Dividing one title into two titles (HDD only)
(page 68).
"A-B Erase": Erases a section of the title
(page 67).
"Delete Chapter": Erases chapter units of the
title while viewing thumbnails (see below).
"Divide": Divides a title into two titles
(page 68).
z Hints
• You can erase multiple titles at one time (page 68), or
erase all of the titles on the disc at once (page 69).
• You can automatically erase titles that have already
played.
• You can label or re-label DVDs (page 38).

Note
DVD-RW (VR mode) playlist titles cannot be protected.

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
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.
Original
Playlist
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 70).
The advanced edit functions available for Playlist
titles are:
– Setting protection against erasure (HDD only)
(page 66).
– Labelling a title (page 66).
– Erasing a title (page 66).
– Erasing multiple titles (page 68).
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 67).
– Rearranging the title order (DVD-RWs (VR
mode) only) (page 71).
– Dividing a title into multiple titles (page 68).
– Combining multiple titles into one title
(page 71).
– Erasing a chapter (page 67).
z Hint
You can display the disc's Playlist titles in the Title List
(Playlist), or the original titles in the Title List (Original).
To switch the two Title Lists, press TOOLS while a Title
List is displayed, and select "Original" or "Playlist."
