DV/D8 Edit List. You can select a program from the DV/D8 Edit
List and use this information to copy the same contents onto
another disc of your choice.
To use this function, you will do the following:
Connect your digital video camera and prepare for recording
Be sure to insert the original DV/Digital8 format tape that
corresponds to the program in the DV/D8 Edit List.

and where the recordings start on the tape. For other discs, the
recorder marks chapters either in 6 or 15 minute intervals
depending on the setting in "Auto Chapter" in Features Setup
