Creating chapters in a title

The recorder can automatically divide a recording
(a title) into chapters by inserting chapter marks
during recording. To disable this function, set
"Auto Chapter" in "Features" setup to "Off"
(page 80).
When recording on a DVD-RW (VR mode)
The recorder detects changes in the picture and
sound and automatically inserts chapter marks.
You can also insert and erase chapter marks
manually (page 67).
When recording on other recordable discs
Chapter marks are inserted at approximately 6
minute intervals during recording.
