type in the front panel display, and select the
option available for your disc (page 8).
You may lose the edited contents if you remove the disc
or a timer recording starts while editing.

Edit options for DVD-RWs (VR mode)
You can el_ioy 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 l)llowing 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:
Labeling a title (page 65).
Setting protection against erasure (page 65).
Erasing a title (page 65).
Erasing muhiple titles (page 66).
Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 66).
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 soccer 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 68).
