Disc Playback In Other Players - Sharp DV-RW250X Operation Manual

Disc
Title/Chapter/Track
A DVD-Video has large partitions called "Titles", and
smaller partitions within them called "Chapters".
A music CD has other partitions called "Tracks". A num-
ber is allotted to each partition and these numbers are
called "title numbers", "chapter numbers" or "track num-
bers".

When recording in the VR mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). How-
ever, if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes
by editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned.
The interval between chapters can be specified. (See
page 25.)
When recording in the Video mode
One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording, chap-
ters are set automatically. The interval between chap-
ters can be specified. (See page 25.)
NOTES:
• The title, chapter and track are numbered, but some
discs may not record the numbers.
• Recording on DVD-R/RW in the Video mode is a new
standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum. Confor-
mity to this standard varies with each DVD player
manufacturer. Some models of DVD player or DVD-
ROM drive, therefore, will not playback recorded vid-
eos.

Disc playback in other players

A disc recorded in this unit can be finalised. The disc
can be played back in other players that can playback
DVD-RW and DVD-R.
For more information on finalisation, see "FINALISE"
in "Setting the disc" (page 21).
When recording in the VR mode
Even if a disc recorded in the VR mode is finalised, you
can record or edit by cancelling the finalisation. (See
"UNDO FINALISE" on page 21.)
When you playback the disc with another player, make
sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW and bears
the following mark.
When recording in the Video mode
When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalised, it
cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore, before
finalisation, be sure to perform all desired recording.
After finalisation, a title list that can be used by the DVD
player is automatically created.
NOTES:
• The finalisation process may require from a few min-
utes up to 1 hour depending on the disc type and the
amount of free space on the disc.
• A DVD-RW Ver.1.1 recorded in the Video mode can-
not be recorded or edited after finalisation, but if you
format the disc by erasing all the content, you can
again record on this disc.
• A finalised disc may not play because of the condi-
tion of the DVD or the compatibility with the player
used for playback.
• Some players may not playback the discs recorded
with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback us-
ing other players.
