Making your edits DVD-compatible
If one or more titles have been edited (see 'Favourite
Scene Selection'), then the edits will play on your DVD
recorder, but a DVD player may show the original
versions instead of the edits. You can prepare your
DVD+RW discs so that also a DVD player will show the
edited version. This is not possible with DVD+R discs.
l If the Disc Settings menu shows the option 'Make
edits DVD-compatible', select this option. If
the menu does not show this option, then your
DVD+RW disc is already compatible, and no
conversion is needed.
