Editing the disc

This section explains how to edit the recorded contents
on DVD-RWs. However, the items that you can edit vary
with the recording formats. In VR mode, you can edit
various title menus, whereas in Video mode, you can
edit only a few items.
Title menu
When the content is recorded, a title name that includes
the date, time, channel number and other information is
created automatically.
The title menu can be used when you playback after
confirming the contents (see page 34), or when you
check the contents recorded on the disc.
Original title
The titles explained above are called original titles; these
will be added with every recording. In VR mode you can
do various editing operations – renaming titles, adding
chapter marks, etc. In addition, you can erase the
unnecessary titles to increase the disc space.
Playlist
You can create a playlist based on the original titles.
You can combine or erase undesired scenes.
If you create a playlist it will become the primary list
used by the disc.
If you create a playlist to customize your viewing
preferences, and choose to delete it, the original titles
will not be affected. It is recommended to create and
edit the playlist to prevent important titles from being
erased accidentally.
If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist
will be displayed on the title menu.

Note
• This unit cannot record or edit a disc which was
recorded or edited using another DVD recorder.
• You cannot edit or record the disc on which disc
protection is set. In such a case, be sure to cancel
the disc protection (see page 28) before starting the
operation.
• When a scene has been erased, the selected
position for erasing may vary slightly from the
actual erased position.
