How chapters are created
The contents dubbed to the HDD or DVD
become a single title. When "Auto Chapter"
is set to "On" in the "Recording" setup, this
title is divided into chapters. When dubbing
to the HDD or a DVD-RW/DVD-R (VR
mode), each shooting session on the tape and
each selected scene becomes a chapter on the
disc. For other discs, the recorder divides the
title into chapters at approximately 6 minute
intervals.
