Before Editing

Basic Editing
This section explains the basic edit functions. Note that these
edits are irreversible to the original status.
If you want to edit a DVD-RW (VR mode) without changing the
original recordings, create a Playlist (page 67).
Notes
• If "No new data can be added to this disc" appears on the screen, erase
any unwanted titles before editing.
• For DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs (Video mode):
Finish all the editing before finalizing the disc. You cannot edit a
finalized disc.
• For original titles in DVD-RWs (VR mode):
Original titles provide a source for derived Playlist. When you use an
original title for a Playlist, you will be unable to erase or edit the
original title.

Before Editing
This recorder offers various edit options. Before you edit, read
the following to see what is available for your disc.
Note that you may lose the edited contents if you remove the disc
or a timer recording starts while editing.
Checking the disc type, recording
format, and title type
Press TITLE LIST, and check the disc type and recording format
indicated at the top of the Title List menu. If the disc is a VR
mode disc, check also the title type, Original or Playlist. If you
edit an original title instead of a Playlist title by mistake, it is
irreversible. You will be unable to recover the erased title, or
revert the edited title to the previous status.
Edit options for DVD-RWs (Video
mode)/DVD+RWs/DVD-Rs
You can perform simple edits. Since Video mode titles are actual
recordings on the disc, you cannot undo the edits you have done.

Edit options for DVD-RWs (VR mode)
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
following and select the one that better suits your needs.
Editing the "Original"
Basic edit functions available with Originals:
– Labeling a title (page 64).
– Setting protection against erasure (page 64).
– Erasing a title (page 65).
– Erasing multiple titles (page 65).
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 66).
All edits made to the original title are final. If you plan to retain
an unaltered original recording, create and edit a Playlist (see
below).
The Title List (Original) menu displays all the original titles on the disc.

Editing the "Playlist"
10/19
10/26
A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles created from the original
10/28
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.
Example: You have recorded the final few matches of a football
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 collect the scenes of the highlights, and
create playback information (a Playlist title). You can even
rearrange the scene order within the Playlist title.
The above is only an example. Try using the Playlist's various
edit functions, or use them in conjunction with an Original edit.
Devise your own ways of editing with Playlists and Originals.
The Title List (Playlist) menu displays the Playlist titles on the disc.
