Step 5 Editing a recorded disc
You can select the title you want to play in a displayed
menu and then immediately start playback.
A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub sections,
called chapters.
During recording, a title is created between two points
where you start and stop recording, DVD-R/DVD-RW discs
(in Video mode) can automatically create chapters
according to the recording mode when finalized.
There are two different recording methods: Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as recording type: Once, Daily or Weekly or
recording mode: XP (high quality mode), SP (standard
quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP
(extended mode) according to the recording mode.
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes.
The recorder supports many different edit functions,
possible only with DVDs.
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate various
edit functions, such as delete, dubbing, rename, lock, etc.,
on a recorded title.
Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode)
With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on the
same disc and edit it without the change of the original
recording.
To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalizing
may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording
operations, then finalize the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when playing
the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalized
disc should be used for playback on that type of
component.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be finalized first to enable playback on any
DVD components other than this recorder. No more editing
or recording can be made on the disc once it has been
finalized.
To enable recording on the disc again, Disc should be
unfinalized.
When using a DVD-R disc
You should finalize the disc to play it on a component other
than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc
once it has been finalized.
