Pre-Recording Settings
● Insert a new DVD-R or DVD-RW (video mode) or alternatively, a similar disc that has
been recorded on using the DVD recorder.
● If the recording on a DVD-RW is to be performed once again from the beginning, erase
the disc's data using ERASE from the DISC MENU screen. ( Page 28)
Use the setting screens to select the appropriate recording signal, setup the recording
conditions, and make other necessary settings. ( Page 29)
Audio recording levels can be adjusted in one of two different ways. ( Page 32)
The title and chapter menus are used during playback of a disc to select the section of
the disc to be viewed. A total of five different display styles have been made available for
these menus, and these can be selected using the DVD MENU screen. In addition, the
DVD recorder also allows you to freely modify these display styles.

Recording Operations
● The section between the start of recording using the REC and PLAY buttons
and the end of recording using the STOP button constitutes a single recording
title, and each title is assigned a unique number.
A single disc can contain up to 99 different titles.
(chapter mark)
● Each title can be separated into a number of different chapters by inserting
chapter marks at the appropriate points. Unique numbers are also assigned
to chapters, and a single title can contain up to 99 different chapters.
● Adding chapters
If the REC button is pressed while recording, chapter mark and index will be
inserted.
In addition, CHAPTER CREATION from the RECORDER MENU (1/2) screen
can also be used to setup the automatic or manual insertion of chapter marks
and indexes.
When the INDEX CREATION item on the RECORDER MENU (2/2) screen is
set to AUTO, indexes will be inserted automatically together with chapters at
the record start point and recording pause point.
● Thumbnails (i.e., the frame at the start of recording) and backgrounds are
automatically created for the title and chapter menus using the style selected
using STYLE from the DVD MENU screen.
If EDIT MENU from the DVD MENU screen is set to ENABLE before the start
of recording, it will be possible to modify the chapter menu's style and
thumbnails and to insert chapter names and comments whenever recording
is stopped (i.e., whenever title closing is performed).
● Once title closing has been carried out, it will not be possible to modify the
chapter menu.
● The REC CONTROL panel can be used to perform recording operations with
a keyboard. (REC CONTROL from the REMOTE MENU screen must be set
to ON.)
● If EDIT MENU from the DVD MENU screen is set to ENABLE, it will be possible
to modify the title menu's style and to input title names when the disc is being
finalized.
Processing After Recording
If the disc is to be played on this DVD recorder or on a different DVD player:
Finalize the disc.
To do this, select FINALIZE from the DISC MENU screen.
* When a disc has been finalized, it will not be possible to record more content to it or to
modify its menu styles.
