mity to this standard varies with each DVD player
manufacturer. Some models of DVD player or DVD-
ROM drive, therefore, will not playback recorded vid-

eos.

• In the Video mode, you can only change the disc
name and the title name. Other editing operations

cannot be performed.

Disc playback in other players

A disc recorded in this unit can be finalized. The final-
ized disc can be played back in players other than this

unit that can playback DVD-RW and DVD-R.
For more information on finalization, see "FINALIZE" in

"Setting the disc" (page 27).

When recording in the VR mode

Even if a disc recorded in the VR mode is finalize& you

can record or edit by cancelling the finalization. (See

"UNDO FINALIZE" on page 28.)
When you playback the disc with another player, make
sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW and bears

the following mark.

RW

COMPATIBLE

When recording in the Video mode

When a disc recorded in the Video mode is finalized, it
cannot be recorded onto any more. Therefore, before
finalization, be sure to perform all desired recording.

After finalization, a title list that can be used by the DVD

player is automatically created.

NOTES:

• The finalization process may require a few minutes
to about 1 hour according to disc type or the amount
of free space on the disc.

• A DVD-RW Ver.1.1 recorded in the Video mode can-

not be recorded or edited after finalization, but if you

format the disc by erasing all the content, you can

again record on this disc.

• A finalized disc may not play because of its condition
or of the DVD player used for playback.

• Some players may not playback the discs recorded
with this unit. We cannot guarantee the playback us-

ing other players.

camera allow unrestricted recording. There are no restrictions on re-
cording.

"Copy Never" (recording prohibited)

• Images that contain the recording prohibited signal cannot be re-

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

For the disc in VR mode, when the content is recorded, a title name
that includes the date, time, channel number and other information is
created automatically.

For the disc in Video mode, when you record a content first time on the
disc where nothing is recorded, the recorded content is automatically
set to Title1. Then, the second recorded content is set to Title2, and so
on. Therefore, the title is numbered according to the recording order.
The title is created max. 99. The title menu lists up these titles.
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 title, which will be added
every recording and can be edited later. You can do various editing
operations i.e., you can rename the titles, or add the chapter marks. In
addition, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc

space.

Playlist

You can create the playlist based on the original title.
You can combine the titles or erase the unnecessary scenes.
The playlist is created in regardless of the original titles and the list
won't affect the original title, if you erase the playlist, the original titles

remain, it is recommended to create and edit the playlist to prevent the

important titles from being erased accidentally.

If you create the playlist, both the original title and playlist will be dis-

played on the title menu.

NOTES:

• This unit cannot record or edit the
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) be-

fore starting the operation.

• When a scene was erased, the
selected position for erasing may

be a little different from the actual
erased position.

Editable items

The items that can be edited are different between original title and

playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be edited.

The items can be edited in each are as follows:

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the DVDfv'CR reads
the picture from the tape during playback, in the unlikely event
that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture
will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during
playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no
picture (picture is extremely snowy), if this is the case, have the
DVDfv'CR checked by qualified service personnel.

NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE
