A DVD-Video has large partitions called “Titles”, and
smaller partitions within them called “Chapters”.
A music CD has other partitions called “Tracks”. A number
is allotted to each partition and these numbers are called
“title numbers”, “chapter numbers” or “track numbers”.

After you finalise a disc recorded on this unit, you can
play back the disc on other compatible DVD players
that can playback DVD-RW and DVD-R. Check your
DVD players operation manual for more information.
For more information on finalisation, see “FINALISE”
in “Setting the disc” (page 24).

Even if a disc recorded in VR mode is finalised, you
can record or edit by cancelling the finalisation. (See
“UNDO FINALISE” on page 24.)
When you playback the disc with another player, make
sure that the DVD player supports DVD-RW and bears
the following indication.

When a disc recorded in Video mode is finalised, you
can no longer edit or record onto the disc. Before you
finalise the disc, ensure you have performed all the
editing and recording required. After finalisation, a title
list that can be used by the DVD player is automatically
created.

NOTES:
• The time required to finalise a disc will vary from 2

minutes to 1 hour depending on the disc type and
the amount of free space on the disc.

• When you use a DVD-RW Ver.1.1, Ver.1.1 CPRM

support or Ver.1.2 CPRM support disc recorded in
Video mode,  you can create new recordings once
the disc is reformatted. If you reformat the disc, all
the recorded contents will be erased.

• A finalised disc may not play because of the condi-

tion of the DVD or the compatibility with the player
used for playback.

• Some players may not playback the discs recorded

on this unit. We cannot guarantee disc  playback us-
ing other players.

One-time recording is set to 1 title (1 chapter). How-
ever, if you stop recording temporarily or erase scenes
by editing, the chapter will automatically be partitioned.
The interval between chapters can be specified. (See
page 28.)

One-time recording is set to 1 title. In recording, chap-
ters are set automatically. The interval between chap-
ters can be specified. (See page 28.)

NOTES:
• The title, chapter and track are numbered, but some

discs may not record the numbers.

• Recording on DVD-RW/-R in Video mode is a new

standard approved at the 2000 DVD forum. Confor-
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.
