DVD Editing
Title List and Chapter List 
Menu Overview 
Using the Title List menu you can edit video content. The editing features available in the Title List menu depend on whether you are editing video on DVD, and whether you’re editing Original content, or a Playlist.

1. Press MENU/LIST to display the Title List menu. Playback should be stopped when you do this.
 y 
When selecting titles, use the s/w buttons to display the previous/next page if there are more than six titles.

VR Mode: Original and Playlist 
Editing
Titles, Chapters and Parts
Titles in the disc’s original content contain one or more chapters. When you add a disc’s title into the Playlist, all the chapters within that title also added. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on original content. From the Original and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts. Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the Original or Playlist menu.
 
y When editing using the Delete, Add and 
Move functions, the start and end frames 
may not be exactly as set in the start and 
end point display.
 
y During Playlist playback, you may notice a 
momentary pause between edits. This is not 
a malfunction. 
>Caution
Is editing a DVD like editing a video 
tape?
No. When you edit a video tape you need one video deck to play the original tape and another to record the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a ‘Playlist’ of what to play and when to play it. On playback, the Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.
