Play List
What is “Play List”?
You can create a play list on this DVD Palmcorder by gathering your favorites from the recorded scenes.
Since the play list is not created by copying data, you will consume little of the disc capacity by making 
a play list. On the other hand, deleting scenes on play list will not increase the remaining disc capacity for 
recording.
Play lists of up to No. 99 can be created and 999 scenes can be included in play lists of No. 1 to No. 99.
Creating New Play List (Create)
Here we create a play list.
1Press the DISC NAVIGATION button.
2Select the scenes to be programmed in a play list.
3Press the MENU button.
4Choose “Create” on the 
“PlayList” menu screen, 
and then press the 
 
button.
5The scene select screen 
will appear: If the 
selected scenes on the 
play list are the ones you 
want, press the 
 
button.
If you want to change 
the scenes with which 
you want to create a play 
list, you can change them on this screen.
With the created play list, you can also add 
scenes recorded on another day or delete 
unnecessary scenes afterwards.
6When creation of a play list is complete, the Disc 
Navigation screen will appear.
Note:You can also select multiple scenes (P.100).If the added scene had skip or fade setting, that 
information will also be added to the play list.
The date/time when a play list was created will appear as 
the title for the play list.
If free space available on disc is insufficient, creation of 
new play list may not be possible: Delete unnecessary 
scenes.
Only the data on scenes is recorded on play list: If you 
create or delete play lists, the original scenes in programs 
will not be erased.
Editing scenes on play list will not affect the scenes in 
programs.
