Play List
What is “Play List”?
You can create a play list on this DVD Video Camera 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 up to No. 99 can be created and 999 scenes can be included in play lists from No. 1 to No. 99.
Creating New Play List (Create)
1Press the DISC NAVIGATION button.
2Select the scenes to be programmed in a play 
list.

“PlayList” menu screen, 
and then press the A 
button.
5The scene select screen 
will appear: If the 
selected scenes on the 
play list are the ones you 
want, press the A 
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.99).If the added scene had skip or fade set, 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 in 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.
If you press the MENU button before pressing A in 
step 5, the submenu will appear (see page 103).
Example: 
Program 1 (recorded on September 27, 2005) Program 2 (recorded on September 30, 2005)
