format and editing method.)
Original and Playlist (VR mode)
For VR mode DVD-RW disc, you can edit the 
recordings in Playlist without changing the original 
recordings. Playlist does not take up much disc space.
What “Original” or “Playlist” is for?
There are 2 types for the title list: Original and Playlist
•Original content refers to what’s actually recorded 
on the VR mode DVD-RW disc.
•Playlist content refers to the edited version of the 
VR mode DVD-RW disc; how the Original content is 
to be played.
Finalising a Disc
• This will allow a disc that is recorded on this unit to 
be played back on a different DVD player — without 
finalisation it will not be playable on another player.
• After finalising a DVD-RW/-R or DVD+R disc, you 
cannot edit any information that is on that disc.
• If you have recorded in DVD+RW disc, then editing 
is still permitted after finalising.
Using these editing functions to modify 
copyrighted content for any purpose other than 
your private viewing may be prohibited under the 
Copyright Laws of the United States and other 
countries, and may subject you to civil and 
criminal liability.
Note
• A Playlist is not available for DVD-R or Video mode 
DVD-RW and DVD+RW/+R discs.
• It is not possible to edit a disc recorded in another 
video system other than PAL, such as NTSC.

Deleting Titles
You can delete titles you do not want to keep.
When an Original is deleted from VR mode DVD-RW 
disc, the recordable disc space will increase. When a 
Playlist is deleted, the original of the Playlist will 
remain, and recordable disc space will not increase.
Recordable disc space of Video mode DVD-RW and 
DVD+RW disc will increase when the last title on the 
title list is deleted. However, deleting the title will not 
change recordable disc space for DVD-R and DVD+R 
disc.
In finalised DVD-R, Video mode DVD-RW or DVD+R 
discs, you cannot select the title list because it cannot 
be edited once finalised.
