Editing the disc
This section explains how to edit the
recorded DVD. Editing the disc
means editing the title menu. How-
ever, the items that you can edit vary
with the recording formats. In VR
mode, you can edit various title
menus, whereas in video mode, you
can edit only a few items.
Title menu
When you record a video first time on the DVD (in VR mode) where
nothing is recorded, the recorded content is automatically set to Title1.
Then, the second recorded content is set to Title2, and so on. There-
fore, the title is numbered according to the recording order. The title
number will be created max. **.
The title menu lists up these title numbers.
The title menu can be used when you play back the disc, display the
menu you want to watch and play it back (see page 24), or when you
check the contents recorded on the disc.
Original title
The titles explained above are called original title, which will be added
every recording and can be edited later. You can do various editing
operations i.e., you can name the titles, or add and erase the chapter
marks. In addition, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase
the disc space.
Play list title
You can create the play list based on the original title.
You can combine the titles or erase the unnecessary scenes.
The play list is created in regardless of the original titles and the list
won’t affect the original title. If you erase the play list, the original titles
remain. It is recommended to create and edit the play list to prevent
the important titles from being erased accidentally.
If you create the play list, both the original title and play list will be
displayed on the title menu.
Editable items
The items that can be edited are different between original title and
play list. For the disc in video mode, only the program name can be
edited and the play list cannot be created.
The items can be edited in each are as follows:
NOTES:
• This unit cannot record or edit the
disc which was recorded or edited
using the other DVD recorder and
has chapter marks of *** or more.
• You cannot edit or record the disc
on which disc protection is set. In
such a case, be sure to cancel the
disc protection (see page 74) be-
fore starting the operation.
• When a scene was erased, the
selected position for erasing may
be a little different from the actual
erased position.
• The disc which was fully recorded
using the other DVD recorder may
not be edited by this unit.
If you finalize the disc in video mode, the title list will be created and
you cannot use the title menu.

Problems and troubleshooting / Video head cleaning
Video head cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR reads
the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event
that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture
will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during
playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no
picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have the
DVD/VCR checked by qualified service personnel.
NOTES: •DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE
REAR COVER.
•Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
•To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
