●
The section between the start of recording using the REC and PLAY buttons
and the end of recording using the STOP button constitutes a single recording
title, and each title is assigned a unique number.
A single disc can contain up to 99 different titles.
●
Each title can be separated into a number of different chapters by inserting
chapter marks at the appropriate points. Unique numbers are also assigned
to chapters, and a single title can contain up to 99 different chapters.
●
Adding chapters
A chapter mark is inserted automatically whenever recording is paused.
In addition, CHAPTER CREATION from the RECORDER MENU (1/2) screen
can also be used to setup the automatic or manual insertion of chapter marks.
●
Thumbnails (i.e., the frame at the start of recording) and backgrounds are
automatically created for the title and chapter menus using the style selected
using PRESET STYLE.
If EDIT MENU from the SYSTEM MENU screen is set to ENABLE before the
start of recording, it will be possible to modify the chapter menu’s style and
thumbnails and to insert chapter names and comments whenever recording
is stopped (i.e., whenever title closing is performed).
●
Once title closing has been carried out, it will not be possible to modify the
chapter menu.
●
The REC CONTROL panel can be used to perform recording operations with
a keyboard and mouse. (REC CONTROL from the REMOTE MENU screen
must be set to ON.)
●
If EDIT MENU from the SYSTEM MENU screen is set to ENABLE, it will be
possible to modify the title menu’s style and to input title names when the disc
is being finalized.
