Program Edit

You can select scenes from a DV/Digital8 format
tape, and then automatically record selected
scenes to a disc of your choice.

To use this function, you will do the following:

Using the recorder’s remote control, fast forward
or rewind the tape to select the scenes. At this
point, the selected scenes are not copied to the
disc. The recorder only remembers the IN and
OUT points of the scenes that you selected for
dubbing. You can also reset, erase, or change the
order of the scenes.

After you have selected the scenes, the recorder
will fast forward and rewind the tape
automatically and record the scenes to a disc of
your choice.

◆

How chapters are created

The dubbed contents on the disc become one title,
and the title is divided into chapters. For a DVD-
RW (VR mode) and the HDD, every shooting on
the tape and each selected scene becomes a
chapter on the disc (Auto Scene Chaptering
function). For other discs, the recorder divides the
title in either 6 or 15-minute intervals, according
to the setting in “Auto Chapter” in Features Setup.
