NOTES:
• When playing back a video tape
or disc that is not recorded in Hi-Fi
stereo mode, the audio will auto-
matically be monaural.
• When listening to a Hi-Fi video
tape, disc or MTS broadcast
through the RF OUT (UHF/VHF)
jack (Audio/Video cord not con-
nected), the sound will be monau-
ral.
When a MTS STEREO broadcast is re-
ceived, the word “STEREO” will appear on
the screen and the program can be viewed
or recorded in stereo.
The Hi-Fi STEREO recording procedure is
the same as for normal recordings.
NOTE:
When using a Cable TV system, stereo TV programs may be transmit-
ted over a mono cable channel. In this case the word “STEREO” will
not appear and the sound will be in mono.
Output selection
When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing a prerecorded
Hi-Fi STEREO on video tape, press
AUDIO SELECT
to select how the
audio will be heard through the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi
STEREO position, this button can be set to the MONO position if the
stereo audio is of poor quality. The “R” and “L” positions allow the au-
dio from the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard over both TV speak-
ers. This button has no effect when viewing a monaural audio pro-
gram. Each time when you press the button, output selection display
appears on the screen for several seconds. Refer to the chart below.
Output selection for DVD
You can switch between the left or right channel and stereo only
when playing a disc on which a bilingual broadcast was recorded in
the DVD-RW VR mode. It is not possible to switch between channels
otherwise as only the channel selected in the setting of SAP (Second
Audio Program; ON or OFF) is recorded in the DVD-RW Video mode
or DVD-R (see page 31).
NOTE:
When a stereo or monaural broadcast is recorded, either stereo or
monaural, respectively, is played back and it is not possible to switch
between channels.
Editing the disc

Editing the disc
This section explains how to edit
the recorded contents on DVD-
RWs. However, 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 the content is recorded, a title name that includes the date, time,
channel number and other information is created automatically.
The title menu can be used when you playback after confirming the
contents (see page 34), or when you check the contents recorded on
the disc.
Original title
The titles explained above are called original titles; these will be added
with every recording. In VR mode you can do various editing opera-
tions i.e., you can rename the titles, or add the chapter marks. In addi-
tion, you can erase the unnecessary titles to increase the disc space.
Playlist
You can create a playlist based on the original titles.
You can combine or erase undesired scenes.
If you create a playlist it will become the primary list used by the disc.
If you create a playlist to customize your viewing preferences, and
choose to delete it, the original titles will not be affected. It is recom-
mended to create and edit the playlist to prevent important titles from
being erased accidentally.
If you create a playlist, both the original title and playlist will be dis-
played on the title menu.
Editable items
The items that can be edited are different between original title and
playlist. For the disc in Video mode, only the title name can be edited.
The items can be edited in each are as follows:
NOTES:
• This unit cannot record or edit a
disc which was recorded or edited
using another DVD recorder.
• You cannot edit or record the disc
on which disc protection is set. In
such a case, be sure to cancel the
disc protection before starting the
operation.
• When a scene has been erased,
the selected position for erasing
may vary slightly from the actual
erased position.
