• There may be a small difference between a location you

• Pausing a recording automatically creates a chapter
division.
• During relay recording (
page 50), a chapter division is
automatically created at the start point of relay record.
• During an A-B recording (
page 50), if the recorder
has to record all content onto the HDD, a chapter division
is automatically created at a point that corresponds to the
beginning of side of a DVD-RAM disc.
• If you create chapters in a title which is stored in the HDD
and copy the title to a DVD-R/RW, the chapter divisions
may shift.
