stored in accordance with the DVD Video Standard; accordingly, this content
can also be replayed as DVD video.
● Although a disc finalized using this DVD recorder may in principle be played
on other DVD players, there is no guarantee that all of its content will be
playable.
● When the AUTO FINALIZE item on the DISC menu screen is set to ON,
finalization will be automatically performed when ejecting the disc. (When
the EDIT MENU item on the DVD MENU screen is set to DISABLE.)

Title & Chapter Menu Settings
Changing Chapter Menus (THUMBNAIL EDIT Screen)
This DVD recorder can automatically create title and chapter menus as recording operations are started and stopped.
Title and chapter menus are created using the following.
● Chapter thumbnails
: The frames at which chapter marks have been inserted are used as thumbnails.
● Title thumbnails
: The frames at the start of individual recordings are used as thumbnails. As a result, a title's thumbnail is
the same as that of its first chapter.
● Display style
: Menus are created using the style set using the DVD MENU screen. (Styles determine factors such as
thumbnail positioning and background)
After chapter menus have been created in this way, it will be possible to modify thumbnails and styles, or to insert new names and
comments.
In specific terms, the editing of chapter menus is carried out using the THUMBNAIL EDIT screen that appears when recording of a
title is ended.
