Play List

What is “Play List”?

You can create a play list on this DVD Palmcorder by gathering your favorites from the recorded scenes.

Since the play list is not created by copying data, you will consume little of the disc capacity by making a play list. On the other hand, deleting scenes on play list will not increase the remaining disc capacity for recording.

Example:

Program 1 (recorded on September 27, 2003) Program 2 (recorded on September 30, 2003)

Play list 1 created

Play lists of up to No. 99 can be created and 999 scenes can be included in play lists of No. 1 to No. 99.
