Recording with the Front Panel
BD-X200 recording operations can be carried out in two different ways — namely, using the buttons provided on the front panel and
using the on-screen REC CONTROL panel. In the latter case, furthermore, recording operations can be performed using a keyboard
and mouse. The following section, however, will provide a description of recording using the front panel buttons.
On a DVD, the section of video recorded between the start of recording and pressing of the STOP button to end recording is stored
as a single title, and a unique title number is assigned to each of these sections. A single disc can contain up to 99 different titles.
In addition, each title can be separated into a number of different chapters by inserting chapter marks at the appropriate points, and
each title can contain up to 99 chapters.
Information relating to titles and chapters is stored on a disc in the form of title and chapter menus. When the disc is being played,
therefore, the title and chapter menus can be used to access specific sections of stored video and audio.
