Editing Creating your own title You can edit recorded contents and create your own library. Note on deleting unnecessary scenes It is not recommended that you delete many chapters from titles recorded on the HDD to remove unnecessary parts of the titles and copy those contents on a DVD-RAM disc. The reason is that discontinuous space inside the HDD expands and recorded contents are stored in gaps between used locations. Operating this repeatedly makes a recording area inside the HDD broken down into small and complicated spaces. (It is called fragmentation.) Even normal operations may get slow. Moreover, available space may not be restored by deleting or the HDD may have protection disabling playback or recording. When you want to delete unnecessary parts from titles, collect necessary parts of chapters to make a playlist. Then copy the playlist and delete the original title or the playlist. For example, make a playlist and copy it to a DVDRAM. Then delete original titles on the HDD. It can save time and effort and retain continuity in the HDD space. However, when moving a copy once program from the HDD to a DVD-RAM disc, delete unnecessary chapters from original titles. For details ( page 98). Running "All HDD titles delete" regularly prevents fragmentation from occurring. In addition, if you select and run "HDD format", all data on the HDD will be erased. Copy TV programs you want to save recorded on the HDD from the HDD to a DVD-RAM or DVD-R/RW disc. When it comes to library data, back it up to a DVD-RAM disc before initializing the HDD. Then rewrite the data on the HDD.
