You can easily create and record personalized titles on your videos with the camcorder's built-
in titler.  Once a title is stored, it can be displayed and recorded at anytime. A title contains two 
lines of up to 16 characters per line. 
The titler contains 47 different characters for creating titles. 
NOTE:
 A cassette cannot be loaded or ejected when creating a title.
