To play a clip list, insert a disc into the unit, load the clip 
list that you want to play, and press the PLAY button. 
Clips are played according to the data in the clip list.

The following table lists the steps in the creation and 
editing of clip lists with the scene selection function. To 
create a clip list, you always need to carry out the steps 
inside the heavy lines. Other steps can be carried out as 
required.

To reedit clip lists on the disc 
Use the Load Clip List command to load the clip lists you 
want to edit, and perform the steps 2 to 4 in the previous 
section.

You can also delete clip lists on the disc. 

For details, see “Managing clip lists” (page 70).

Clip lists can be created and edited even when the write 
inhibit tab of the disc is set to recording disabled, and when 
REC INH on the HOME page of the function menu is set 
to ON. However, if you need to save the clip list, set write 
inhibit tab and REC INH to enable recording before you 
create or edit the clip list.

You can add sub clips to clip lists from with the clip 
thumbnail screen or the clip list thumbnail screen. 
However, you must use the clip list thumbnail screen to 
edit clip lists.

Adding sub clips from the clip thumbnail screen
The following procedure explains operations in the clip 
thumbnail screen. You can proceed in the same way in the 
expand thumbnail screen and the chapter thumbnail 
screen. Expanded blocks are added as sub clips in the 
expand thumbnail screen, and chapters are added as sub 
clips in the chapter thumbnail screen.

See page 58 for more information about thumbnail screen 
operations.

In the clip thumbnail screen, select the clip that you 
want to add as a sub clip (multiple selections possible).

Display the Thumbnail Menu.

Select Add Sub Clips, and then press the PUSH 
SET(S.SEL) knob.

The Add Sub Clip screen appears.
The clip(s) selected in step 1 appear in the upper part 
of this screen, and the clip list appears in the lower 
Scene Selection window. The I cursor in the Scene 
Selection window indicates the location where the 
currently selected sub clip(s) will be inserted.

To display the total duration after addition of the 
selected clip
Press the SHIFT button.

In the Scene Selection window, move the I cursor to 
the location where you want to insert the clip. (The 
existing thumbnails arrange themselves to the left and 
right of the I cursor.)

Press the PUSH SET(S.SEL) knob.

The selected clip is inserted as a sub clip and a “+” 
mark appears on the thumbnail in the Scene Selection 
window.
