Setting the title prefix
You can assign title prefixes by choosing from a prefix list
stored in internal memory, or by entering the prefix
directly.
However, to choose from a prefix list, you must create the
list beforehand on a computer and transfer it to the unit's
internal memory with a "Memory Stick".
Setting the initial value of the serial number
The initial value of the serial number can be set to 00001
(the default) or to any other number. The number is
automatically incremented by 1 each time you record a
clip. When it reaches 99999, it returns to 00001 for the
next clip.
Note
Duplicate clip titles can be generated depending on the
serial number setting, for example if you reset the serial
number to the original value after recording several clips.
Care should be taken when setting the serial number.
To assign user-defined titles automatically
when clips are recorded
On the CLIP TITLE page of the OPERATION menu, set
TITLE to ENABL.
For details on menu operations, see "Basic Menu
Operations" on page 132.

Clip titles will be generated automatically if you record in
this state.

combination of the prefix in the PREFIX field and the
serial number in the NUMERIC field.
