linda666,
It seems there may be a little confusion between chapters and recordings. When recording to the DVD, each recording will show up on the browser as a new thumbnail. The recording can, and probably will, have chapters in it (this is the setting for auto chapter in the setup menu). The chapters in a recording do not show up on the menu. This is the difference between a recorded DVD and one you would buy in the store. There is no way to have 2 seperate menus for recordings and chapters on the disc.
With that said. If you want multiple recordings on the disc, all you have to do is record them. Each new recording will show up on the browser as an thunbmail. Just make sure all of what you want to record will fit. If you are doing 12 1/2hr shows, you would use the 6-hour mode and make sure each recording does not go over 1/2hr, or the disc will fail.
When you record, chapter marks will be automatically inserted into the recording at the interval set in the setup menu (5min, 10min, 15min). Even though they do not show up on a menu anywhere, when playing back the recording, you can use the chapter forward and chapter back keys on the remote to to get to them.
As far as chapter editing, you would go to the browser, highlight the recording you want to edit and then press the edit key on the remote. In the edit screen, there will be options for adding, deleting and hiding chapter marks. This is where you can define the commercial breaks with chapter marks and then hide them.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. I hope this has helped.
