Dubbing (HDD y DVD) Before Dubbing HDD +RW -RWVR -RWVideo +R -R In this section, "dubbing" refers to "copying a recorded title on the internal hard disk drive (HDD) to another disc, or vice versa." You can select to dub one title at a time (Title Dubbing - see "Dubbing a Single Title (Title Dub)" on page 74), or multiple titles all at once (Multiple Title Dubbing - see "Dubbing Multiple Titles (Dub Selected Titles)" on page 75). Before you start, read the following precautions, which are common to both dubbing methods. z Hint This section deals with dubbing to and from the internal HDD. If you want to record from a digital video camera connected to the DV IN jack, see "DV/Digital8 Dubbing (DV t HDD/DVD)" on page 77. To record from equipment connected to the LINE IN jacks, see "Recording From a VCR or Similar Device" (page 53). Before you start... • Select the disc type according to your needs (page 8). This recorder can record on various discs. • Timer recordings do not start during dubbing. Before you start, check the SCHEDULE list (page 49) to see if there is a timer recording due to start during dubbing. • Chapter marks in the original recording do not remain in the dubbed title. Chapter marks are entered according to the "Auto Chapter" setting in Features Setup (page 91). • For a title whose aspect ratio (16:9 or 4:3) is mixed: - When dubbed from the HDD to DVD-RW (Video mode) or DVD-R, the picture size is determined by the setting in "DVD Rec. Picture Size" (page 51). - When dubbed from HDD to DVD+RW or DVD+R, the picture size is always 4:3. - When dubbed from HDD to DVD-RW (VR mode), the originally recorded picture size is retained. z Hints • You can dub a Playlist title on a DVD-RW (VR mode) as an original title on the HDD. • When dubbed from a DVD to the HDD, the picture size and the sound types originally recorded are retained. Notes • The recorder may not function as described depending on the disc status. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen. • When a message appears and indicates that the control information is full, erase unnecessary titles (page 65). • You cannot dub from DVD VIDEOs or a DVD recorded on other DVD equipment to the HDD. • Thumbnails that you have set for the originally recorded title (page 38) will not be retained in the dubbed title. About "Dub Mode" With this recorder, the recording mode for dubbing is displayed as "Dub Mode." Two dubbing methods are available: High-speed Dubbing and Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing. Read the following and select according to the required time, disc space, and picture quality. Dubbing at high-speed (High-speed Dubbing) HDD , +RW / -RWVR / -RWVideo / +R / -R Allows you to dub what you have stored in the HDD to a high-speed DVD (4x-speed DVD+RWs/2x-speed DVD-RWs/8x-speed DVD+Rs/8x-speed DVD-Rs, or slower versions of each disc type), without changing the recording mode. Dubbing speed is increased when the recording mode of the original title is of a longer recording mode (such as SLP). Select "Fast" when selecting the "Dub Mode" in "Dubbing a Single Title (Title Dub)" (page 74) or "Dubbing Multiple Titles (Dub Selected Titles)" (page 75). The minimum required time is as follows (approximate). Example: When a 120 minute-title is dubbed to a high-speed DVD-R in LP mode, dubbing becomes 12 times faster, and takes a minimum of 10 minutes. (120 minutes ÷ 12 = 10 minutes). 72
