About This Manual

DV Edit

Only one i.LINK cable is required to transfer contents from a

digital video camera to the DVD recorder. Since the recorder

controls the digital video camera, dubbing and editing are easy

to perform.

One Touch Dubbing function

(page 78)

One press on the ONE TOUCH DUB button is enough to

complete the procedure. The recorder controls the digital video

camera from start to finish — from playing the DV/Digital8

format tape to stop and rewind. The entire tape contents are

dubbed to a DVD in the process.

Program Edit

(page 79)

This function allows you to select scenes on a DV/Digital8

format tape and save them on recordable DVDs, including non-

rewritable DVD-Rs. The recorder controls the digital video

camera to record the contents of a DV/Digital8 format tape to the

disc as programmed. The recorder will remember which scenes

you selected and saves this information as a program. You can

call up a program at any time and make additional copies of the

program to DVDs.

Advanced Program Edit

(page 81)

This function takes advantage of a DVD’s random access

capabilities to enable fast and flexible editing.

The recorder copies the entire contents of a DV/Digital8 format

tape to a DVD-RW in VR mode, whereupon the contents are

automatically divided into chapters. The chapters are displayed

as scenes in a scene list where you can instantly delete or

rearrange the scenes at will. The recorder remembers which

scenes you selected, and saves this information as a program.

You can call up a program at any time and make additional

copies of the program to a DVD.

Auto Scene Chaptering (DVD-RW in VR mode

only)

(page 78, 79, 81)

While copying a DV/Digital8 format tape to a DVD-RW, the

recorder automatically inserts chapter marks at each point where

you started recording on your digital video camera. This enables

you to quickly find the scenes you want during playback and

editing.
