Copying a videocassette tape to a DVD disc (DVD+R or DVD+RW)

When you press the COPY button on the front of the DVD recorder or access Copy Tape through the Disc menu, the Copy screen appears. Here you can choose the destination (Tape to Disc), the quality, and the copy mode.The DVD recorder will record for the amount of time you specified for the Copy Mode setting (A-B edits only or current point) and then stops automatically.

1.Put a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc into the disc tray (if it’s a blank disc, you’ll need to wait for the DVD/ VCR to initialize the disc).

2.Put the videocassette tape you want to transfer to disc into the VCR deck and make sure it’s cued up or rewound to the beginning.

3.Press the COPY button on the front of the DVD/VCR (the Copy screen appears).

4.Use the arrows buttons and OK to change the desired settings.When finished, highlight Start Copy and press OK (the DVD/VCR starts recording the tape to the disc automatically).

If you don’t want to record the tape onto disc, press the down arrow button to highlight Cancel and press OK.

To watch TV while the tape is copying to disc, you’ll need to change channels on the TV because the DVD/VCR is conducting two functions—playback of the tape and recording onto a DVD.

Note: You can’t copy pre-recorded videocassette tapes that are encrypted with Macrovision software.
