File copy function

The file copy function copies an audio file recorded on a DVD-RAM disk (or hard disk partition) to another DVD-RAM disk (or hard disk partition).

To execute the file copy function, use the “File copy” menu item in the “DISK UTILITY” menu of the MENU mode.

<Note>: You can make file copy to a DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R or CD-RW disk, as well as a DVD-RAM disk. However note that you cannot use DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs for normal recording. You can use them only when you make audio file copy from a hard disk partition. Also note that you cannot make file copy to a recorded DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW disk because file copy to a disk is made in disc-at-once mode.

<Note>: When you select a hard disk partition as the copy destination, you cannot make file copy from a DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW disk, though you can do it from a DVD-RAM disk.

Selecting source drive

Before executing file copy, select the desired copy source as the current drive (DVD multi drive or a hard disk partition).

<Important note>: When you execute file copy to a DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW disk, you must select a hard disk partition as the current drive before you set a DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW disk.
