NOTES:

 

 

 

 

● If you set the dubbing direction incorrectly, you could erase

 

 

 

an important recording that you wanted to copy. We

 

 

 

 

recommend conducting a test with unimportant cassettes first.

 

 

 

● On the cassette that you are playing (i.e., recording from) we

 

 

 

recommend either setting the erase protection switch to

 

 

 

 

"SAVE" (if the cassette is a Mini DV cassette), or breaking off

 

 

 

the record safety tab (if the cassette is a VHS cassette).

 

 

 

 

● If you start dubbing a tape from a tape with a copy protection

 

 

 

signal, the tapes will be automatically ejected from the DV

 

 

 

and VHS deck, and the VCR will turn off.

 

 

 

 

● To cancel the dubbing mode, press CH +/– so that the

 

 

 

 

dubbing direction indicator (DV → or ← S-VHS) goes off.
