§1 To high speed copy titles (or playlists created from those titles), set “Rec for High Speed Copy” to “On” before recording to the HDD (➡ 24).

However in the following cases, copying to DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R, +R DL and +RW using the high speed mode does not work. ≥Playlists created from titles using a variety of recording modes

≥Playlists created from multiple titles using FR recording mode

≥Playlists mixed with a variety of audio types (Dolby Digital and LPCM, etc.) ≥Titles that contain many deleted segments

≥MPEG2 moving picture titles copied to the HDD from an SD card

≥[+R] [+R]DL] [+RW] Titles recorded in “EP” mode and “FR (recordings 5 hours or longer)” mode. (Displayed )

§2 If you select a recording mode with better picture quality than the original, the picture quality does not improve. (However it does prevent

against degradation of picture quality.) [+R]DL] You cannot copy in EP mode.

§3 You cannot select “Top Menu” or “Auto-Play Select”.

If you want to set auto-play select or the background colour, select “Top Menu” or “Auto-Play Select” in “DVD Management” before copying (➡ 57). §4 You cannot copy playlists with a play time more than 8 hours.

When you copy a playlist, it will become a title in the destination drive. §5 [RAM] [-R]DL] [+R]DL] [+RW] : One title becomes one chapter.

[-R][-RW‹V›] [+R] : Chapters are created automatically ([-R][-RW‹V›]about 5-minutes [+R] about 8-minutes) when finalizing after copying the disc. §6 Thumbnails return to the default position.

§7 When copying playlists, the thumbnails may not reflect changes made to them. §8 Possible only with titles on the HDD

(However it is not possible when copying with automatic finalization or when copying MPEG2 moving pictures from an SD card.) –You cannot perform chasing play or edit, etc. while copying.

–You cannot play a playlist while copying titles with “One time only recording” restriction (➡ 8). –Still pictures cannot be played.

≥The above values indicate the quickest possible times and speeds to high speed copy a one hour title recorded on the HDD to a high speed recording compatible disc. Depending on what part of the disc is being written to, the features of the disc, etc., the times and speeds will vary.

§1 In this unit, copying with a 6X Speed DVD-RW disc will be performed at the same speed as with a 4X Speed DVD-RW disc. §2 In this unit, copying with a 16X Speed +R disc will be performed at the same speed as with a 8X Speed +R disc.

[Note]

≥When recording or playing while copying, the unit may not use the maximum recording speed. ≥Depending on the condition of the disc, the unit may not copy using the maximum speed.

Regarding copying to DVD-R DL (single-sided, Dual Layer) and +R DL (single-sided, Double Layer)

When not copying in high speed mode, titles are temporarily copied at normal speed to the HDD and then copied at high speed to DVD-R DL and +R DL. The titles that were temporarily copied to the HDD are then deleted.

You cannot copy to DVD-R DL and +R DL in the following cases. –When there is not enough free space on the HDD. (When

copying to a new blank disc, if you intend to fill a new disc when copying to it, the equivalent of up to 4 hours of free space in SP mode is needed on the HDD.)

–When the number of titles recorded to the HDD and the number of titles to be copied to the DVD-R DL and +R DL is greater than 500 in total.

When playing a title recorded on both layers, video and audio may momentarily cut out when the unit is switching layers. (➡ 5)

Regarding copying of digital broadcasts that allow “One time only recording”

You can copy a recorded title to a CPRM (➡ 76) compatible DVD- RAM, however, the title is deleted from the HDD.

≥Titles or playlists cannot be copied from DVD-RAM to the HDD. ≥Titles will not be copied if they are protected (➡ 41).

≥You cannot copy playlists created from “One time only recording” titles. ≥Titles with recording limitations and playlists cannot be registered

on the same copying list.
