[Note]

≥The contents of dubbing lists will remain in the memory even after the power has been turned off. In the case of the DVD drive, the contents are erased if [<] is pressed. However, note that if pro- grams and play lists are erased, all the dubbing lists will also be erased.

≥It is not possible to activate timer recording during dubbing.

≥Even if you select a higher picture quality recording mode than that of the dubbing source, it will not be possible to obtain picture quality better than the dubbing source (although selection may be effective in combating loss in picture quality during recording).

≥When dubbing a program, playlists made from that program will not be dubbed.

≥The program settings (protect, etc) are reproduced in the dubbed material. (If you select a recording mode other than “High Speed”, markers are not reproduced).

§Can be dubbed to HDD but cannot be played back.

≥If a program with recording limitations is dubbed from HDD to DVD-RAM, the program is transferred (i.e. it is moved to another storage media). The original program (including play list scenes

made from that program) are erased. When a program with

recording limitations enters a dubbing list, “ ” (Transfer) is displayed and a message screen is displayed when dubbing.

≥Programs with recording limitations and play lists cannot be regis- tered on the same dubbing list.

≥Play lists made from programs with recording limitations cannot be dubbed.

One Touch Dubbing (HDD ➜ DVD)

Programs and play lists currently being played back on HDD can simultaneously be dubbed to DVD-RAM or DVD-R.

Preparation

Press [HDD] to select HDD drive.

1 During play or while paused

[Note]

≥This function works while either the program list or play list screen is being displayed.

≥Usually, dubbing takes place using “High Speed” mode for DVD- RAM or the recording mode of the dubbing source for DVD-R. However, with the following exceptions the recording mode is changed automatically to “FR”:

—when the program will not fit onto the disc if recorded using the recording mode of the dubbing source.

—when dubbing play lists.
