Copying and back-up

Introduction

Use the copying features of this recorder to:

Back up important recordings stored on the HDD to a DVD

Make a DVD copy of a recording on the HDD to play in another player.

Transfer video from a DVD to the HDD for editing.

Transfer edited video from the HDD to DVD.

The simplest method of copying is to use the One Touch Copy feature. Using this you can simply copy the title that’s currently playing from HDD to DVD, or the other way around.

For more complicated copying tasks you can make a Copy List which specifies precisely what needs to be copied. A Copy List is similar to a VR mode Play List in many ways, and you’ll find that the Copy List commands are similar to those available for editing a Play List.

A message showing that copying has finished is displayed after copying. If the recorder is inactive and no button is pressed (remote or front panel) then the recorder will automatically go into standby after 20 minutes.

When copying from HDD to DVD, the speed of copying depends on the recording mode and the kind of DVD disc you’re using. The table at the bottom of the page shows the minimum copying time for one hour of material.

Note

Not all discs are compatible with high-speed copying. Check with the disc manufacturer for compatibility.

There may be cases where even 2x/4x/8x compatible discs do not copy at full speed.

High-speed copying is not possible when using discs initialized on another recorder.

The following manufacture’s 8x discs are suitable for us with this recorder.
