Notes on copying using One Touch Copy

Copying to DVD

•Title name, chapter markers, as well as thumbnail picture markers for the Disc Navigator, are also copied. However, if you copy to a Video mode DVD-R/ -RW or DVD+R/+RW, only the first 40 characters of a name are copied.

•The chapter markers in the copy may not be in exactly the same positions as the original when recording on to a Video mode DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW.

•You can’t use the One Touch Copy function to copy a title if any part of the title is copy-once protected.

•A title that contains mixed aspect ratios can’t be copied to a Video mode disc. Use a VR mode DVD-R/ -RW or DVD-RAM disc for this type of material.

•Low resolution (SEP through LP modes1) widescreen material can’t be copied to a Video mode disc. Use a VR mode

DVD-R/-RW or DVD-RAM disc for this type of material.

•When HDD Recording Format is set to Video Mode Off, titles recorded in LP/MN9 to MN15 modes cannot be high-speed copied to a Video mode disc. Please use a VR mode DVD-R/-RW or DVD-RAM.

•Recordings of bilingual broadcasts cannot be high- speed copied to a Video mode DVD. Please use a VR mode DVD-R/-RW or DVD-RAM.

•Titles over 8 hours cannot be copied to single-layer DVD+R/+RW discs using One Touch Copy. Use DVD+R DL discs for titles over 8 hours.

•Titles recorded in MN1 to MN6, SEP, SLP or EP mode cannot be copied to DVD+R/+RW using One Touch Copy.

At its simplest, a Copy List is just a list of HDD or DVD titles that you want to copy. When copying HDD titles to DVD, you can, however, edit the titles in your copy list, erasing chapters you don’t need, or re-naming titles, for example. Edits you make to titles in the Copy List do not affect the actual video content; only the ‘virtual’ content of the Copy List. So you can freely erase and modify anything in your Copy List safe in the knowledge that the actual content is not being altered.

Copying from HDD to DVD

Important

•The recorder can only store one Copy List at a time.

•The Copy List is erased if the Input Line System setting is changed (see Additional information about the TV system settings on page 134).

•Resetting the recorder to its factory settings (see Resetting the recorder on page 148) will erase the Copy List.

1Load a recordable DVD.

•It is possible to complete the following steps without having a recordable DVD loaded (or having an uninitialized DVD loaded); however, the steps are slightly different.

•If you want to use a DVD-RW (VR mode) disc for the copy, make sure it is initialized before you start.

Note

1 In manual recording mode these equate to MN1 to MN15 (Video Mode Off) or MN1 to MN8 (Video Mode On).
