Copying and backup
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 way to copy a title is to use the One Touch Copy feature. This copies the currently playing HDD title to DVD, or DVD title to the HDD. See One Touch Copy below for detailed instructions.
For more sophisticated copying tasks you can build a Copy List of titles to copy, and edit titles so that you only copy the bits you want. See Using Copy Lists on page 115 for detailed instructions.

The One Touch Copy feature copies the currently playing or selected (in the Disc Navigator) HDD title to DVD, or DVD title to HDD. The whole title is copied, regardless of where in the title you start the copy.
HDD to DVD copies are made in the same recording mode. When copying DVD to HDD, the copy is made in whatever recording mode is currently set.
Make sure that a recordable DVD disc is loaded when trying to copy from the HDD.
