Dubbing (HDD y DVD)

Before Dubbing

In this section, “dubbing” refers to “copying a recorded title on the internal hard disk drive (HDD) to another disc, or vice versa.” You can dub a playing title using the HDD/ DVD DUB button (see “HDD/DVD Dubbing” on page 83) or you can select to dub multiple titles all at once (see “Dubbing Using Dubbing List” on page 83). You can also dub an entire DVD disc to make a backup copy (see “Making a Backup Disc (DVD Backup)” on page 86).

Before you start, read the following precautions, which are common to all dubbing methods.

Before you start…

•You cannot record both the main and sub sound on the HDD (when “HDD Recording Format” is set to “Video Mode On” in the “Recording” setup), DVD+RWs, DVD-RWs (Video mode), DVD+Rs, or DVD-Rs (Video mode). For bilingual programmes, set “Bilingual Recording” to either “A/L” (default) or “B/ R” in the “Audio In” setup (page 124). About HDD Recording format, see

page 128.

•A title name in the dubbing source is dubbed. However, only up to 40 characters of a title name are dubbed when dubbing from the HDD to a DVD+RW/DVD-RW (Video mode)/DVD+R/DVD-R (Video mode).

•The chapter marks in the dubbing source are dubbed. The position of chapter marks may be slightly changed from the original. However, the chapter marks in the dubbing source are not retained in the dubbed title when dubbing to a DVD-RW/DVD-R (Video mode), DVD+RW, or DVD+R at normal speed. The chapter marks are automatically inserted according to the “Auto Chapter (Video)” and “Auto Chapter (DVD+R/+RW)” settings in the “Recording” setup (page 127).

•The “Set Thumbnail” setting in the dubbing source is dubbed as a thumbnail picture marker (except when dubbing from a DVD+RW/DVD-RW (Video mode)/ DVD+R/DVD-R (Video mode)). The position of thumbnail picture markers may be slightly changed from the original.

zHint

When you dub a Playlist title, it is recorded as an Original title.
