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 select to dub one title at a time (Title Dubbing – see “Dubbing a single title (Title Dub)” on page 81), or multiple titles all at once (Multiple Title Dubbing – see “Dubbing multiple titles (Dub Selected Titles)” on page 82).

To record from equipment connected to the LINE IN jacks, see “Recording from connected equipment without a timer” on page 59.

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

Before you start…

•Select the disc type according to your needs (page 8). This recorder can record on various discs.

•You cannot record both the main and sub sound on a DVD+RW, DVD-RW (Video mode), DVD+R, or DVD-R. For bilingual programmes, set “DVD Bilingual Rec.” to either “Main” (default) or “Sub” in “Options” setup

(page 103).

•Timer recording and Synchro-Recording do not start during dubbing. Before you start, check the Timer List menu to see if there is any timer recording due to start during dubbing.

•When “Auto Chapter” of “Features” setup is set to “On,” chapter marks are automatically inserted at approximately 6-minute intervals while dubbing from the HDD to a DVD, or when the recorder detects picture and sound changes while dubbing from a DVD to the HDD. The chapter marks in the dubbing source are not retained in the dubbed title.

•For titles with mixed picture sizes (16:9 or 4:3):

–When dubbed from the HDD to DVD-RW (Video mode) or DVD-R, the picture size is determined by the setting in “DVD Rec. Picture Size” (page 54).

–When dubbed from HDD to DVD+RW or DVD+R, the picture size is always 4:3.

–When dubbed from HDD to DVD-RW (VR mode), the originally recorded picture sizes are retained.

zHints

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

•When dubbed from a DVD to the HDD, the picture sizes and the sound types originally recorded are retained.

Notes

•To play a dubbed disc on other DVD equipment, finalize the disc (page 46).

•The recorder may not function as described depending on the disc status. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

•You cannot dub from DVD VIDEOs to the HDD.

•Thumbnails that you have set for the originally recorded title (page 41) will not be retained in the dubbed title.

About “Dub Mode”

With this recorder, the recording mode for dubbing is displayed as “Dub Mode.” Two dubbing methods are available: High-speed Dubbing and Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing. Read the following and select according to the required time, disc space, and picture quality.

Dubbing at high-speed (High-speed Dubbing)

HDD , +RW / -RWVR / -RWVideo / +R /

-R

Allows you to dub what you have stored in the HDD to a high-speed DVD (8x-speed DVD+RWs/6x-speed DVD-RWs/16x-speed DVD+Rs/16x-speed DVD-Rs, or slower versions of each disc type), without changing the recording mode.

Set “Dub Mode” to “Fast” in “Title Dub” or “Dub Selected Titles” display (page 81). You cannot select “Fast” when titles that cannot be dubbed at high speed are selected (such as the titles displayed in “Notes” below). The minimum required time is as follows (approximate).
