*1 The values in the above table are for reference only. Actual times for dubbing also require time for creating the disc’s control information and other data.

*2 This is the maximum recording speed of this recorder. The value may vary depending on the disc condition. Also, this recorder may be unable to record at the maximum speed for discs that support recording speeds exceeding the maximum value.

*3 The maximum drive speed of this recorder is 6x when using 6x-speed or faster DVD+RWs.

*4 The maximum drive speed of this recorder is 8x when using 8x-speed or faster DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs.

*5 High-speed dubbing is not available when dubbing titles recorded in SLP and SEP mode to DVD+RWs and DVD+Rs.

Notes

•High-speed Dubbing is not available for the following titles:

–Titles recorded in HQ+.

–Titles that contain both main and sub sounds (except DVD-RWs (VR mode)).

–Titles recorded with mixed picture sizes (4:3 and 16:9 etc.), (except DVD-RWs (VR mode)).

•When dubbed to a DVD-RW (Video mode)/ DVD+RW/DVD+R/DVD-R, remnants of edited titles may remain on the disc. If you edit a title, use the Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing method. This will smooth out the pauses between the scenes.

•When dubbing to a DVD+R DL disc, the video may be momentarily interrupted at the point where the layers switch.

Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing

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

-R

Allows you to dub from the HDD to a DVD or vice versa, in a dubbing mode that differs from the original recordings. For example, when you dub an HQ title (data size is large) in SP mode, you can reduce the data size, saving more titles using less space.

Select a mode different from the original recording in “Dub Mode” in the steps of “Dubbing a single title (Title Dub)” on page 81 or “Dubbing multiple titles (Dub Selected Titles)” on page 82. When a title recorded to HDD in HQ or HQ+ mode is converted to another mode, the recorder automatically assigns an appropriate bit rate, thus retaining the original picture quality as much as possible.

Note

The picture quality will not improve even if a title is converted to a recording mode of better picture quality.

Dubbing restriction

You cannot dub movies and other DVD VIDEOs to the HDD. Also, when dubbing from a DVD to the HDD, a grey, blank screen will be recorded for scenes that contain a copy protection signal.

Titles containing “Copy-Once” copy protection signals can be moved only from HDD to DVD- RW (VR mode)* (after the title is moved, the original title in the HDD is erased). The “Move” function is performed using the same procedure as dubbing (page 81). Titles containing “Copy- Once” copy protection signals are indicated with .
