Duplication (generating a work tape with the same time code)
Dubbing Audio and Duplication 5 Chapter
If you copy a source tape using the DUP (duplicate) button on this unit, you can copy the time codes recorded on the source tape as they are. You can easily make a work tape having the same time codes as the source tape.
The duplicate function on this unit works only when using a source tape recorded in DVCAM format and making DV connections.
This unit functions as a recorder. The duplicate function on this unit works only when you duplicate a tape in the DVCAM format. Make sure to change the DVCAM/DV select switch to DVCAM before duplicating a tape.
To set the duplicate mode
This unit has three duplicate modes.
Set DUPLICATE on the VTR SET menu to select a duplicate mode as follows.
AUTOq

AUTOq(AUTO TAPE COPY): The player and the recorder automatically rewind the tape to the beginning to start duplicating. The cassette memory is not duplicated.
MANUALq(MANUAL TAPE COPY): The tape is duplicated from any location. The cassette memory is not duplicated.
Duplicating a tape
The duplicate procedure differs depending on the duplicate mode.

Notes
•You cannot pause during a duplicate process.
•The duplication starts after the i.LINK communication is established so that the first part of the source tape is dropped on the copied tape.
•Set auto repeat to OFF when the player has an auto repeat function and set auto rewind to ON when the player has an auto rewind function.
•Set still timer to the longest time possible to ensure enough time for rewinding the tape to the beginning when the player has a still timer function.
•If you have selected AUTOq
duplicate mode, the cassette memory will be duplicated after the tape has been duplicated. While the cassette memory is being duplicated, an indicator showing the progress of the duplication appears on the LCD monitor and on the VIDEO OUT1 output. Duplicating the cassette memory takes up to a few minutes depending on the amount of data. Duplication of the cassette memory will be cancelled and the duplicate operation will be completed without duplicating the cassette memory in the following cases:
–You press the STOP button while duplicating.
–You turn off the power to this unit or player.
–You remove the tape.
–You disconnect the DV cable.
If the duplication of the cassette memory stops for some reason, the cassette memory of this unit will be completely erased.
•If you operate the player while duplicating and the PLAYER UNCONTROLLABLE warning message appears and duplication is stopped, press the STOP button on this unit, then repeat the procedure from step 2.
