*1 The values in the above table are for reference only. Actual times for dubbing also require time for creating 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.

bNotes

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 in mixed picture size (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 playing a dubbed DVD+R DL disc, the video and audio 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 74 or “Dubbing multiple

 

titles (Dub Selected Titles)” on page 75.

 

 

 

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.
