zHints

•You can turn off the recorder during dubbing. The recorder completes dubbing even after being turned off.

•You can adjust the settings for the recording picture before recording. See “Adjusting the recording picture quality and size” on page 53.

bNotes

•You cannot connect more than one piece of digital video equipment to the recorder.

•You cannot control the recorder using another device or another recorder of the same model.

•You cannot record date, time, or the contents of the cassette memory onto the disc.

•If you record from a DV/Digital8 format tape that is recorded in multiple sound tracks, such as a tape with multiple sampling frequencies (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 32 kHz), no sound or an unnatural sound will be output when playing back the sampling frequency switch point on the disc.

•In order to use this recorder’s “Auto Chapter” setting (pages 85, 86), be sure to correctly set the clock on your digital video camera before shooting.

•The recorded picture may be momentarily affected if the picture size of the source image changes, or if there is nothing recorded on the tape.

You can record the entire contents of a DV/ Digital8 format tape onto a disc with a single press of the ONE-TOUCH DUB button on the recorder. The recorder controls the digital video camera for the whole process, and completes the recording.

How chapters are created

The contents dubbed to the HDD or DVD become

 

a single title. When “Auto Chapter” of “Features”

 

setup is set to “On” (page 96), this title is divided

 

into chapters. When dubbing to the HDD or a

 

DVD-RW (VR mode), each shooting session on

 

the tape becomes a chapter on the disc. For other

 

discs, the recorder divides the title into chapters at

 

approximately 6 minute intervals.

DV/Digital8

Follow steps 1 to 5 of “Preparing for DV/

 

Digital8 dubbing” on page 84, and press ONE-

 

TOUCH DUB on the recorder.

Dubbing

The recorder rewinds the tape and then starts

Note that it may take a few seconds for the

zHints

•You can play back a previously recorded title on the HDD while One Touch Dubbing is in progress.

bNotes

•The recorder records a blank for five minutes before it

stops dubbing. To stop the blank recording, press x REC STOP.
