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 Dubbing)” on page 79), or multiple titles all at once (Multiple Title Dubbing – see “Dubbing multiple titles (Dub Selected Titles)” on page 80).

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

If you want to record from a digital video camera connected to the DV IN jack, see “DV Dubbing” on page 82. To record from equipment connected to the LINE IN jacks, see “Recording from connected equipment without a timer” on page 57.

Before you start…

•You cannot record both the main and sub sound on DVD+RWs, DVD-RWs (Video mode), DVD+Rs, or DVD-Rs (Video mode). For bilingual programmes, set “Bilingual Recording” of “DVD Rec. Settings” to either “Main” (default) or “Sub” in the “Recording” setup (page 97).

•The chapter marks in the dubbing source are not retained in the dubbed title. When “Auto Chapter” is set to “On” in the “Recording” setup, chapter marks are automatically inserted at approximately 6 minute intervals.

zHints

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

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

bNotes

•You cannot make a recording while dubbing.

•To play a dubbed disc on other DVD equipment, finalise the disc (page 33).

•You cannot dub from DVD VIDEOs to the HDD.

•Thumbnails that you have set for the originally recorded title (page 27) will not be retained in the dubbed title.

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

About “Dub Mode”

With this recorder, the recording mode for dubbing is displayed as “Dub Mode.” Three dubbing methods are available: High-speed Dubbing, Original 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 / -RVR /-RVideo

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 the steps of “Dubbing a single title (Title Dubbing)” (page 79) or “Dubbing multiple titles (Dub Selected Titles)” (page 80).

When dubbing multiple titles, you can select “Fast” if there are one or more titles that can be dubbed at high speed in the selected titles. However, titles that cannot be dubbed at high speed are dubbed in the Original Dubbing mode.

The minimum required time is as follows (approximate).
