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” is set to “On” in the “Recording” setup, this title is divided into chapters. When dubbing to the HDD or a DVD-RW/DVD-R (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.

Follow steps 1 to 6 of “Preparing for DV dubbing” on page 82, and press ONE- TOUCH DUB on the recorder.

The recorder rewinds the tape and then starts recording the tape contents.

When the recording is finished, the recorder rewinds the tape in the digital video camera.

To stop during recording

Press x REC STOP.

Note that it may take a few seconds for the recorder to stop recording.

zHints

•If you set “Finalise Disc” of “One Touch Dubbing” to “Auto” in the “DVD” setup (page 99), the recorded disc (except DVD-RW (VR mode)) will automatically be finalised after recording is finished.

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

bNotes

•When a blank space between the recordings on the tape continues for more than five minutes, One Touch Dubbing ends automatically.

•The recorder records a blank for five minutes before it stops dubbing. To stop the blank recording, press x REC STOP.
