Before dubbing

You can dub (copy or move) contents recorded in the HDD or DVD-RAM/R/RW, between HDD and DVD-RAM drive or within the same drives.

The following contains information and notes about dubbing. Read carefully before dubbing.

Introduction

Dubbing operations

This recorder has the following dubbing functions.

High speed dubbing

You can copy recorded contents without changing the picture and sound quality.

“High speed” means the dubbing time is shorter than the actual time of the content.

Use this function on the purposes such as the followings:

–when you copy a whole title to a DVD-RAM/R/ RW disc.

–when you convert a Playlist into an Original title (produce an Original title from a Playlist)

–when you copy contents recorded in DVD-VR mode from a DVD-RW to the HDD.

High speed dubbing of several contents - “Dub selected items”

You can select titles and chapters and copy them all at once.

Rate conversion dubbing

You can copy a content, changing its data size to a different data one with which the content was recorded.

Use this function on the purposes such as the followings:

–When you have recorded a content on the HDD at a high rate (“MN (Manual)”), and you cannot

copy it to a DVD-RAM disc because the data size is too large. (→ Reduce the data size.)

–When you recorded a content while “DVD

compatible mode” ( page 162) was set to

“Off”, and you cannot copy it to a DVD-R/RW in the DVD-Video format; or when a DVD-RAM disc was recorded with the other equipment which is not compatible with this recorder’s

recording format, and you want to copy it to a DVD-R/RW (→ Set “DVD compatible mode” to “Main” or “SAP”.)

Rate conversion dubbing of several parts

You can select titles and chapters and change the data size and copy them all at once.

Use this function when you unify the compatibility of several titles and contents all at once.

Line-U dubbing

You can record pictures recorded which is being played.

Use this function when you want to copy contents in DVD-R/RW recorded on other device, which cannot show thumbnails in a CONTENT MENU Title List, to the HDD.

All the above functions can copy data as original digital signals. “Rate conversion dubbing” and “Line- U dubbing”, however, needs data processing and may deteriorate the original picture and sound quality. Also, it is not possible to improve the picture and sound quality by the Rate conversion dubbing at increased bit rate.
