Dubbing
Before Dubbing
Use the copying features of this recorder to:
Back up important recordings stored on the HDD to
a DVD.
Make a DVD copy of a recording on the HDD to
play in another player.
Transfer video from a DVD to the HDD for editing.
Transfer edited video from the HDD to DVD.
The simplest method of copying is to use the One
Touch Copy feature. Using this you can very simply
copy the title that’s currently playing from HDD to
DVD, or the other way around.
Note:
If the title’s length is less than 5 seconds, the dubbing
is not available. (from HDD to DVD)
Restrictions on copying
Some video material is copy-once protected. This
means that it can be recorded to HDD, but it cannot
then be freely copied again. If you want to transfer
copy-once protected material from HDD to DVD, you’ll
need to use a VR mode DVD-RW disc compatible
with CPRM Ver. 1.1, and the following restrictions
apply:
After copying a copy-once protected title to DVD it is
automatically erased from the HDD. It is not therefore
possible to copy a locked title that is copy-once
protected.
You can identify copy-once protected material during
playback by displaying disc information on-screen.
A media in NTSC format cannot be copied.
What is ‘CPRM’?
CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble
system) only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’
broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content
Protection for Recordable Media.
This Recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but
you cannot then make a copy of those recordings.
CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW
discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings
can only be played on players that are specifically
compatible with CPRM.

Fast copying
Copying between DVD and HDD is a completely
digital process and therefore involves no loss of
quality in the audio or video. This means that you can
transfer back and forth without having to worry about
the quality getting worse with each copy ‘generation’.
It also means that copying can be carried out at the
maximum speed possible.
When copying from HDD to DVD, the speed of
copying depends on the recording mode and the kind
of DVD disc you’re using.
