Dubbing From a DV/D8
Format Tape to a DVD
You can simply record the entire contents of a DV/
D8 format tape onto a disc. The recorder controls
the DV camcorder for the whole process. You can
also select the scenes on the tape using the on-
screen display. See “Dubbing selected scenes” on
page 70.
◆
How titles and chapters are created
The dubbed contents on the disc become one title,
and the title is then divided into chapters at either
5 or 15-minute intervals, according to the “DVD
Auto Chapter” setting of “Features” in the “Setup”
display.
Notes
• To play the dubbed disc on other DVD equipment,
finalize the disc (page 66). If you set “Auto Finalize” to
“On” in the “Features” setup (page 85), the Auto
Finalize function works for DVD-RWs (Video mode),
DVD-Rs (Video mode) and DVD+Rs after dubbing.
For details, see page 67.
• Do not connect the (USB) jack at the same time.

Notes
• During dubbing, timer recordings are unavailable.
• You cannot record the date, time, or contents of a DV/
D8 format tape onto the disc.
• If you record from a DV/D8 format tape with a
soundtrack that is recorded in multiple sampling
frequencies (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 32 kHz), no sound,
or an unnatural sound may be output when passing the
sampling frequency switch point on the disc.
• 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.
• Noise may occur if you switch the audio sampling
mode (48 kHz/16 bits
t
32 kHz/12 bits).

Notes
• During dubbing, do not disconnect the USB device.

USB jack on the recorder.
Also refer to the instruction manual supplied with
the connected USB device before connecting.

Dubbing From a DVD
Camcorder (DVD Backup)
You can dub all the contents of a DVD in the DVD
camcorder to another DVD as a backup copy. Be
sure to finalize a source DVD before dubbing.
◆
Usable discs for backup DVDs
Use a new or blank DVD of the same type as the
source DVD.
Notes
• When using a DVD+R/DVD-R, make sure that the disc
is new, unformatted, and has not been loaded into the
recorder. Since blank discs are automatically formatted
once loaded, you can use them for other purposes, such
as timer recording.
• When using a DVD+RW/DVD-RW, use unused or
blank discs only, as the operation erases any pre-
recorded data.
• Insert the disc only after step 4 when the disc tray has
opened. Otherwise the recorder may automatically
format the disc, making it unusable for DVD Backup.
1
Press INPUT repeatedly to select “USB.”
2
Connect your DVD camcorder and set it to
USB connecting mode.
For example, select “ COMPUTER” when
“USB SELECT” appears on the camcorder’s
screen.
Check the USB indicator lights up in the front
panel display.
3
Press ONE-TOUCH DUBBING on the
recorder.
The display asks for confirmation. Note that
you cannot stop dubbing halfway.
4
Select “Start” and press ENTER.
The disc tray opens.
5
Place a recordable disc, and press
Z
OPEN/CLOSE to close the disc tray.
The progress bar display appears, and the
recorder starts dubbing the entire contents of
the source DVD.
Do not disconnect the USB cable while
dubbing is in progress. When dubbing is
complete, the progress bar disappears.
To dub using the on-screen menu

After step 2 above, press SYSTEM MENU.
