Dubbing (HDD
y
DVD)
Before Dubbing
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 Dub)” on
page 81), or multiple titles all at once (Multiple
Title Dubbing – see “Dubbing multiple titles (Dub
Selected Titles)” on page 82).
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 84. To record from equipment connected
to the LINE IN jacks, see “Recording from
connected equipment without a timer” on page 59.
Before you start…
• Select the disc type according to your needs
(page 10). This recorder can record on various
discs.
• You cannot record both the main and sub sound
on a DVD+RW, DVD-RW (Video mode),
DVD+R, or DVD-R. You can only record the
main sound.
• Timer recordings and Synchro-Recording do not
start during dubbing. Before you start, check the
Timer List menu to see if there is any timer
recording due to start during dubbing.
• When “Auto Chapter” of “Features” setup is set
to “On,” chapter marks are automatically
inserted at approximately 6-minute intervals
while dubbing from the HDD to a DVD, or when
the recorder detects picture and sound changes
while dubbing from a DVD to the HDD. The
chapter marks in the dubbing source are not
retained in the dubbed title.
• For a title whose picture size (16:9 or 4:3) is
mixed:
– When dubbed from the HDD to DVD-RW
(Video mode) or DVD-R, the picture size is
determined by the setting in “DVD Line Rec.
Picture Size” (page 53).
– When dubbed from HDD to DVD+RW or
DVD+R, the picture size is always 4:3.
– When dubbed from HDD to DVD-RW (VR
mode), the originally recorded picture size is
retained.
z
Hints
• 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.
b
Notes
• To play a dubbed disc on other DVD equipment,
finalise the disc (page 39).
• The recorder may not function as described depending
on the disc status. Follow the instructions that appear on
the screen.
• You cannot dub from DVD VIDEOs to the HDD.
• Thumbnails that you have set for the originally
recorded title (page 34) will not be retained in the
dubbed title.
With this recorder, the recording mode for
dubbing is displayed as “Dub Mode.” Two
dubbing method are available: High-speed
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)
,
/ / / /
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 “Title Dub” or “Dub
Selected Titles” display (page 81). You cannot
select “Fast” when titles that cannot be dubbed at
high speed are selected (such as the titles displayed
in “Notes” below). The minimum required time is
as follows (approximate).

Required times for High-speed Dubbing from
HDD to DVD (for 60-minute programme)
*1
*1
The values in the above table are for reference only.
Actual times for dubbing also require time for creating
disc’s control information and other data.
*2
This is the maximum recording speed of this recorder.
The value may vary depending on the disc condition.
Also, this recorder may be unable to record at the
maximum speed for discs that support recording
speeds exceeding the maximum value.
*3
The maximum drive speed of this recorder is 6x when
using 6x-speed or faster DVD+RWs.
*4
The maximum drive speed of this recorder is 8x when
using 8x-speed or faster DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs.
*5
High-speed dubbing is not available when dubbing
titles recorded in SLP and SEP mode to DVD+RWs
and DVD+Rs.
b
Notes
• High-speed Dubbing is not available for the following
titles:
– Titles recorded in HQ+.
– Titles that contain both main and sub sounds (except
DVD-RWs (VR mode)).
– Titles recorded in mixed picture size (4:3 and 16:9
etc.), (except DVD-RWs (VR mode)).
• When dubbed to a DVD-RW (Video mode)/
DVD+RW/DVD+R/DVD-R, remnants of edited titles
may remain on the disc. If you edit a title, use the Rec
Mode Conversion Dubbing method. This will smooth
out the pauses between the scenes.
• When dubbing to a DVD+R DL disc, the video may be
momentarily interrupted at the point where the layers
switch.
Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing
n
/ / / /
Allows you to dub from the HDD to a DVD or vice
versa, in a dubbing mode that differs from the
original recordings. For example, when you dub
an HQ title (data size is large) in SP mode, you can
reduce the data size, saving more titles using less
space.
Select a mode different from the original recording
in “Dub Mode” in the steps of “Dubbing a single
title (Title Dub)” on page 81 or “Dubbing multiple
titles (Dub Selected Titles)” on page 82.
When a title recorded to HDD in HQ or HQ+ mode
is converted to another mode, the recorder
automatically assigns an appropriate bit rate, thus
retaining the original picture quality as much as
possible.
b
Note
The picture quality will not improve even if a title is
converted to a recording mode of better picture quality.
Dubbing restriction
You cannot dub movies and other DVD Videos to
the HDD. Also, when dubbing from a DVD to the
HDD, a gray, blank screen will be recorded for
scenes that contain a copy protection signal.
* CPRM-compatible DVD-RWs (VR mode) only
CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) is a
coding technology that protects copyrights for images.
