HDD Camcorder Dubbing
Before HDD Camcorder
Dubbing
You can dub the contents of a Sony HDD
camcorder to the hard disk drive of the
recorder via the USB jack on the front panel.
Methods to dub from the HDD camcorder
include:
• One-Touch Dubbing (Incremental
Dubbing)
• Dubbing using the on-screen display
(Incremental Dubbing/Full Dubbing)
Follow the instructions in “Preparing for
HDD camcorder dubbing,” and then move
on to the section on dubbing.
z Hints
• If you want to dub by way of the LINE IN jacks,
see “Recording from Connected Equipment” on
page 46.
• If you want to record the contents of the HDD
camcorder on a DVD, dub them to the HDD of
the recorder first, and then edit the title on the
HDD and dub it to a DVD.
• Parts finished dubbing remain on the recorder
when the HDD space of the recorder becomes
full or you stop dubbing partway.
• Dolby Digital 5.1 ch audio recorded in the HDD
camcorder can be dubbed to the recorder in the
same format, without down-conversion.
b
Notes
• No timer recordings or other operations are
available when dubbing from the HDD
camcorder.
• The supported device is Sony HDD SD
(standard definition) camcorder released in or
before April 2008.
• The recorder does not support the AVCHD
format (HD (high definition) image quality).
You can dub MPEG-2 format images (SD
(standard definition) images) only.
• When the HDD camcorder contains still images
and moving images, only moving images can be
dubbed to the recorder.
• Playlist made with the HDD camcorder cannot
be dubbed to the recorder.
• You cannot set the recording mode for HDD
camcorder dubbing.
• When dubbing from the HDD camcorder, the
recorder recognizes and uses the shooting date
and time information of the HDD camcorder. If
the HDD camcorder’s clock is incorrect, the
recorder may not dub the contents properly. Set
the HDD camcorder’s clock correctly before
shooting.
• Images of the HDD camcorder are not displayed
when dubbing.
• You cannot record date, time, or the contents of
the HDD camcorder memory onto the recorder.
• If you dub the contents recorded in high quality
mode in the HDD camcorder to the recorder, it
may take longer to finish dubbing than the
recording.
• Be sure to set the HDD camcorder to the NTSC
color system.
How titles and chapters are created
In each dubbing operation, the contents
dubbed to the recorder are divided into titles
by the shooting date. If the date has been
changed to the next day during one shooting
session, the shot image is included in the title
of the date when the shooting session started.
The title is divided into chapters. Each
shooting session on the HDD camcorder
becomes a chapter.
z Hint
The title names are automatically labeled as “USB
*** (start time of the first shooting session).”
b
Note
The dubbed contents are divided into titles in the
following cases, even if they were all recorded in
the same day:
– When the total recording time exceeds 12 hours.
– When the total number of scenes exceeds 99.
