Dubbing (HDD

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 dub a playing title using the HDD/DVD
DUB button (see “HDD/DVD Dubbing” on
page 82) or you can select to dub multiple
titles all at once (see “Dubbing Using
Dubbing List” on page 83). You can also dub
an entire DVD disc to make a backup copy
(see “Making a Backup Disc (DVD Backup)”
on page 86).
Before you start, read the following
precautions, which are common to all
dubbing methods.
If you want to record from a digital video
camera connected to the DV IN jack, see
“DV Camcorder Dubbing” on page 87.
To record from equipment connected to the
LINE IN jacks, see “Recording from
Connected Equipment” on page 61.
Before you start…
• You cannot record both the main and sub
sound on the HDD (when “HDD Recording
Format” is set to “Video Mode On” in the
“Recording” setup), DVD+RWs, DVD-
RWs (Video mode), DVD+Rs, or DVD-Rs
(Video mode). For bilingual programmes,
set “Bilingual Recording” to either “A/L”
(default) or “B/R” in the “Audio In” setup
(page 122). About HDD Recording format,
see page 128.
• A title name in the dubbing source is
dubbed. However, only up to 40 characters
of a title name are dubbed when dubbing
from the HDD to a DVD+RW/DVD-RW
(Video mode)/DVD+R/DVD-R (Video
mode).
• The chapter marks in the dubbing source
are dubbed. The position of chapter marks
may be slightly changed from the original.
However, the chapter marks in the dubbing
source are not retained in the dubbed title
when dubbing to a DVD-RW/DVD-R
(Video mode), DVD+RW, or DVD+R at
normal speed. The chapter marks are
automatically inserted according to the
“Auto Chapter (Video)” and “Auto Chapter
(DVD+R/+RW)” settings in the
“Recording” setup (page 127).
• The “Set Thumbnail” setting in the dubbing
source is dubbed as a thumbnail picture
marker (except when dubbing from a
DVD+RW/DVD-RW (Video mode)/
DVD+R/DVD-R (Video mode)). The
position of thumbnail picture markers may
be slightly changed from the original.

Hint
When you dub a Playlist title, it is recorded as an
Original title.

Notes
• You cannot make a recording while dubbing.
• Before playing a dubbed disc on other DVD
equipment, finalise the disc (page 37, 83).
• You cannot dub from DVD VIDEOs to the HDD.
• Titles containing mixed aspect ratios cannot be
dubbed to a DVD+RW/DVD+R/DVD-RW/
DVD-R (Video mode) using the HDD/DVD
DUB button.
• Titles over 8 hours cannot be dubbed to single-
layer DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs.
• Low resolution (SEP through LP modes) 16:9
size titles cannot be dubbed to a DVD+RW/
DVD+R/DVD-RW/DVD-R (Video mode).
• When dubbing to a DVD-R DL (Video mode) in
“Real time” dubbing mode, the dubbing contents
are divided into titles at the point where the layers
switch.
