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).
To record from equipment connected to the LINE
IN jacks, see “Recording from connected
equipment without a timer” on page 59.
Before you start, read the following precautions,
which are common to both dubbing methods.
Before you start…
• Select the disc type according to your needs
(page 8). 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. For bilingual programmes,
set “DVD Bilingual Rec.” to either “Main”
(default) or “Sub” in “Options” setup
(page 103).
• Timer recording 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 titles with mixed picture sizes (16:9 or 4:3):
– When dubbed from the HDD to DVD-RW
(Video mode) or DVD-R, the picture size is
determined by the setting in “DVD Rec.
Picture Size” (page 54).
– 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 sizes are
retained.

Hints
• When you dub a Playlist title, it is recorded as an
original title.
• When dubbed from a DVD to the HDD, the picture
sizes and the sound types originally recorded are
retained.
Notes
• To play a dubbed disc on other DVD equipment,
finalize the disc (page 46).
• 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 41) will not be retained in the
dubbed title.
About “Dub Mode”
With this recorder, the recording mode for
dubbing is displayed as “Dub Mode.” Two
dubbing methods 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).
