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 74), or multiple titles all at once (Multiple
Title Dubbing – see “Dubbing Multiple Titles
(Dub Selected Titles)” on page 75).
Before you start, read the following precautions,
which are common to both dubbing methods.
z Hint
This section deals with dubbing to and from the internal
HDD. If you want to record from a digital video camera
connected to the DV IN jack, see “DV Dubbing”
(page 77). To record from equipment connected to the
LINE IN jacks, see “Recording From Connected
Equipment Without a Timer” (page 52).
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 programs, set
“DVD Bilingual Rec.” to either “Main” (default)
or “Sub” in Options Setup (page 97).
• Timer recordings and Synchronized recordings
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.
• Chapter marks in the original recording do not
remain in the dubbed title. Chapter marks are
entered according to the “Auto Chapter” setting
in Features Setup (page 93).
• For a title whose aspect ratio (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 Rec.
Picture Size” (page 49).
–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
• You can dub a Playlist title on a DVD-RW (VR mode)
as an original title on the HDD.
• When dubbed from a DVD to the HDD, the picture size
and the sound types originally recorded are retained.
Notes
• The recorder may not function as described depending
on the disc status. Follow the instructions that appear on
the screen.
• When a message appears and indicates that the control
information is full, erase unnecessary titles (page 65).
• You cannot dub from DVD VIDEOs or a DVD
recorded on other DVD equipment to the HDD.
• Thumbnails that you have set for the originally
recorded title (page 34) 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 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 (4x-speed
DVD+RWs/2x-speed DVD-RWs/8x-speed
DVD+Rs/8x-speed DVD-Rs, or slower versions
of each disc type), without changing the recording
mode. Dubbing speed is increased when the
recording mode of the original title is of a longer
recording mode (such as SLP).
Select “Fast” when selecting the “Dub Mode” in
“Dubbing a Single Title (Title Dub)” (page 74) or
“Dubbing Multiple Titles (Dub Selected Titles)”
(page 75). The minimum required time is as
follows (approximate).
Example: When a 120 minute-title is dubbed to a
high-speed DVD-R in LP mode, dubbing becomes
12 times faster, and takes a minimum of 10
minutes. (120 minutes ÷ 12 = 10 minutes).
