Dubbing
Before Dubbing
Use the copying features of this recorder to:
• Back up important recordings stored on the HDD to
a DVD.
• Make a DVD copy of a recording on the HDD to play
in another player.
•Transfer video from a DVD to the HDD for editing.
•Transfer edited video from the HDD to DVD.
The simplest method of copying is to use the One
Touch Copy feature. Using this you can very simply
copy the title that’s currently playing from HDD to
DVD, or the other way around.
Note:
If the title’s length is less than 5 seconds, the dubbing
is not available. (from HDD to DVD)
Restrictions on copying
Some video material is copy-once protected: Such
material cannot be copied to HDD. If you want to
record copy-once protected material to DVD, you must
use a VR mode DVD-RW disc compatible with CPRM
Ver. 1.1.
You can identify copy-once protected material during
playback by displaying disc information on-screen.
•A media in NTSC format cannot be copied.
• Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded
using HDD, DVD-RW disc in VR mode or DVD-RAM
disc with CPRM (see below).
What is ‘CPRM’?
CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble sys-
tem) only allowing the recording of ‘copy once’ broad-
cast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection
for Recordable Media.
This Recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but
you cannot then make a copy of those recordings.
CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW
discs formatted in VR mode or DVD-RAM discs, and
CPRM recordings can only be played on players that
are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Fast copying
Copying between DVD and HDD is a completely digi-
tal process and therefore involves no loss of quality in
the audio or video. This means that you can transfer
back and forth without having to worry about the quali-
ty getting worse with each copy ‘generation’. It also
means that copying can be carried out at the maxi-
mum speed possible.
When copying from HDD to DVD, the speed of copy-
ing depends on the recording mode and the kind of
DVD disc you’re using.
Re-encode copying
If you choose XP, SP, LP or EP other than Fast copy-
ing, re-encode copying will start: The dubbing will be
performed only at standard (1X) speed, and the play-
back screen will appear during dubbing.The quality of
dubbed images will degrade when the speed mode is
changed, for example, from SP to EP.
