Using disc backup
* See also Copyright on page 106.
This feature offers a simple way to make a backup copy
of a finalized Video mode disc or DVD+R/+RW. The data
is copied first to the hard disk drive
1
, then on to another
recordable DVD disc.
1 Select ‘Copy’, then ‘Disc backup’ from
the Home Menu.
2 Select a backup option.
There are three backup options:
• Start new disc backup – Start making a backup of a
disc.
• Resume writing data – Record the backup data
already on the HDD to a recordable DVD.
• Erase backup data – Erase the backup data on the
HDD.
3 Load the disc you want to make a backup of.
You can only make backup copies of finalized Video mode
discs, finalized DVD+R or DVD+RW discs (excluding
DVD-R DL/DVD+R DL discs).
4 Select ‘Start’.
• To see the progress of the backup, press DISPLAY.
• You can cancel the backup process by pressing ONE
TOUCH COPY for more than one second.
5 When the data has been copied, take out the disc
and load a blank* recordable DVD.
* If you’re using a DVD-RW or DVD+RW, the disc doesn’t
have to be blank, although the previous contents of the
disc will be erased in the backup process.
You can use a DVD-R ver. 2.0 or 2.1 disc, or DVD-RW ver.
1.1 or ver. 1.2 disc for the backup.
• If you backup a DVD-R disc to DVD-RW, you cannot
undo the finalization later.
• Actual recordable capacity of discs vary so there may
be cases where the contents of the disc you’re
backing-up will not fit on to a particular blank disc. If
this happens, please try another brand of disc.
• DVD-R/-RW discs can only be backed up to DVD-R/-
RW discs; DVD+R/+RW discs can only be backed
up to DVD+R/+RW discs.
6 Select ‘Start’ to start writing the backed-up data
to the blank disc.
• To see the progress of the backup, press DISPLAY.
• You can cancel the backup process by pressing ONE
TOUCH COPY for more than one second. However,
this will make the disc unusable (although if you are
using a DVD-RW or DVD+RW disc you can re-
initialize it in order to make it usable again—see
Initializing recordable DVD discs on page 85.)
7 After the recorder has finished recording the
backup disc, you can select whether to make another
backup of the same data or exit.
• Select Start to make another backup copy or Cancel
to finish. If you want to make another backup copy,
return to step 6 above.
