Synchronized recording
You can record videos on DVD+RW or DVD+R discs while playing them
back on your video device.
Connect the video device to the drive using an AV cable, and the drive will
start/stop recording automatically when you start/stop playback on the video
device. In synchronized recording, the drive starts/stops recording when it
detects signals from the video device.
Note
Synchronized recording may not operate properly or entirely in the following cases:
• The video device continues to output signals even after playback has stopped. For example,
standard VCRs output signals from the built-in tuner after they stop playback of tapes,
therefore, the drive keeps detecting signals and does not stop recording. To avoid this, set
the VCR so that it does not output signals when it is not playing back tape, by switching
the input selection to line-in, etc. This symptom will occur with some video cameras that
output a video signal to make blue or plain back-screen. In this case, disable the signal for
back-screen on your video cameras.
• The drive has detected a copy protection signal. Recording stops.
• Videos may not be recorded for a moment when recording has just started.
