Copying and back-up
Introduction
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 simply copy the title
that’s currently playing from HDD to DVD, or the other
way around.
For more complicated copying tasks you can make a
Copy List which specifies precisely what needs to be
copied. A Copy List is similar to a VR mode Play List in
many ways, and you’ll find that the Copy List commands
are similar to those available for editing a Play List.
A message showing that copying has finished is
displayed after copying. If the recorder is inactive and no
button is pressed (remote or front panel) then the
recorder will automatically go into standby after 20
minutes.
High-speed copying
Copying between DVD and HDD is a completely digital
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 quality
getting worse with each copy ‘generation’. It also means
that copying can be carried out at the maximum speed
possible.
When copying from HDD to DVD, the speed of copying
depends on the recording mode and the kind of DVD disc
you’re using. The table at the bottom of the page shows
the minimum copying time for one hour of material.
Important
• Not all discs are compatible with high-speed copying.
Check with the disc manufacturer for compatibility.
• There may be cases where even 2x/4x/8x compatible
discs do not copy at full speed.
• High-speed copying is not possible when using discs
initialized on another recorder.
• The table below shows disc brands that have been
tested for 8x speed writing compatibility with this
recorder.
