DV Dubbing (DV t HDD/DVD)

Before DV Dubbing

This section explains dubbing with a digital video
camera via the DV IN jack on the front panel. If
you want to dub by way of the LINE IN jacks, see
"Recording From Connected Equipment Without
a Timer" on page 52.
To record from the DV IN jack
The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the
i.LINK standard. You can connect any other
equipment that has an i.LINK (DV) jack, and
record digital signals.
Follow the instructions in "Preparing for
recording using the DV IN jack," and then move
on to the section on dubbing. For more
information about i.LINK, see "About i.LINK"
(page 106).
z Hint
If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the
initial dub, use the DV IN jack and record on a DVD-RW
(VR mode) or HDD.
Preparing for recording using the DV
IN jack
You can connect a digital video camera to the DV
IN jack on the recorder to record or edit from a DV
format tape. Operation is straightforward because
the recorder will fast forward and rewind the tape
for you – you do not need to operate your digital
video camera. Do the following to start using the
"DV Edit" functions of this recorder.
See the instruction manual supplied with the
digital video camera as well before connecting.
Notes
• The DV IN jack is for input only. It will not output
signals.
• You cannot use the DV IN jack when:
– your digital video camera does not work with this
recorder. Connect the camera to the LINE IN jack
and follow the instructions of "Recording From
Connected Equipment Without a Timer" (page 52).
– the input signal is not in DVC-SD format. Do not
connect a MICRO MV format digital video camera
even if it has an i.LINK jack.
– the images on the tape contain copy protection
signals, which limit recording.

Video
You can record the entire contents of a DV format
tape onto a disc with a single press of the ONE
TOUCH DUBBING button. The recorder controls
the digital video camera for the whole process, and
completes the recording.
How chapters are created
The dubbed contents on the disc become one title,
and the title is divided into chapters. For the HDD
and a DVD-RW (VR mode), every shooting on the
tape becomes a chapter on the disc (Auto Scene
Chaptering function). For other discs, the recorder
divides the title in either 6 or 15-minute intervals,
according to the setting in "Auto Chapter" in
Features Setup.
