Chapter 2 Recording and Playback
If you copy a source tape, using the DUP (duplicate) button on this VCR,
you can copy the time code recorded on the source tape as they are. You
can easily make a work tape having the same time codes as the source
tape.
The duplicate function on this VCR works only when using a source tape
recorded in DVCAM format and making DV connections.

Connect this VCR and the other (playback) VCR, using a DV cable
and select DV with INPUT SELECT on this VCR.

Press and hold the DUP button, and press the PLAY button.

mode.
Notes

indicator lights and duplicate starts immediately.

starts immediately and this VCR continues to record a still picture
and a certain time code.
