In this section, "dubbing" refers to "copying
a recorded title on the internal hard disk drive
(HDD) to another disc, or vice versa." You
can dub a playing title using the HDD/DVD
DUB button (see "HDD/DVD Dubbing" on
page 67) or you can select to dub multiple
titles all at once (see "Dubbing Using
Dubbing List" on page 68). You can also dub
an entire DVD disc to make a backup copy
(see "Making a Backup Disc (DVD Backup)"
on page 71).
Before you start, read the following
precautions, which are common to all
dubbing methods.
If you want to record from a digital video
camera connected to the DV IN jack, see
"DV Camcorder Dubbing" on page 72.
To record from equipment connected to the
LINE IN jacks, see "Recording from
Connected Equipment" on page 47.
Before you start...
• You cannot record both the main and sub
sound on the HDD (when "HDD Recording
Format" is set to "Video Mode On" in the
"Recording" setup), DVD+RWs, DVD-
RWs (Video mode), DVD+Rs, or DVD-Rs
(Video mode). For bilingual programmes,
set "Bilingual Recording" to either "A/L"
(default) or "B/R" in the "Audio In" setup
(page 103). About HDD Recording format,
see page 109.
• A title name in the dubbing source is
dubbed. However, only up to 40 characters
of a title name are dubbed when dubbing
from the HDD to a DVD+RW/DVD-RW
(Video mode)/DVD+R/DVD-R (Video
mode).
