Recording an Entire DV
Format Tape (One Touch

Dubbing)

HDD + RW - RW - RW + R - R
VR
Video
You can record the entire contents of a DV/
Digital 8 format tape onto a disc with a single
press of the ONE-TOUCH DUB button on the
recorder. The recorder controls the digital video
camera for the whole process, and completes the
recording.
How chapters are created
The contents dubbed to the HDD or DVD become
a single title. When "Auto Chapter" of "Features"
setup is set to "On," this title is divided into
chapters. When dubbing to the HDD or a DVD-
RW (VR mode), each shooting session on the tape
becomes a chapter on the disc. For other discs, the
recorder divides the title into chapters at
approximately 6-minute intervals.
Follow steps 1 to 5 of "Preparing for DV
dubbing" on page 84, and press ONE-TOUCH
DUB on the recorder.
The recorder rewinds the tape and then starts
recording the tape contents.
When the recording is finished, the recorder
rewinds the tape in the digital video camera.
To stop during recording
Open the remote's cover and press x REC STOP.
Note that it may take a few seconds for the
recorder to stop recording.
z Hints
• If you set "Finalise Disc" of "One Touch Dubbing" to
"Auto" in "Features" setup (page 100), the recorded
disc (except DVD-RW (VR mode)) will automatically
be finalised after recording is finished.
• You can play back a previously recorded title on the
HDD while One Touch Dubbing is in progress.
b
Notes
• When a blank space between the recordings on the tape
continues for more than five minutes, One Touch
Dubbing ends automatically.

stops dubbing. To stop the blank recording, press
x REC STOP.
