Using Copy Lists

* See also Copyright on page 106.
At its simplest, a Copy List is just a list of HDD or DVD
titles that you want to copy. When copying HDD titles to
DVD, you can, however, edit the titles in your copy list,
erasing chapters you don't need, or re-naming titles, for
example. Edits you make to titles in the Copy List do not
affect the actual video content; only the 'virtual' content
of the Copy List. So you can freely erase and modify
anything in your Copy List safe in the knowledge that the
actual content is not being altered.
Copying from HDD to DVD
Important
• The recorder can only store one Copy List at a time.
• The Copy List is erased if the Input Line System
setting is changed (see Additional information about
1
) widescreen
the TV system settings on page 134).
• Resetting the recorder to its factory settings (see
Resetting the recorder on page 148) will erase the
Copy List.
1 Load a recordable DVD.
• It is possible to complete the following steps without
having a recordable DVD loaded (or having an
uninitialized DVD loaded); however, the steps are
slightly different.
• If you want to use a DVD-RW (VR mode) disc for the
copy, make sure it is initialized before you start.
