or another recorder of the same model.

cassette memory onto the disc.
• If you record from a DV/Digital8 format tape that is
recorded in multiple sound tracks, such as a tape with
multiple sampling frequencies (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or
32 kHz), no sound or an unnatural sound will be output
when playing back the sampling frequency switch
point on the disc.
• In order to use this recorder's "Auto Chapter" setting
(page 71, 72), be sure to correctly set the clock on your
digital video camera before shooting.
• The recorded picture may be momentarily affected if
the picture size of the source image changes, or if there
is nothing recorded on the tape.

Video
You can record the entire contents of a DV/
Digital8 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 DVD become a single
title. When "Auto Chapter" of "Features" setup is
set to "On," this title is divided into chapters.
When dubbing to 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/
Digital8 dubbing" on page 70, 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 Hint
If you set "Finalize Disc" of "One Touch Dubbing" to
"Auto" in "Features" setup (page 81), the recorded disc
(except DVD-RW (VR mode)) will automatically be
finalized after recording is finished.
b
Notes
• When a blank space between the recordings on the tape
continues for more than five minutes, One Touch
Dubbing ends automatically.
• The recorder records a blank for five minutes before it
