Dubbing (HDD y DVD)
Before Dubbing
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 64) or you can select to
dub multiple titles all at once (see “Dubbing
Using Dubbing List” on page 64). You can
also dub an entire DVD disc to make a
backup copy (see “Making a Backup Disc
(DVD Backup)” on page 67).
Before you start, read the following
precautions, which are common to all
dubbing methods.
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
stereo/SAP programs, set “Dual Mono
Recording” to either “L” (default) or “R”
in the “Audio In” setup (page 101). To
record both the main and sub sound on the
HDD, select “Video Mode Off” in “HDD
Recording Format” (except in PCM
recording mode) (see page 105). To record
on DVDs, use DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs
formatted in VR mode (except in PCM
recording mode). If the recording mode is
in PCM mode, only one of the audio
signals can be recorded.
• 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).
• The chapter marks in the dubbing source
are dubbed. The position of chapter marks
may be slightly changed from the original.
However, the chapter marks in the dubbing
source are not retained in the dubbed title
when dubbing to a DVD-RW/DVD-R
(Video mode), DVD+RW, or DVD+R at
normal speed. The chapter marks are
automatically inserted according to the
“Auto Chapter (Video)” and “Auto
Chapter (DVD+R/+RW)” settings in the
“Recording” setup (page 105).
• The “Set Thumbnail” setting in the
dubbing source is dubbed as a thumbnail
picture marker (except when dubbing from
a DVD+RW/DVD-RW (Video mode)/
DVD+R/DVD-R (Video mode)). The
position of thumbnail picture markers may
be slightly changed from the original.
z Hint
When you dub a Playlist title, it is recorded as an
Original title.
b Notes
• You cannot make a recording while dubbing.
• Before playing a dubbed disc on other DVD
equipment, finalize the disc (page 38, 65).
• You cannot dub from DVD VIDEOs to the
HDD.
• Titles containing mixed aspect ratios cannot be
dubbed to a DVD+RW/DVD+R/DVD-RW/
DVD-R (Video mode) using the HDD/DVD
DUB button.
• Titles over 8 hours cannot be dubbed to single-
layer DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs.
• Low resolution (SEP through LP modes) 16:9
size titles cannot be dubbed to a DVD+RW/
DVD+R/DVD-RW/DVD-R (Video mode).
• Titles recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 ch audio are
down-converted to 2-channel audio when
dubbed at normal speed (“Real time” dubbing).
• About the “Move” function, see page 124.
