Recording an Entire DV/
Digital8 Format Tape (ONE
TOUCH DUB)
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.
The recorder controls the digital video camera for the whole
process, and completes the recording.
Example for all disc types
When using a DVD-RW (VR mode), chapter marks [b] are
marked where the recordings start on the tape [a] (Auto Scene
Chaptering).
For other discs, the recorder marks chapters either in 6 or 15
minute intervals depending on the setting in Auto Chapter in
Features Setup (page 97).
Follow steps 1 to 7 of Preparing for recording
using the DV IN jack (page 75), then press ONE
TOUCH DUB on the front panel of 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, and turns off.

Press x REC STOP.
z Hints
The date and time of the recording made with your digital video
camera is assigned as the program name in the DV/D8 Edit List

If you set Finalize Disc to Auto in Features Setup (page 98), the
recorded disc will automatically be finalized after recording is
finished.
Notes
