Information on dubbing
You can copy a HDD / DVD disc to a videotape or 
copy a videotape to a HDD / DVD disc. This function 
will be possible only if the DVD disc or the videotape 
is not copy protected.
Before starting this function, prepare for the recording 
on the DVD-RW / R disc or the videotape. Refer to 
pages 28 to 30 (HDD / DVD) or page 89 (VCR).
Difference between Copy (dubbing) and Move:
Available dubbing direction for copy-once 
programme:
O: Available
X: Not available
*1: The programme (recorded) moves. (It will be 
deleted from HDD.) 
*2: You cannot dub the recorded programme to HDD 
or DVD-RW again. (Copy control signal will be 
recorded to the videotape.)
(Refer to page 30 for details about CPRM.)
Note
• When you dub using [DUBBING MODE], be aware 
that all the programmes in the Dubbing List will be 
erased when you switch Original List and Playlist. If 
you want to dub programmes from both lists  
(Original List and Playlist), finish up the dubbing of 
one list first and then make dubbing of the other list.
• NTSC dubbing is prohibited in this unit.
One Touch Dubbing from HDD to DVD
With One Touch Dubbing, you can start dubbing right 
away with just one touch.

pages 28 to 30.)

DVD.

Select Button before using the device of your 
choice.
Limitations:

DVDs.

• If the unit detects that the dubbing will not finish 
by 3 minutes before the Timer Recording, the 
dubbing cannot be started. Be noted that with 
HDD to DVD dubbing, the duration of the 
dubbing is the duration of the dubbing title 
(except for the High Speed Dubbing).
• If a copy control signal is detected, the dubbing 
cannot be started.
• You cannot dub to the DVD if the number of the 
titles or the chapters of the disc is at its limit.

DVD recording.

Menu is showing (except for the Title List).

prohibited icon “ ” will appear and the dubbing 
will not be started.
Method 2: Select the title you want to dub in the 
Original List or Playlist. With the title
