Dubbing a Title from the HDD to a BD/DVD

Titles stored in the internal HDD can be dubbed to a BD/DVD as follows.

Memo:

- Disc types that can be used for dubbing with this unit are: BD-RE, BD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD-R.

For more details, refer to "Discs that enable both dubbing and playback" ( page 10 ).

- HD content for which the delete scene operation has been applied cannot be dubbed to BDMV. Perform seamless conversion before starting a dubbing operation.

For details, refer to "Mode Conversion" (page 73).

- When dubbing 720p content to a BDAV/BDMV disc, the data may be converted to 480i in some cases. This occurs when recording mode conversion other than seamless conversion is performed, or when dubbing is performed via recording mode selection.

For 720p HDV content imported via i.LINK, a disc can be created at 720p during high-speed dubbing to BDAV. For 720p content imported from JVC GY-HM700/100 via an SD card, a high-definition disc can be created by selecting high-speed dubbing to BDMV/BDAV.

Note:

- The following high bit-rate files may not meet the Blu-ray Disc standards when they are dubbed to a BD.

- When a BDAV/BDMV disc is created (high-speed dubbing) by importing content captured in the JVC GY-HM700/100 SP mode.

- When a BDAV disc is created (high-speed dubbing) by importing content captured in the JVC GZ-HD7/6 etc FHD mode.

- When a BDAV/BDMV disc is created by importing content that is captured using another video camera at a peak bit-rate that exceeds 28.8 Mbps.

If the Blu-ray Disc standards are not met, playback on another player may fail. To ensure that the standards are satisfied, perform high-speed dubbing after converting the recording mode, or perform dubbing by specifying a recording mode.

Using the HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (HDMI CEC)

HDMI Consumer Electronics Control

• By using a HDMI cable to connect this unit with a TV that supports the HDMI CEC standard, this unit and the TV can be linked and operated together.
• HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is an industrial standard that allows HDMI devices to be linked and operated among each other by connecting them with a HDMI cable.

HDMI Consumer Electronics Control operations

• Perform the following operations when this unit is turned on, and the TV will switch automatically to the HDMI input that this unit is connected to.
• Playback from HDD, BD/DVD or SD CARD
• Press the [NAVIGATION] or [SETUP] button
• Turning off the power for the TV will also turn the power off for this unit automatically. If HDD, BD/DVD or SD CARD is being used for dubbing, the power will be turned off after dubbing finishes.

Using HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (activating the function)

1Connect this unit to a TV that is HDMI CEC compatible using a HDMI cable

2Change the setting of "HDMI-CEC" to "ON".

- Check the monitor (TV) setting if the HDMI CEC function does not work.

Memo:

- If you are not using the HDMI CEC function (deactivating), change the setting of "HDMI-CEC" to "OFF".

Note:

- The HDMI CEC function cannot be used if a TV that is not compatible with HDMI CEC has been connected.

- If a HDMI cable is not used for connecting, the HDMI CEC function will not be usable.

Creating a Seamless BD

When titles are imported into the HDD in the HD quality from a video camera, or when edited titles (e.g., after applying scene delete) are dubbed to a disc, seamless playback may not be possible at the joints of scenes. In this case, perform dubbing after executing “SEAMLESS” under the “MODE CHANGE” setting menu.

For details, refer to "Mode conversion" ( page 73).

Creating a seamless BD that uses "MODE CONVERSION" (seamless conversion, recording mode conversion)

Memo:

• During dubbing to BDMV, the recording mode cannot be specified.
• Do not perform recording mode conversion before seamless conversion. Otherwise, seamless conversion cannot be performed.
• If scene delete or chapter delete is applied to a title, it cannot be dubbed to a BDMV disc without performing seamless conversion.
• For titles that are imported into the HDD in the SD picture quality, you can create a seamless DVD by setting "SEAMLESS PLAYBACK" under the "Setting Menu List" to "ON", followed by performing re-encode dubbing.
  Refer to "Playback seamless" ( page 77).
