Notes

• This recorder cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs.
• DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt of condensation on the recorder's lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

playable Discs

DVD (8 cm/12 cm disc)

Video CD (VCD) (8 cm / 12 cm disc)

Audio CD (8 cm/12 cm disc)

In addition, this unit can play DVD-R/DVD-RW discs; CD-R/CD-RW discs that contain audio titles, MP3 files, or JPEG files; SVCD; and kodak picture CDs.

Notes

• Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R / RW (or DVD-R / RW, DVD+R / RW) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD-R / RW, DVD+R / RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.
• Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.
• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.

Regional code of the recorder and DVDs

This recorder is designed and manufactured for playback of Region 2 encoded DVD software.

The region code on the labels of some DVD discs indicates which type of the recorder can play those discs. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled 2 or ALL. If you try to play any other discs, the message "Incorrect region code. Can't play back" will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code label even though their playback is prohibited by area limits.

Notes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, some playback features of the unit may not be available or other functions may be added. Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be played on the unit.

Disc-related terms

Title (DVD only)

The main film content or accompanying feature content or music album.

Each title is assigned a title reference number enabling you to locate it easily.

Chapter (DVD only)

Sections of a picture or a musical piece that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number to enable you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not be labeled.

Track (Video CD and audio CD only)

Sections of a picture or a musical piece on a video CD or an audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you to locate the track you want.

Scene

On a video CD with PBC (Playback control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called "Scenes". Each scene available is displayed on the Scene menu and assigned a scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene may be composed of one or several tracks.

Types of video CDs

There are two types of video CDs:

Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)

PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact with the system via menus, search functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, high resolution still pictures can be played if they are included on the disc.

Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)

Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but they are not equipped with PBC.

About DVD-R and DVD-RW disc

How are DVD-R and DVD-RW discs different?

The essential difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW is that DVD-R is a record-once medium, while DVD-RW is a re-recordable/erasable medium. You can re-record/ erase a DVD-RW disc approximately 1,000 times.

Can I play my recordable discs in a regular DVD player?

Generally, DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs recorded in Video mode are playable in a regular DVD player, but they must be 'finalized' first. This process fixes the contents of the disc to make them readable to other DVD players as DVD-Video discs.

DVD-RW discs recorded in VR (Video Recording) mode are playable in some players.

This indicates a product feature that is capable of playing DVD-RW discs recorded with Video Recording format.

What are 'recording modes'?

There are two recording modes available using this recorder: VR mode and Video mode. When recording to a DVD-R disc, recordings are always in Video mode. DVD-RW discs can be formatted for VR mode recording or Video mode recording.

VR mode recording

• 3 different picture quality/recording time settings available (HQ, SQ, LQ)
  • Not playable on regular DVD players
  • Recordings can be extensively edited

Video mode recording

• 3 different picture quality/recording time settings available (HQ, SQ, LQ)
• Playable on regular DVD players (after finalizing)
• Limited editing features

Many functions of this recorder are dependent on the recording mode. One or more of the symbols

( Video, VR ) appear by each function explained in this manual so that you can see at a glance whether it's relevant for the disc loaded.

You can find more information on disc formats and recording modes on page 45.

ote

DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for recording on DVD-R/RW discs that was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. You may therefore experience problems playing recordable DVD discs in some players. Symptoms include video artifacts, audio and/or video dropouts and playback suddenly stopping.

Our company cannot take responsibility for problems playing discs recorded on this recorder in other players.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

No. When you edit a video tape you need one video deck to play the original tape and another to record the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a 'Playlist' of what to play and when to play it. On playback, the recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

About word 'Original' and 'Playlist'

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and the edited version.

• Original: content refers to what's actually recorded on the disc.
• Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the disc — how the Original content is to be played.

Reset the recorder

If you observe any of the following symptoms...

• The unit is plugged in, but the power will not turn on or off.
  • The front panel display is not working.
  • The recorder is not operating normally.

...you can reset the recorder as follows:

• Press and hold the POWER button for at least five seconds. This will force the unit to power off.
  Press the POWER button again to turn the unit back on.
• Unplug the power cord, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it in again.

About the internal hard disk drive

The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of equipment. Please use the recorder following the guidelines below to protect against possible HDD failure.

We recommend that you back up your important recordings onto DVD-R/RW discs in order to protect against accidental loss.

• Do not move the recorder while it is on.
  • Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface.
• Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan.
• Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid places, or in places that may be subject to sudden changes in temperature. Sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to form inside the recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure.
• While the recorder is switched on, do not unplug from the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the breaker switch.

• Do not move the recorder immediately after switching it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow the steps below:

• After the message POWER OFF is shown in the display, wait at least two minutes.

• Unplug from the wall socket.
• Move the player.

- If there's a power failure while the recorder is on there is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost.

- The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in an unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD will fail after a few years of use. Signs of problems include playback unexpectedly freezing and noticeable block noise (mosaic) in the picture.

However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of HDD failure.

If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will be possible. In this case it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit.

Cards capable of displaying and saving

• SD Memory Card
  • Multi Media Card (MMC)
  • Memory Stick (MS)
  • Compatible with: FAT 12, FAT 16, or FAT 32
• Use this unit to format a memory card when using for the first time. Note that the memory card may no longer be usable on other equipment once formatted on this unit.
• Only use the memory cards recommended above.

Regarding Write Protect

For cards that have a write protect switch, if the switch is on it will not be possible to write, erase or format the card.

Inserting/Removing the Memory Card

We recommend to insert or remove the memory card after turning the unit off.

Insert label side up.

Inserting the card.

Insert straight-in until it fits into place.

Removing the card

Press on the center of the card.

Notes

• Keep the memory card out of reach of children. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.
  • A memory card may not be used for this recorder

Notes on JPEG Recordings

• Depending on the size and number of JPEG files, it may take several minutes for the recorder to read the content. If you don't see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of the files are too big — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 4 megapixels.
• The total number of files and folders on a media are free but the total number of files and folders on the folder should be less than 1999.
• Some media may be incompatible due to different recording formats or the condition of the media.
• When you are using software such as "Easy CD Creator" to burn JPEG files on a CD-R, ensure that all selected files have the ".jpg" extension before copying them into the CD layout.
• If the files have ".jpe" or ".jpeg" extensions, please rename them as ".jpg" files.
• File names without the ".jpg" extension cannot be read by this DVD player, even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in Windows Explorer®.

Notes on MP3 Recordings

About MP3

• An MP3 file is audio data compressed using the MPEG1 audio layer 3 file-encoding scheme. Files that have the ".mp3" file extension are called "MP3 files".
• The recorder cannot read MP3 files that have file extensions other than ".mp3".

MP3 file compatibility with the recorder is limited as follows:

1. CD-R/RW physical format should be "ISO 9660" and "JOLIET".

2. If you record MP3 files using software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM (e.g., Direct-CD, etc.), it is impossible to playback MP3 files. "Easy-CD Creator" is recommended.

3. The total number of files and folders on the media are free but the total number of files and folders on the folder should be less than 1999.

This recorder requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files) that require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.

Please note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The recorder is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor.

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.)

For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Remote Control Operation Range

Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.

Remote Control Battery Installation

Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two R03 (size AAA) batteries with + and - aligned correctly.

Caution

Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center outward.

Yes

No

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

About DVD recording

otes

• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs.
• Our company takes no responsibility for recording failure due to power cuts, defective discs, or damage to the recorder.
• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect playback and/or recording performance. Please take proper care of your discs.

Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

This recorder can play three different kinds of DVD disc: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW and DVD-R discs. The disc format for DVD-R discs is always "Video format"—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R in a regular DVD player.

By default, the DVD-RW disc format is Video Recording format, though you can change this to Video format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents of the disc.)

The recording mode is closely related to the disc format. If the disc format is Video Recording format, then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc format is Video mode, then the recording mode is Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so does not have a recording mode).

Within the recording modes (which are fixed for the whole disc) are the record settings. These can be changed as required for each recording and determine the picture quality and how much space the recording will take up on the disc.

About HDD recording

Recording to the internal hard disk drive (HDD) is basically similar to recording to a VR mode DVD-RW disc. You have the full choice of recording quality options, including the manual mode, and of course you can record, erase and re-record as many times as you like. The capacity of the hard disk drive means that you can store many hours of video on it, even in the higher quality recording modes. To help you organize the contents, the HDD is divided into ten groups. You can name and use these groups as you like—for example, you might have a group for movies, another for TV shows, and one for camcorder recordings.

ote

The maximum number of titles that can be recorded on the HDD is 255.

Notes for recording

• The recording times shown are not exact because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded.
• When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the recording times may be shorter.
• If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer.
• The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to exactly the length of the disc.
• The recording time available may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.
• If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change the recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before you record anything on the disc. See page 28 (Disc Format) for how to do this.
• When using a DVD-R disc, you can keep recording until the disc is full, or until you finalize the disc. Before you start a recording session, check the amount of recording time left on the disc.
• When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, recording time available will only increase if you erase the last title recorded on the disc.
• The Erase Title option in the Title List-Original menu only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title from the disc and increase the recording time available (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).

Recording TV audio channels

This recorder can record either NICAM or regular audio. If the NICAM setting (page 21) is set to Auto, then if the broadcast is NICAM, you can record the NICAM audio. If the broadcast is non-NICAM, the regular audio is always recorded.

Recording time and picture quality

There are four preset recording quality modes:

• HQ – Highest quality setting, gives about 1 hour of recording time on a DVD disc.
• SQ – Default quality, sufficient for most applications, gives about 2 hours of recording time on a DVD.
• LQ – Slightly lower video quality, but doubles the recording time on a DVD to around 4 hours.

Restrictions on video recording

• You cannot record copy-protected video using this recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message will be displayed on-screen.
• Video that is 'copy-once only' can only be recorded using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below).
• NTSC format signals from the analog or the DV inputs is not recorded correctly with this recorder.
• Video signals in SECAM format (from the built-in TV tuner or from the analog inputs) are recorded in PAL format.
• VR mode DVD discs in NTSC format is not available for this recorder.

What is 'CPRM'?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of 'copy once' broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media.

This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Additional Information for Recording

Clean-up Recording

You can simply clean-up (erase) all contents on the disc then start recording from the first section of the disc. The disc format is not changed.

The message will appears on the TV screen.

3 Use ◀/▶ to select "OK" then press ENTER. Recording will start. (The REC indicator lights in the display window.)

Playing Your Recordings on Other DVD Players (Finalizing a Disc)

Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs recorded in Video mode. A small number of players can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not. Check the manual that came with the other player to check what kinds of discs it will play.

Finalizing 'fixes' the recordings in place so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.

Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for navigating the disc. This is accessed by pressing MENU/LIST or TITLE.

To finalize a disc, refer to "Finalize" on page 29.

Relief Recording

• If free space is insufficient during a DVD recording, the recording continues to HDD.
• When a timer recording is set to use DVD but the disc loaded at the time of the recording is unrecordable, the program will automatically be recorded to the HDD.

- If you connect a second recorder using a DV cable, you cannot control the second DVD from this one.
- You can't control this unit remotely from a component connected to the DV IN jack.
- You can't record date and time information from a DV cassette.

1 Make sure your digital camcorder is connected to the front panel DV IN jack. See page 18.
2 Choose a media (HDD or DVD) to record using HOME menu. (see page 30).
3 Check that the DV audio input is as you require. You can choose between Audio 1 (original audio) and Audio 2 (overdubbed audio).

- DV Input is set from the DV Rec Audio in sub-menu of the Setup menu. See DV Rec Audio on page 28 for more information.

4 Press AV repeatedly to select the DV input. DV appears in the display window and on the TV screen.
5 Find the place on the camcorder tape that you want to the recording to start from.

For best results, pause playback at the point from which you want to record.

- Depending on your camcorder, you can use this recorder's remote to control the camcorder using the STOP, PLAY and PAUSE functions.

6 Press REC (●) once to start recording.

What is DV?

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals.

The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE 1394-1995. "i.LINK" and the "i.LINK" logo are trademarks.

• This recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.
• You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to this recorder.
• You cannot control this recorder from external equipment connected via the DV IN jack (including two recorders).
• It may not always be possible to control the connected camcorder via the DV IN jack.
• Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo 16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-bit/32kHz. This recorder can only record one stereo audio track. Set DV Rec Audio to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as required (see page 28).
• Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz (not 44.1kHz).
• Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if the source component pauses playback or plays an unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in the source component, or the DV cable becomes disconnected.
• Although DV Rec Audio is set to Audio 2 and Audio 2 signal is not present, DV Rec Audio will be reset to Audio 1 automatically.

Troubleshooting

If you can't get a picture and/or audio through the DV IN jack, check the bullet points:

• Make sure the DV cable is properly connected.
• Try switching off the connected equipment then switch back on.
• Try switching the audio input.

Depending on the connected camcorder, you may not be able to control it using the remote control supplied with this recorder.

Using the Title List menu you can edit video content on unfinalized VR mode DVD discs, as well as video content on the internal hard disk drive (HDD). The editing features available in the Title List menu depend on whether you are editing video on a VR mode DVD, or the HDD, and whether you're editing Original content, or a Playlist.

With unfinalized Video mode DVDs, there are a limited number of editing commands, including naming and erasing titles. Once a Video mode disc has been finalized, further editing is not possible. You can still use the Title List menu to select titles for playback.

There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RW discs. You can directly edit the Original content of the disc, or you can create and edit a Playlist. The Playlist doesn't actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how the content is played back.

Editing material recorded on the HDD is similar to editing the Original content of a VR mode DVD-RW, with similar commands for erasing and naming titles, as well as fine control over the content of chapters within titles for DVD disc.

Note

During recording, if you display the Title List menu for the HDD, some of the titles may appear with a mark. These titles were recorded with a Line Input setting different to the current setting of the recorder. During recording, these titles cannot be played.

1 Choose a media (HDD or DVD) to edit using HOME menu. (see page 30).
2 Press MENU/LIST to display the Title List menu. Playback should be stopped when you do this.

• You can also access it using HOME menu, select TITLE LIST then press ENTER.
• When selecting titles, use the ▲ / ▼ buttons to display the previous/next page if there are more than six titles.
• If you are editing a VR mode disc, press MENU/LIST to switch between Original and Playlist menu.

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Titles in the disc's original content contain one or more chapters. When you insert a disc's title into the Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are sections of Original or Playlist titles. From the Original and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts. Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the Original or Playlist menu.

Caution

• When editing using the Delete, Add and Move functions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as set in the start and end point display.
• During Playlist playback, you may notice a momentary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Adding Chapter Markers

You can put a chapter marker anywhere in a Playlist or Original title during recording or playback.

Once the chapter is marked, you can use the Chapter Search feature, as well as delete, combine and move chapters in the Chapter List-Original or Chapter List-Playlist menu.

You can insert up to 999 chapter markers in both the Original and Playlist contents.

ote

In Video mode, chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals automatically. You can change this interval from the Initial Setup menu (see Auto Chapter on page 28).

Introduction

Use the copying features of this recorder to:

• Back up important recordings stored on the HDD to a DVD.
• Make a DVD copy of a recording on the HDD to play in another player.
• Transfer video from a DVD to the HDD for editing.
• Transfer edited video from the HDD to DVD.

The simplest method of copying is to use the One Touch Copy feature. Using this you can very simply copy the title that's currently playing from HDD to DVD, or the other way around.

Restrictions on copying

Some video material is copy-once protected. This means that it can be recorded to HDD, but it can't then be freely copied again. If you want to transfer copy-once protected material from HDD to DVD, you'll need to use a VR mode DVD-RW disc compatible with CPRM Ver. 1.1 (see CPRM on page 46 for more on this), and the following restrictions apply:

After copying a copy-once protected title to DVD it is automatically erased from the HDD. It is not therefore possible to copy a locked title that is copy-once protected.

You can identify copy-once protected material during playback by displaying disc information on-screen.

- A media in NTSC format can not be copied.

Copyright

Recording equipment should be used only for lawful copying and you are advised to check carefully what is lawful copying in the country in which you are making a copy. Copying of copyright material such as films or music is unlawful unless permitted by a legal exception or consented to by the right owners.

High-speed copying

Copying between DVD and HDD is a completely digital process and therefore involves no loss of quality in the audio or video. This means that you can transfer back and forth without having to worry about the quality getting worse with each copy 'generation'. It also means that copying can be carried out at the maximum speed possible.

When copying from HDD to DVD, the speed of copying depends on the recording mode and the kind of DVD disc you're using.

One Touch Copy (HDD to DVD)

The One Touch Copy feature copies the currently playing title from the HDD to DVD. The whole title is copied, regardless of where in the title you start copying. The recorder copies at the maximum speed possible.

For One Touch Copy to work, make sure that a recordable DVD-R/RW disc is loaded.

During HDD playback, press DUBBING to copy the current title to DVD.

The on-screen display indicates that the title is being copied. Playback continues while copying.

• Title name, chapter markers, as well as thumbnail picture markers for the Title List menu, are also copied. However, if you copy to a Video mode DVD-R/RW, only the first 32 characters of a name are copied.
• The chapter markers in the copy may not be in exactly the same positions as the original when recording on to a Video mode disc.
• You can't use the One Touch Copy function to copy a title if any part of the title is copy-once protected.
• A title that contains mixed aspect ratios can't be copied to a Video mode disc. Use a VR mode DVD-RW disc for this type of material.
• Low resolution (LQ) widescreen material can't be copied to a Video mode disc. Use a VR mode DVD-RW disc for this type of material.

One Touch Copy (DVD to HDD)

One Touch Copy from DVD to HDD copies a single title to the HDD in real time. When you start copying, playback jumps back to the start of the title, then continues through to the end of the title, when recording automatically stops. The copy will be made in the recording mode (HQ, SQ, LQ) that is currently set.

During DVD playback, press DUBBING to copy the current title to HDD.

Playback starts again from the beginning of the current title. The on-screen display indicates that the title is being copied.

Notes

• The maximum title length for copying is 6 hours.
- The copying stops when then recorder detects a badly scratched or copy protected part.
- Title name and chapter markers are also copied, except when copying from a finalized Video mode disc.
- Thumbnail picture markers and chapter markers for the Title List menu are copied, but their position in the copy may be slightly changed from the original.
- If some part of the title being copied is copy-protected, copying will start, but the copy-protected portions will not be copied.
