When copying a title with main and secondary (SAP) audio
≥Select the audio type for recording MTS broadcasts from “Multi-channel TV Sound (MTS)” (l76) when:
- Copying to a DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R, +R DL and +RW.
- When “Audio for XP Recording” is set to “LPCM” (l76) and you are copying in XP mode.
Copying 16:9 aspect titles
The titles are copied in 4:3 aspect if you copy to a DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R, +R DL or +RW.
∫Approximate copying times (Max. speed)
(excludes time required to write data management information)
≥The above rated value indicates the fastest time and speed required for copying one-hour title from HDD to each disc in the above list 
supporting high speed copying.
¢1 On this unit, the copying performance with a 6X Speed DVD-RW will be the same as the performance with a 4X Speed DVD-RW.
¢2 On this unit, the copying performance with a 16X Speed +R will be the same as the performance with a 8X Speed +R.
Note
≥Recording or playing while copying, the unit may not perform the maximum recording speed.
≥Depending on the condition of the disc, copying speed of this unit may vary.
[-R] [-R[DL] [-RW‹V›] [+R] [+R[DL] [+RW] To high speed copy titles (or playlists created from those titles), set “Recording for High-Speed 
Copying” to “On” before recording to the HDD. (The default setting is “On” l75).
However in the following cases, copying to the disc using the high speed mode does not work.
If high-speed copying to a high-speed recording compatible disc ([RAM] 5X, [-R] [+R] 8X or faster):
If you think that the operation sound is too loud, set “Rapidity of High-Speed copying” to “Silent mode” in the Setup menu (l75). However, the 
time required for copying will become longer.
Note
≥If you select a recording mode with better picture quality than the original, the picture quality does not improve. (However it does prevent against 
degradation of picture quality.)
[+R[DL] You cannot select EP mode when you copy to +R DL disc.
≥Copy-protected disc/video tapes cannot be copied. Most disc/video tapes are copy-protected to prevent illegal copying so they cannot be 
copied.
≥Copying is automatically stopped when playback of the source stops or the remaining capacity of the disc is filled. (A message appears on the 
TV screen and then disappears a few seconds later.)

Regarding copying to DVD-R DL (single-sided, Dual Layer) and +R DL (single-sided, Double Layer)
When not using high speed copy, titles are temporarily copied to the HDD at normal speed and then copied at high speed to DVD-R DL and 
+R DL. The titles that were temporarily copied to the HDD are then deleted.
You cannot copy to DVD-R DL and +R DL in the following cases.
≥When there is not enough free space on the HDD. (When copying to a new blank DVD-R DL, if you fill a new disc when copying to it, the 
equivalent of up to 4 hours of free space in SP mode is needed on the HDD.)
≥When the number of titles recorded to the HDD and the number of titles to be copied to the DVD-R DL and +R DL is greater than 500 in total.
When playing a title recorded on both layers, video and audio may momentarily cut out when the unit is switching layers.
Regarding copying of digital broadcasts that allow “One time only recording”
You can copy a recorded title to a CPRM (l93) compatible DVD-RAM, however, the title is deleted from the HDD.
≥Titles or playlists cannot be copied from DVD-RAM to the HDD.
≥You cannot use “One Touch Copy”. Use the “Copy Navigator” (l59) or “Advanced copy (Create List)” (l62).
≥Titles will not be copied if they are protected (l52).
≥You cannot copy playlists created from “One time only recording” titles.
≥Titles with recording limitations and playlists cannot be registered on the same copying list.
Regarding copying from VHS
≥It is not possible to copy a copied “One time only recording” title.
≥If you want to copy to the HDD and then to [-R] [-R[DL] [-RW‹V›] [+R] [+R[DL] [+RW] in high speed mode, set “Recording for High-Speed Copying” 
to “On” before recording to the HDD. 
≥If a part of a tape recorded in VP mode is copied to the HDD or a disc, noise may appear on that part.
Regarding copying to VHS 
≥When copying “One time only recording” titles to VHS, the copy guard signal is also copied. 
- Even when copying to tape the title may not be copied correctly because of the copy guard.

Note about copying
∫Depending on the copy type, copy direction and copy speed, the following restriction are applied to the 
settings and operations while copying.
¢1 In copying from HDD or DVD to VHS, the index signal is 
automatically recorded for each title. You can search desired 
titles with [:] or [9]. (l49)
In copying from VHS to HDD or DVD, the title is divided by index 
signal detected and then recorded. You can search desired titles 
with Direct Navigator’s Title View (l40) after transfer copy.
≥Titles recorded within 15 minutes (25 minutes in VP mode) of 
each other may not be divided properly.
≥The recording time may become longer than the original title 
depending on the number of index signals.
≥When copying index signals it may look as if you are rewinding 
a tape on the screen.
≥When the index signal is recording, may appear that tape 
rewind.
≥If you want to copy without dividing the contents into titles, set 
“Time Limit” to “On” before copying (l64). ([HDD] [RAM] The 
contents are not divided into titles, but chapters are created.)¢2[RAM] [-R[DL] [+R[DL] [+RW]: One title becomes one chapter.
[-R] [-RW‹V›] [+R]: Chapters are created automatically 
([-R] [-RW‹V›] about 5-minutes [+R] about 8-minutes) when 
finalizing after copying the disc.
¢3[HDD] [RAM]  Only when “Time Limit” is set to “On”. (In this case, 
titles are not divided.)
¢4 Thumbnails may return to the default position.
¢5 When copying playlists to, the thumbnails may not reflect 
changes made to them.
¢6 Possible only with titles on the HDD
(However it is not possible when copying with automatic 
finalization or when copying MPEG2 moving pictures from an 
SD card.)
≥You cannot perform chasing play and edit, etc. while copying. 
(You can only perform chasing play when copy from VHS to 
the HDD.)
≥You cannot play a playlist while copying titles with “One time 
only recording” restriction. (l9, Recording of digital 
broadcasting)
≥Still pictures cannot be played.
