When “Time Limit” is set to “Off” in Step 5 above:

remaining capacity of the disc for transfer (copying) of only the 
recorded parts in the video cassette (unrecorded parts will not 
be recorded).
≥When you press [ENTER] to start transfer (copy), the tape is 
automatically fast-forwarded to the end and then fast-rewound 
to the beginning before the transfer (copying) is actually started. 
It may take time to start transfer (copy). If the remaining 
capacity of the disc is insufficient, the transfer (copying) will be 
stopped in the middle.
≥The recording is divided into titles every time the tape index 
signals are detected.
When “Time Limit” is set to “On” in Step 5 above:
≥The recording mode is automatically determined by estimating 
the remaining capacity of the disc for transfer (copying) of the 
contents equivalent to the recording time set from the start point 
of the transfer (copying) on the video cassette (unrecorded 
parts will also be recorded).
≥The recording is not divided into titles.
