“New”:  To dub scenes recorded on HDD to a DVD, without dubbed marks appearing, beginning with 

the first scene without dubbed mark.

“Date”:  To dub scenes recorded on HDD on the same date to a DVD, beginning with the first scene.
“All”: 

To dub all scenes recorded on HDD to a DVD, beginning with the first scene.

●List of dubbing possible/impossible

●

: Dubbing possible; —: Dubbing impossible

* You cannot specify the combination of “VIDEO Mode: STD” and “16:9 On”.

●Note when dubbing:

• If message “Scene No.xxx is too large. Please divide this Scene before dubbing.” appears during dubbing, the 

dubbing will stop. Divide the specified scene (see page 86), and then dub the divided scenes.

• The maximum number of scenes and programs that can be dubbed will vary depending on the DVD used (see 

page 155).

• With this DVD video camera/recorder, the scenes on HDD will be dubbed to a DVD in the order of display on 

HDD Disc Navigation screen. To dub the scenes in a different order, create a play list on which scenes are 
registered in the desired order of dubbing (see page 98), and then execute dubbing.

Before You Begin

• Set the power switch to “HDD”.
• Prepare a recordable disc.
• The recording time for a scene that can be dubbed on one disc is 

approx. 30 minutes ( in FINE mode). If the HDD contains a scene 
exceeding the length that is recordable on one disc, it cannot be 
dubbed: Divide the scene (see p. 86), and then perform dubbing.

• Be sure to use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video camera/

recorder during dubbing: Dubbing is not possible with a battery 
connected.

• If power is turned off and dubbing is interrupted midway, proper dubbing 

will not be possible.

• The time shown on dubbing is for reference: Dubbing will be performed 

at normal speed in XTRA mode; approx. 2 times the normal in FINE 
mode; approx. 4 times the normal in STD mode.
If the number of scenes on HDD is too large, or the temperature of this 
DVD video camera/recorder is too high, the required recording time may 
be longer than the display time on screen.
