∫ About FR Mode

When “Time Limit” is set to “Off” in Step 6 above:
≥The recording mode is automatically selected by estimating the 

remaining capacity of the disc for transfer (dubbing) of only the 
recorded parts in the video cassette (unrecorded parts will not 
be recorded).

≥When you press [ENTER] to start transfer (dub), the tape is 

automatically fast-forwarded to the end and then fast-rewound to 
the beginning before the transfer (dubbing) is actually started. It 
may take time to start transfer (dub). If the remaining capacity of 
the disc is insufficient, the transfer (dubbing) 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 6 above:
≥The recording mode is automatically determined by estimating 

the remaining capacity of the disc for transfer (dubbing) of the 
contents equivalent to the recording time set from the start point 
of the transfer (dubbing) on the video cassette (unrecorded parts 
will also be recorded).

≥The recording is not divided into titles.

∫ About TP channel

(TP: Dubbing input channel)
When the TP channel is selected, it becomes possible for DVD to 
receive audio and video signals from VHS. This enables dubbing 
from VHS to DVD.
≥The TP channel can be selected by pressing [DVD] and pressing 

[INPUT SELECT] or [CH, 

W, X] several times.

≥When you play back a tape after turning the channel to “TP”, the 

picture on VHS is displayed on the TV screen. Utilizing this 
feature, you can enjoy the picture on the tape in progressive 
output. (

≥Compared to the TP channel, the DC channel enables VHS to 

receive audio and video signals from DVD.

≥When the DC channel is selected on VHS, you cannot select the 

TP channel on DVD.
