Using this you can very simply copy the title that's currently playing from HDD to DVD, or the other way around. For more complicated copying tasks you can make a Copy List which specifies very precisely what needs to be copied. A Copy List is very similar to a VR mode Play List in many ways, and you'll find that the Copy List commands are very similar to those available for editing a Play List. Compatible with single speed recording only Compatible with 2x speed recording *3 Compatible with 4x speed recording *2 Note · Not all discs are compatible with high-speed copying. · There may be cases where even 2x/4x compatible discs do not copy at full speed. · Discs initialized on another recorder are not compatible with high-speed copying. Real-time copying Real-time copying is also possible, with the advantage that you can use a different recording mode from the original. For example, you can record a title originally recorded in FINE mode in SP mode. When real-time copying from the HDD to a Video mode DVD, the chapter markers in the original material are not copied. Chapter markers are put into the copy at intervals, according to the Auto Chapter (Video) setting (see also Auto Chapter (Video) on page 97). 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. The table below shows the minimum copying time for one hour of material: Frame accuracy and copying The Frame Accurate setting (see Frame Accurate on page 97) does not affect the actual video content on the HDD, but it does affect what can be copied and whether high-speed copying can be used. When Frame Accurate is set to Off, high-speed copying can generally be used to copy titles in the Copy List, using a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc in VR or Video mode. However, copy-once protected material can't be added to the Copy List, and the divide points in edited titles may be out by as much as 0. 5 seconds when compared to the orginal. [. . . ] See also Chapter. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio. Track Audio CDs and Video CDs use tracks to divide up the content of a disc. [. . . ]
