?T ransfer video from a DVD to the HDD for

?T ransfer edited video from the HDD to DVD.
The
simplest
method of
copying
is to use the One
Touch
Copy
feature.
Using
this
you
can
very simply
copy
the title that's
currently playing
from HDD to
DVD,
or the other
way
around.
Restrictions on
copying
Some video material is
copy-once protected.
This
means that it can be recorded to
HDD,
but it can't then
be
freely copied again.
If
you
want to transfer
copy-
once
protected
material from HDD to
DVD,
you'll
need
to use a VR mode DVD-RW disc
compatible
with CPRM
Ver. 1.1
(see
CPRM on
page
46 for more on
this),
and
the
following
restrictions
apply:
After
copying
a
copy-once protected
title to DVD it is
automatically
erased from the HDD. It is not therefore
possible
to
copy
a locked title that is
copy-once protect-
ed.
You can
identify copy-once protected
material
during
playback by displaying
disc information on-screen.
?Amedia in NTSC format can not be
copied.
Copyright
Recording equipment
should be used
only
for lawful
copying
and
you
are advised to check
carefully
what is
lawful
copying
in the
country
in which
you
are
making
a
copy. Copying
of
copyright
material such as films or
music is unlawful unless
permitted by
a
legal exception
or consented to
by
the
right
owners.
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 get-
ting
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.
One Touch

DVD)
