Dubbing
You can dub clips from a P2 card onto a tape that
has been inserted into the unit.
Only clips recorded in 1080i and 720P formats
can be dubbed. In either case, the image signal is
downconverted, reduced to SQUEEZE size, and
recorded in DV format.
Be aware that you cannot dub clips recorded in
DVCPRO50/DVCPRO/DV format onto a tape.
• Check to see if the tape is in a write-protected
state. (During the dubbing operation, an error
message does not appear.)
• Insert the P2 card and tape into the unit, and set
the MEDIA switch to the TAPE position. (Pages

• When recording for the purpose of dubbing, it is
recommended that a slightly higher setting (+5 or
so) be used for the DETAIL LEVEL item on the
SCENE FILE screen of the setting menu.
