Hints
• The date and time of the recording made with your digital video
camera is assigned as the program name in the DV/D8 Edit List
(page 84) (example: DV 10/25/03 10:00PM – 10/31/03 11:30PM).
• If you set "Finalize Disc" to "Auto" in Features Setup (page 98), the
recorded disc will automatically be finalized after recording is
finished.
Notes
• The recorder does not start One Touch Dub when you set "Add to Edit
List" to "On" (default) in Features Setup (page 98) and there are
already twenty programs on the recorder. In this case, the recorder
beeps and the front panel display lights up. Delete unnecessary
programs from the DV/D8 Edit List menu (page 84) and repeat the
steps above.
• When a blank space on the tape continues for more than five minutes,
One Touch Dub ends automatically.
• This function may not work with certain digital video cameras. In this
case, follow the instructions of "Recording From Equipment
Connected to the LINE IN Jacks" (page 88).
• In order for a One Touch Dub recording to be added to the DV/D8 Edit
List, "Add to Edit List" in Features Setup must be set to "On" (default)
(page 98).
