Max. 86x High-speed Copying from 
Hard Disk Drive*

You can perform high-speed recording from the hard disk drive to a 
DVD-RAM (5x speed compatible) or DVD-R (16x speed compatible) at the 
touch of a button. For example, you can record a one-hour program 
(originally recorded in the EP [8H] mode) from the hard disk drive to a 
DVD-RAM disc in just 1.5 minutes, or to a DVD-R disc in only 42 seconds. 
What's more, you can also record from DVD-RAM to the hard disk drive.

* Recording from the hard disk drive to a DVD-R disc is not possible with images for which only 
single-generation recording is allowed. When recording these images to a DVD-RAM disc, the 
original image on the hard disk drive is erased.

One-touch VHS Digitisation  

One-touch 2-way Copying

You can save high-resolution VHS images with even greater beauty onto a DVD 
disc. Simply press a button, and lets you transfer material from a VHS tape to a 
DVD-RAM/DVD-R disc or vice versa. This means you can easily record your entire 
video library to DVD for a collection that takes up much less space. During tape-to
-DVD-RAM transfer, there’s also a handy function that reads recording start (VISS) 
signals on a tape, and automatically creates a program list on the DVD-RAM disc.
