Dubbing from VCR to DVD Dubbing from VCR to DVD
You can copy the contents of a VHS tape to a DVD
using the DUBBING (DUB) button. This allows you to
archive your old VHS tapes to DVD.

close the disc tray.
2. Insert the VHS video tape you wish to copy into
the VCR deck.

want to start dubbing using the PLAY, FF, REW
and PAUSE functions. For best results, pause
playback at the point from which you want to
record.

Control or DUB on the front panel.
The Dubbing menu appears.

start copying.
7. To stop dubbing at any other time, press STOP (x).
Dubbing will stop automatically when the VHS
tape ends.
Note:
If the VHS video tape you are attempting to copy is
copy protected, you will not be able to copy the tape.
It is not permitted to copy Macrovision encoded
tapes.
Tip:
If you press PAUSE during Dubbing mode, both the
DVD and VCR decks go into Pause mode and the
[DUB] indicator blinks on the front panel display.
While in Pause mode, you can adjust the VCR play-

etc. The DVD deck will remain in Pause mode. To
