Duplication (generating a work tape with the same time code)

If you copy a source tape using the DUP (duplicate)
button on this unit, you can copy the time codes
recorded on the source tape as they are. You can easily
make a work tape having the same time codes as the
source tape.
The duplicate function on this unit works only when
using a source tape recorded in DVCAM format and
making DV connections.
This unit functions as a recorder. The duplicate
function on this unit works only when you duplicate a
tape in the DVCAM format. Make sure to change the
DVCAM/DV select switch to DVCAM before
duplicating a tape.
To set the duplicate mode
This unit has three duplicate modes.
Set DUPLICATE on the VTR SET menu to select a
duplicate mode as follows.

automatically rewind the tape to the beginning to
start duplicating. The cassette memory is also
duplicated.
AUTOq (AUTO TAPE COPY): The player and
the recorder automatically rewind the tape to the
beginning to start duplicating. The cassette
memory is not duplicated.
MANUALq (MANUAL TAPE COPY): The tape
is duplicated from any location. The cassette

Duplicating a tape
The duplicate procedure differs depending on the
duplicate mode.

duplicate process may be interrupted and the tape
may not be correctly duplicated. Do not operate the
player while duplicating.

Notes

the source tape is dropped on the copied tape.
• Set auto repeat to OFF when the player has an auto
repeat function and set auto rewind to ON when the
player has an auto rewind function.
• Set still timer to the longest time possible to ensure
enough time for rewinding the tape to the beginning
when the player has a still timer function.

the cassette memory will be duplicated after the tape
has been duplicated. While the cassette memory is
being duplicated, an indicator showing the progress
of the duplication appears on the LCD monitor and
on the VIDEO OUT1 output. Duplicating the cassette
memory takes up to a few minutes depending on the
amount of data. Duplication of the cassette memory
