*5 Auto Blank-Cut Dubbing
When dubbing from VHS, if there are blanks of more than 2 seconds on the VHS tape, the HDD/DVD will enter into pause mode. Dubbing will resume once recorded part is detected. This prevents useless recordings.
*6 Auto Title Creation Dubbing
When dubbing from the VHS tape, if there are multiple index signals (VISS signals) within a tape, a title (programme) per VISS signal will be automatically created on the HDD/DVD. During that time, dubbing will stop temporarily.
