You can select the auto copy mode from the following two auto copy modes. Copy recording to a DVD-RAM disk is executed simultaneously when recording to a hard disk partition. The recording size of a take is limited to the capacity of the hard disk partition or DVD-RAM disk. Immediately mode <Note>: In this mode, if no DVD-RAM disk is set, the PD204 cancels the auto copy mode and returns to the normal recording mode. Immediately after the PD204 ends recording to the partition and stops, the copy starts. In this mode, even if no DVD-RAM disk is set when starting recording, you can start copying by setting a disk later. Back ground mode <Note>: If you turn off the PD204 before setting a DVD-RAM disk, the copy data is erased. <Note>: While the auto copy mode is "On" and a DVD-RAM disk is set to the DVD multi drive, if the partition you are going to record to is formatted in the "DDR" mode (for dual drive recording), dual recording takes priority to auto copy. <Note>: Editing the name or meta data of the file on the partition does not reflect to the data on the DVD-RAM disk. <Note>: Auto copy cannot be canceled by False start. Selecting a partition Select a partition to which audio data is recorded. 1) While the unit is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to light [SHIFT] indicator, followed by the [FILE SEL/DRV. PAT] key.
