Duplicate
If you copy a source tape, using the DUP (duplicate) button on this VCR,
you can copy the time code 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 VCR works only when using a source tape
recorded in DVCAM format and making DV connections.
