DMR-HS2: Panasonic says [i]all dubs[/i] are [i]digital[/i]

[resinger]

On 11/20 I e-mailed Panasonic to get an answer to the following question:

I have a question about the dubbing process. It's clear that high-speed dubs from DVD-RAM to the hard drive and from the hard drive to DVD-RAM are digital dubs. Can you tell me whether dubs made in real-time are *also* digital, or are they analog?

Here is Panasonic's reply, which I received today (11/29):

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Panasonic DMR-HS2 and dubbing. Any time you dub from the Hard Disk in the DMR-HS2 to a DVD-RAM or DVD-R it is done digitally.

Best regards,

Although the HDD to DVD-R dub goes thru a D-A-D process, the PQ is still 10 times better than the VHS to VHS dub.
