I Have A Sony Hdr-xr500 Handy Cam And I Cannot Figure Out How To Dub Movies

from the internal hard drive to a Memory Stick Pro Duo. I follow the instructions in the manual on page 44. But what appears on my camera touch screen is different than what the manual says. The manual states: Touch (Home), than (others) and then (Movie Dub)/(Photo copy) should appear on the screen. But it does not appear. What appears is: four separate rectangular boxes that have: DELETE; YOUR LOCATION; TV CONNECT Guide; and MUSIC TOOL. So, why is my screen showing something different than what the manual indicates. The manual that came with the camera is from Sony and it has on the cover: HDR-XR500/XR500V/XR520/XR520V. The copywrite date of this manual is 2009 Sony Corporation. Help.
