Notes on recording from a connected VCR or camcorder

Check the condition of the source equipment before playing.

Set the equipment in a good condition, e.g. clean the head or adjust the tracking, etc. to obtain optimum playback. Bad conditions may produce noises in playback. These noises may be detected as copy protection signals, resulting in a stoppage of the recording.

Play a source in an usual mode. Avoid using any correcting or enhancing features, as they may add signals which can be detected as copy protection signals.

Source quality or tape condition beyond adjustments on the source equipment may stop a recording on this recorder.

Do not operate the source equipment during recording on this recorder.

Operations such as pausing, resuming, fast-forwarding (CUE) and fast-reversing (REVIEW), etc. may produce noises, which may be detected as copy protection signals. Therefore, first start playback on the source equipment to confirm that the desired source can be played properly, and then start recording on this recorder.

Do not operate the source equipment during recording. After completing the desired scene, stop the recording on the recorder, and then stop the playback on the source equipment. Delete unnecessary scenes using editing functions ( page 55). If you want to operate the source equipment during recording, pause or stop the recording. After operating the source equipment, resume the recording as above.

When recording from a camcorder

Follow the above notes. Be sure to power the camcorder with its AC adapter, not batteries. If batteries are run down, the recording may not be finished completely.
