Recording from a VCR, TV or Analog Camcorder (Analog Line-in)

You can record a TV program or a video played on your VCR or analog camcorder (for digital camcorders, see p. 81) onto a tape in the ELURA2/ELURA2 MC, if the TV or other device has audio/video outputs.

•If an anomalous signal is sent from the TV or VCR, the images recorded on the tape may also be anomalous (although it may not appear so on the TV image), or not recorded at all.

•You are unable to dub tapes recorded with the copyright protective signal.
