Dubbing to/from a Tape with Digital Video Equipment

Digital video equipment fitted with the DV terminal lets you edit, copy and

Etransfer data digitally, with virtually no generation loss in image and sound quality. The DV terminal is for both line-in and line-out, since a single DV cable can handle data in both directions.

•If a digital VCR is connected and an anomalous signal is sent from the 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.
