Recording to a VCR

You can copy your recordings by connecting the camcorder to a VCR or a digital video device. For a connection diagram showing how to connect the camcorder to a VCR see the previous section Playing Back on a TV Screen ( 100).

1.Set the camcorder to play movies ( ) and load a recorded disc.

2.Connected device: Load a blank cassette and set the device to record pause mode.

3.This camcorder: Locate the scene you wish to copy and pause playback shortly before the scene.

4.This camcorder: Resume the movie playback.

5.Connected device: Begin recording when the scene you wish to copy appears. Stop recording when copying is complete.

6.This camcorder: Stop playback.

We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power outlet.

The quality of the edited tape will be lower than that of the original.

By default, the on-screen displays will be embedded in the output video signal, but you can select to turn off the screen displays or select the data that will be displayed instead ( 43).
