1Set [AV DV] to [ ON] ( 33).
2 Start the playback on the video source and the recording on the recording device.
Refer to the instruction manuals of the connected devices.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the signal sent from the connected device, the conversion from analog to digital signals might not work properly (e.g., signals that include copyright protective signals or anomalous signals such as ghost signals).
Usually, leave [AV DV] set to the default
setting [ OFF]. While it is set to [ ON] you cannot connect video input signals to the camcorder using the HDV/DV terminal.
