NOTES

We recommend powering the camcorder using the compact power adapter.

When recording to a VCR using an analog

connection –connection type 4 ( 66)–, the quality of the edited tape will be lower than that of the original.

When recording to a digital video recorder using the HDV/DV terminal –connection type ( 66)–:

- If the picture does not appear, disconnect the DV cable and restore the connection after a short while or turn the camcorder off and then on again.

-Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all digital devices equipped with a DV terminal. If

the operation does not work, use the AV/ terminal.

You cannot record to an external device using the HDMI connection –connection type 3 –.

Analog Line-In Recording

You can input video from an analog video source (VCR, TV, etc.) and record the input video on the tape in the camcorder in DV standard. Analog video cannot be converted to HDV standard.
