Connecting to a TV or VCR | Canon HV20 guide

74Connecting to a TV or VCR

NOTES

We recommend powering the camcorder using the compact power adapter.

You can also use the analog/digital conversion to transfer analog video recordings to a computer as digital video. The required equipment and operation is the same as described in Transferring Video Recordings

( 76) except in this case you need to set

[AV DV] to [ ON] before connecting the camcorder to the computer. Note that the analog/digital conversion may not work correctly depending on the software and the specifications/settings of the computer.
