Recording from a VCR, TV or Analog Camcorder (Analog Line-in)

You can record a video played on your VCR or analog camcorder (for digital camcorders, see p. 88) or a TV program onto a tape in the MV550i/MV530i, if the TV or other device has audio/video outputs.

•If an anomalous signal is sent from the TV or VCR, the images recorded on the tape may also be anomalous (although it may not appear so on the TV image), not recorded at all, or COPYRIGHT PROTECTED DUBBING RESTRICTED may appear in the display.

•You are unable to dub tapes recorded with the copyright protective signal.

•For higher picture quality, we recommend using the optional S-150 S-video cable when doing analog line-in recording.
