Recording from Other Video Devices

You can record images from a VCR or TV connected through the S-terminal or AV terminal (analog line-in), as well as images from other digital camcorders connected through the DV terminal onto the memory card as movies.

The data code of the movie will reflect the date and time it has been recorded onto the memory card.

1.Connect the camcorder to the other device.

S-video/AV terminal: See “Connections for Playback on a TV Screen” ( 32).

There is no need to load a cassette if you only record a movie onto the memory card. If a cassette is inserted, make sure the cassette is in stop mode.

You can record up to 10 seconds in 320 240 and 30 seconds in 160 120.

Press the start/stop button to end recording.

The camcorder starts to write the movie to the memory card when recording is finished.

You can also start recording during record pause mode by pressing the start/stop button.

Notes:

When dubbing to a tape via the DV terminal, make sure that AVaDV is not displayed on the screen. If so, set AVaDV OUT to OFF in the menu ( 92).

If you record a movie to a memory card that was originally recorded in the 16:9 mode for wide screen TVs, the image will appear to be vertically “squashed” (compressed).
