Converting Analog Signals into Digital Signals (Analog-Digital Converter)

By connecting the camcorder to a VCR or 8mm video camcorder, you can convert analog video/audio signals to digital signals and output the digital signals via the DV terminal. The DV terminal serves as output terminal only.

Turn off all devices before starting the connections. Unload the tape from the camcorder. Refer also to the instruction manual of the connected device. Use the optional CV-150F (4 pin–4 pin) or CV-250F (4 pin–6 pin) DV Cable.

You can also connect a VCR with S (S1)-VIDEO terminal ( 34).
