Converting Analog Signals into DigitalSignals (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.

❍Headphones cannot be used during analog-digital conversion.

❍Unload the tape from the camcorder.

❍Turn off all devices before starting the connections.

❍Depending on the signal sent from the connected device, the conversion from

analog to digital signals might not work properly (e.g., signals that include

copyright protective signals or anomalous signals such as ghost signals, etc.)

We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source.

Connecting the Devices

This illustration shows how to connect using a S-video cable. You can also connect the

yellow plug of the stereo video cable to the VIDEO terminal. Refer also to the

instruction manual of the connected device.
