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.

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.
