NOTES

•We recommend powering the camcorder using the compact power adapter.

•When recording to a VCR using an analog connection –connection type

•When recording to a digital video recorder using the DV terminal –connection type (39)–:

-If the picture does not appear, disconnect the DV cable and restore the connection after a short while or turn the camcorder off and then on again.

-Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all digital devices equipped with a DV terminal. If the operation does not work, use the AV terminal.
