Record from a Video Camera or VCR

In addition to recording your favorite TV programs, your HUMAX DVD Recorder can also record from a video camera or VCR—the first step in transferring your home movies to DVD. These recordings appear on the Now Playing list, with titles you choose.

Recordings you make from a video camera or VCR have much in common with recorded TV programs. For example, if the recording causes disk space conflicts or upcoming program schedule conflicts, you will be notified and given the option to continue or cancel. You can also set the recording quality, and specify how long the recording will be saved on the Now Playing list.

While recording from a video camera or VCR, all other Recorder functions are unavailable. No TV programs will be recorded, and you cannot watch live TV, play DVDs or CDs, or watch other recordings from Now Playing.

Setting Up the Recording

1.Connect your video camera or VCR to the Recorder using the inputs on the its front panel. Choose the best input(s) that will work with your video camera or VCR:

S-Video.If you use an S-Video cable to connect your video camera or VCR, you will also need to connect the red and white ends of a Composite A/V cable for audio.

Composite A/V. Use the yellow end of a Composite A/V cable for video, and the red and white ends for audio. If your video camera or VCR has only one audio out jack, use just the white end.

DV. If your video camera or VCR has a DV output jack, this is the best connection to use. A DV cable (not supplied) carries both audio and video.

2.From TiVo Central®, select Pick Programs to Record, then Record from a Video Camera or VCR.
