Dubbing To Or From A Video Unit Equipped With A DV Connector (Digital Dubbing)

It is also possible to copy recorded scenes from the camcorder onto another video unit equipped with a DV connector. Since a digital signal is sent, there is little if any image or sound deterioration.

If the remote control is used when both the player and recorder are JVC video units, both units will perform the same operation. To prevent this from happening, press the buttons on both units.

For Digital Dubbing, this camcorder can be connected only to one device at a time.

If a blank portion or disturbed image is played back on the player during dubbing, the dubbing may stop so that an unusual image is not dubbed.

If “Playback Zoom” (  pg. 50), “Playback Special Effects” (  pg. 51) or “Snapshot” is attempted during playback, only the original playback image recorded on the tape is output from the DV OUT connector.
