Recording (Dubbing) Images

Recording (Dubbing) Images from Other Video Device

You can record (dub) images from other video devices to disc or card in this DVD Video Camera.
Use the AV/S input/output cable (provided) to connect the DVD Video Camera to the other AV device as
follows:
1Set the input source on
the DVD Video Camera to
“LINE (L IN)”.
Switch the input referring
to “Input Source” on
page88.
Choose “S LINE” to input S-VIDEO signal (Only
for VDR-M75PP/VDR-M95PP).
2Turn on the connected device, and start
playback.
The picture will appear on the LCD screen or
viewfinder of this DVD Video Camera.
3Press the REC button.
Recording will start on this DVD Video Camera.
The operation of this line-input recording is the
same as for recording movie.
Note:
•If you operate the DVD Video Camera connected to
another device, always power the DVD Video Camera
from household AC outlet using the AC adaptor.
•With VDR-M75PP/VDR-M95PP, using S-VIDEO will
enable you to record clearer images.
•The VDR-M53PP/VDR-M55PP cannot record S-VIDEO
input.
•Reduce the volume of external input sound heard from
the built-in speaker: The loud volume may cause noise to
enter the recorded image.
•The recorded contents can be played back in the same
manner as when playing back camera images recorded
on this DVD Video Camera.
•Still images can also be recorded on DVD-RAM disc or
card. See “Switching External Input Recording Method
(PHOTO Input)” on page88 for details, and “Recording
Stills” on page52 for how to record still images.
•The “Input Source” setting will return to “CAMERA”
whenever DVD Video Camera is turned off.
•Recording of most images is prohibited by the copy-
guard signal to protect the copyright, except for images
recorded on camcorders for personal enjoyment. “COPY
PROTECTED” appears in these images: they cannot be
recorded on this DVD Video Camera.
Typical copyright protected images include those of DVD
video, LD, recorded video tapes, some parts of digital
satellite broadcasts, etc.
•If a video signal that cannot be read by this DVD Video
Camera is present - even in images recorded on the DVD
Video Camera for personal enjoyment without copy-
guard signal - the input image may not be recorded
normally.
•If the input signal is interrupted by switching the channel
on TV or switching the signal using video selector (see
“Terminology” on page147), normal recording cannot be
performed.
Before You Begin
•Before connecting this DVD Video Camera to another device, be sure to
turn both devices off.
•Insert a recordable disc or card in this DVD Video Camera (see P. 28, 30).
