Recording pictures from a TV or VCR device, etc. (DCR-HC36E/HC46E/HC96E)

You can record pictures or TV programs from a TV or VCR device, etc., on a tape or a “Memory Stick Duo.” You can also record a scene as a still image on a “Memory Stick Duo.” Be sure to insert a cassette or a “Memory Stick Duo” for recording in your camcorder beforehand.

You can connect your camcorder to a TV or VCR device, etc. or an i.LINK-compatible device using the A/V connecting cable (1), the A/V connecting cable with S VIDEO (2), or the i.LINK cable (3).

Connect your camcorder to the wall socket using the supplied AC Adaptor for this operation (p. 9). Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with the devices to be connected.

•You cannot record pictures on your camcorder from a TV or VCR device, etc. that does not have an output jack.

•Your camcorder can only record from a PAL source. For example, French system video/broadcasts (SECAM) will not be recorded correctly. See page 118 for details on TV color systems.

•If you use a 21-pin adaptor to input PAL source, you need a dual direction 21-pin adaptor (optional).

•For DCR-HC96E:

To record pictures from a TV, connect your camcorder to the output jack of the TV using the A/V connecting cable.

•For DCR-HC44E/HC46E/HC94E/HC96E:

Do not insert/eject the cassette while your camcorder is on the Handycam Station. This may cause a malfunction.
