Dubbing a tape

You can edit on VCRs that support the following systems

8 mm, Hi8, Digital8, VHS, S-VHS, VHSC, S-VHSC,

Betamax, ED Betamax, mini DV, DV, or MICROMV

If your VCR is a monaural type

Connect the yellow or black plug of the A/V connecting cable to the video or S video input jack on the VCR, and the white or red plug to the audio input jack on the VCR. When the white plug is connected, the left channel audio is output, and when the red plug is connected, the right channel audio is output.

If your VCR has an S video jack

Connect using the S video plug to faithfully obtain original pictures. With this connection, you do not need to connect the yellow (video) plug of the A/V connecting cable. Connect the S video plug to the S video jack of the VCR. This connection produces higher quality MICROMV format pictures.

–Using the i.LINK cable

Simply connect the supplied i.LINK cable to the i.LINK (MICROMV) jack of your camcorder and to the i.LINK (MICROMV) jack of the MICROMV product. With digital- to-digital connection, video and audio signals are transmitted in digital form for high- quality editing. You cannot dub the titles, displayed indicators, the contents of Micro Cassette Memory, or letters on the “Memory Stick” index screen (DCR-IP7BT only). (You cannot connect the camcorder to a DV product.)

(1) Insert a blank tape (or a tape you want to record over) into the recorder, and insert a recorded tape into your camcorder.

Set the input selector to LINE if it is provided. Refer to the operating instructions of the recorder.
