Connecting an External VCR

You can use a following external VCR connected to the VTR connector (26-pin) for recording.

VCR	Connecting cable
BVW-50/50P/35/35P	CCZ-A Camera cable (max. length
(portable)	10 m (33 ft.))
VO-8800/6800	CCZQ-A Camera cable (max. length
(U-matic)	10 m (33 ft.))

Notes

•This is no power supply connection between the camcorder and VCR. Provide separate power supplies.

•The VTR connector always outputs the signals from the camera (impossible to output the playback video of the internal VCR), and disallows the CCU connection.
