Dubbing to another tape

Connecting a VCR

You can copy a picture played back on your camcorder to other recording devices (such as VCRs).

Connect your camcorder to a VCR as shown in the following illustration.

To dub to an HDV compatible device

Connect your camcorder to an HDV compatible device using an i.LINK cable (optional).

Player Recorder

HDV/DV jack

Signal flow

i.LINK cable (optional)

HDV/DV jack

To select the video format to be dubbed

The video format to be dubbed depends on the settings of [VCR HDV/DV] and [i.LINK

CONV] on the (IN/OUT REC) menu. Before setting these menu items, disconnect the i.LINK cable.

•Pictures will be dubbed in the recorded format when [VCR HDV/DV] is set to [AUTO] and [i.LINK CONV] is set to [OFF].

•Pictures, including those recorded in the HDV format, will be dubbed in the DV format when [VCR HDV/DV] is set to [AUTO], and [i.LINK CONV] is set to [ON].

•Only pictures in the selected format will be dubbed when [VCR HDV/DV] is set to [HDV] or [DV]. Other pictures will be dubbed as blank portions, so neither picture nor sound will be dubbed.

bNote

•If you change the settings of [VCR HDV/DV] and [i.LINK CONV] with the i.LINK cable connected, the video device may not be able to recognize the video signal from the camcorder at the time of dubbing.

•When [VCR HDV/DV] is set to [AUTO] and the signal switches between HDV and DV, the picture and sound disappear temporarily.

•When the recorder is an HDR-FX1E, set [VCR

HDV/DV] on the (IN/OUT REC) menu to [AUTO] on the recording HDR-FX1E (p. 74).
