Recording to a VCR or Digital Video Device
You can copy your recordings by connecting the camcorder to a VCR or a digital video
device. If you connect a digital video device, you can copy recordings with virtually no
generation loss in image and sound quality.
When connecting a VCR:
❍
Make sure that “
H
” is not displayed on the screen. If “
H
” is displayed, change
the setting (

❍
The quality of the edited tape will be slightly lower than that of the original.
When connecting a digital video device:
❍
You can connect only one device to the camcorder with the DV cable.
❍
Blank sections may be recorded as anomalous picture.
❍
If the picture does not appear, reconnect the DV cable or turn the camcorder
off and back on again.
