Dubbing to VCR or DVD/HDD recorders
You can dub images played back on your camcorder to other recording devices, such as VCRs
or DVD/HDD recorders. Connect the device in either of the following ways.
Connect your camcorder to the wall outlet using the supplied AC Adaptor for this operation
(p. 30). Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with the devices to be connected.

Notes
• Movies recorded with HD (high definition) image quality will be dubbed with SD (standard
definition) image quality.
• Since dubbing is performed via analog data transfer, the image quality may deteriorate.
• To copy a disc recorded with HD (high definition) image quality, install the application software
(supplied) on your computer (p. 102), and copy the images to a disc in the computer.
