VCR that has audio/video inputs. You can edit with little deterioration of picture and
sound quality when using the DV connecting cable.
Before editing
Connect the camcorder to the VCR using the VMC-2DV/4DV DV connecting cable (not
supplied) or the supplied A/V connecting cable.
Using the DV connecting cable
Simply connect the VMC-2DV/4DV DV connecting cable (not supplied) to DV IN/OUT
and to DV IN/OUT of the DV products. With digital-to-digital connection, video and
audio signals are transmitted in digital form for high-quality editing.
Notes on editing when using the DV connecting cable
• You can connect one VCR only.
• You can record picture, sound and system data at the same time on the DV products
by using the DV connecting cable only.
• You cannot edit the titles, display indicator or the contents of cassette memory.
• If you record playback pause picture with the DV IN/OUT jack, the recorded picture
becomes rough. And when you playback the picture using the other video
equipment, the picture may jitter.
• You can also use the camcorder as a recorder with this connection. In this case “DV
IN” indicator appears on the screen.
• When you use the camcorder as a recorder, the color balance may be incorrect on the
monitor screen. But this is not recorded on the tape.
