Notes on recording from a connected VCR or camcorder
Check the condition of the source equipment before playing.
Set the equipment in good condition, e.g. clean the head or adjust the tracking, etc. to obtain optimum playback.
Bad conditions may produce noises in playback. These noises may be detected as copy protection signals,
resulting in stop of recording on this recorder.
Play a source in an usual mode. Avoid using any correcting or enhancing features, as they may add signals
which can be detected as copy protection signals.
Source quality or tape condition beyond adjustments on the source equipment may stop a recording on this
recorder.
Do not operate the source equipment during recording on this recorder.
Operations such as pausing, resuming, fast-forwarding (CUE) and fast-reversing (REVIEW), etc. may produce
noises, which may be detected as copy protection signals. Therefore, first start playback on the source
equipment to confirm that the desired source can be played properly, and then start recording on this recorder.
Do not operate the source equipment during recording. After completing the desired scene, stop the recording on
the recorder, and then stop the playback on the source equipment. Delete unnecessary scenes using editing
functions (
page 118). If you want to operate the source equipment during recording, pause or stop the
recording. After operating the source equipment, resume the recording as above.
When recording from a camcorder
Follow the above notes. Be sure to power the camcorder by its AC adapter, not batteries. If batteries are used,
the recording may be finished on the way.
