on a “Memory Stick.”

• Your camcorder can only record from a PAL source.
For example, French video or TV programs
(SECAM) cannot be recorded correctly. See
page 114 for details on TV color systems.
• If you use a 21-pin adaptor to input PAL source, you
need a dual direction 21-pin adaptor (optional).
