IMPORTANT
Blank sections may be recorded as

If the picture does not appear, disconnect the
DV cable and restore the connection after a
short while or turn the camcorder off and then
on again.
Do not connect any devices to the
camcorder’s USB terminal while an external
device is connected to the HDV/DV terminal.
You can only record video signals in HDV
standard (1080i specifications) or in DV
standard. Note that signals from identically
shaped DV (IEEE1394) terminals may be in
different video standards.
NOTES
We recommend powering the camcorder using
the compact power adapter.
Copyright Signal
Certain software tapes are copyright
protected. If you attempt to play back such
tapes, “COPYRIGHT PROTECTED
PLAYBACK IS RESTRICTED” appears and
you will not be able to view the contents of
the tape. If you attempt to record from such
tapes via the HDV/DV terminal,
“COPYRIGHT PROTECTED DUBBING
RESTRICTED” appears and you will not be
able to record the contents of the tape.
Analog/Digital Conversion
Using the camcorder you can convert
analog video signals (for example from a
VCR) to digital signals (DV standard only)
and output them to a digital recording
device.
Connecting
Connect the camcorder to the video input
source using an analog connection
–connection type ( 71)– shown in the
previous section Connection Diagrams.
Connect the camcorder to the recording
device using the digital connection
–connection type ( 71)– shown in the
same section. Verify that the DV terminal on
the external digital device is compatible with
the DV standard.
Converting the Video
1 Set [AV DV] to [ ON] ( 42).
2 Start the playback on the video
source and the recording on the
recording device.
Refer to the instruction manuals of the
connected devices.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the signal sent from the
connected device, the conversion from analog
to digital signals might not work properly (e.g.,
signals that include copyright protective signals
or anomalous signals such as ghost signals).
Usually, leave [AV DV] set to the default
setting [ OFF]. While it is set to [ ON],
you cannot connect video input signals to the
camcorder using the HDV/DV terminal.
