AUDIO/VIDEO DUBBING
Audio/video dubbing lets you record new audio and video from another VCR on a
previously recorded tape in the camera/recorder.

NOTES:
• If your VCR has a single (mono) audio output, connect either the left or right audio plug to
the audio output of the VCR.
• If no video and audio plugs are connected, new audio and video from the
camera/recorder's built-in microphone and camera is dubbed onto the tape.
• If the AV dub/pause mode continues for more than 5 minutes, the camera/recorder will
automatically enter the stop mode to protect the tape from damage.
• If your TV has an "S-VIDEO IN" jack, connect the "S-VIDEO" plug (black) to the TV
instead of the "VIDEO IN" plug (yellow).
1. Insert a recorded tape.
Be sure that the red record-protect tab is not closed.
2. Slide the power switch to "VIDEO".
3. Aim the remote controller at the receiver of the camera/recorder.
4. Press "PLAY" button and then "REW" or "F.FWD" button to search to the
approximate area on the tape where you want to begin your dub.

dubbing, then press "PAUSE" button.

then press "COUNTER RESET" button to set the counter reading to "0:00:00M".

start dubbing.
8. Press "PLAY" button, and when the exact position that you start to dub is reached,
press "PAUSE" button.
