Dubbing/Editing
• When dubbing to a DVD recorder from your
camcorder in DV format through an i.LINK
cable, you may not operate your camcorder on
your DVD recorder even its instruction manual
says you can.
If you can set the input mode to DV on your
DVD recorder and can input/output pictures,
follow the steps in “Dubbing to another device.”
• When you use an i.LINK cable, the video and
sound signals are transmitted digitally,
producing high quality pictures.
• When an i.LINK cable is connected, the format
of the output signal ( or
) will be indicated on the LCD screen of
your camcorder.
Recording pictures
from a VCR
You can record pictures from a VCR on a
tape. You can record a scene as a still image
on a “Memory Stick Duo.” Be sure to insert
a cassette or a “Memory Stick Duo” for
recording in your camcorder beforehand.
You can connect your camcorder to a VCR
device using an i.LINK cable.
Connect your camcorder to the wall socket
using the supplied AC Adaptor for this
operation (p. 11). Refer also to the
instruction manuals supplied with the
devices to be connected.
• You need an i.LINK cable for this operation.
• Your camcorder can only record from a PAL
source. For example, French video or TV
programs (SECAM) cannot be recorded
correctly. See page 107 for details on TV color
systems.
• If you use a 21-pin adaptor (optional) to input
the PAL source, you need a dual direction 21-
pin adaptor (optional).
