Editing onto another tape
You can create your own video program by editing with any other DV, mini DV,
h 8 mm, H Hi8, j VHS, k S-VHS, VHSC, K S-VHSC or l Betamax VCR
that has audio/video inputs. You can edit with little deterioration of picture and sound
quality when using the DV connecting cable.
Before editing
Connect the camcorder to the VCR using the VMC-2DV DV connecting cable (not supplied)
or the supplied A/V connecting cable.
Using the DV connecting cable
Simply connect the VMC-2DV DV connecting cable (not supplied) to DV IN/OUT and to
DV IN/OUT of the DV products. With digital-to-digital connection, video and audio signals
are transmitted in digital form for high-quality editing.
Notes on editing when using the DV connecting cable
• You can connect one VCR only.
• You can record picture, sound and system data at the same time on the DV products by
using the DV connecting cable only.
• You cannot edit the titles, display indicator or the contents of cassette memory.
• If you record playback pause picture with the DV IN/OUT jack, the recorded picture
becomes rough. And when you playback the picture using the other video equipment, the
picture may jitter.
• You can also use the camcorder as a recorder with this connection. In this case “DV IN”
indicator appears on the screen.
• When you use the camcorder as a recorder, the color balance may be incorrect on the
monitor screen. But this is not recorded on the tape.
