Recording pictures from a VCR (Continued) 3 Connect your VCR as a player to your camcorder. When an i.LINK cable is connected, the format of the input signal ( or ) will be indicated on the LCD screen of your camcorder (This indicator may appear on the screen of the playback device but it will not be recorded). 4 Insert a cassette into the VCR. 5 Set your camcorder to recording pause. While pressing X (PAUSE), press both z REC (record) buttons simultaneously. 6 Start playing the cassette on your VCR.

When you monitor a movie on a TV connected to your camcorder via the A/V remote connector, images may be distorted or not be displayed. Jittering will not affect recording of the movie on a tape with your camcorder but may affect recording of the movie with another VCR connected to your camcorder via the A/V remote connector. z Tips • When a 4:3 video signal is input, it appears with black bands on the right and left sides on the screen of your camcorder.
