You can only record video signals from devices with the logo from recordings in SD (standard definition) standard, in SP or LP recording mode. Note that signals from identically shaped DV (IEEE1394) terminals may be in different video standards ( 112). We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source. The data code of the image will reflect the date and time it has been recorded on the memory card. An image recorded from an image in widescreen mode will be vertically compressed.

Concerning Copyright

Copyright Precaution
Certain pre-recorded video tapes, films and other materials, as well as some television programmes are copyrighted. Unauthorised recording of these materials may violate copyright protection laws.

Copyright Signals

During playback: If you try to play back a tape that contains copyright control signals for protection of software, COPYRIGHT PROTECTED PLAYBACK IS RESTRICTED appears for a few seconds and the camcorder displays a blank blue screen. You cannot playback the contents of the tape. During recording: If you try to record from software that contains copyright control signals for protection of software, COPYRIGHT PROTECTED DUBBING RESTRICTED appears. You cannot record the contents of the software. You cannot record copyright protection signals to a tape using this camcorder.
Converting Analog Signals into Digital Signals (Analog-Digital Converter)
By connecting the camcorder to a VCR or 8mm video camcorder, you can convert analog video/audio signals to digital signals and output the digital signals via the DV terminal. The DV terminal serves as output terminal only.

Turn off all devices before starting the connections. Unload the tape from the camcorder. Check the type and orientation of the DV terminal and make sure you connect the DV cable properly. Refer also to the instruction manual of the connected device.

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). When connecting to a TV/Video with SCART terminal, use a SCART adapter with input capability (commercially available). The supplied SCART Adapter PC-A10 is for output only. For normal use, set [AV DV] to [OFF]. If it is set to [ON], digital signals cannot be input via the camcorders DV terminal. We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source. Connecting the camcorder to the computer you can also use the analog-digital conversion to transfer analog recordings to your computer as digital signals. The required equipment and operation is the same as when Transferring Video Recordings to a Computer ( 104), except for step 3: In this case set the [AV DV] to [ON]. Check the setting before connecting the camcorder to the computer. The analog-digital conversion may not operate properly depending on the software and the specifications and settings of your computer.

Audio Dubbing

You can transfer recordings to a computer using the IEEE1394 (DV) terminal. You can also use this camcorder to transfer through it recordings from an analog VCR or 8 mm camcorder to your computer using the USB terminal (see Converting Analog Signals into Digital Signals ( 92)). Before starting the video transferring, make sure to prepare the following: A computer equipped with a IEEE1394 (DV) terminal or a IEEE1394 (DV) capturing board. A DV cable (sold separately) Video Editing Software You can use the video editing software that came bundled with your computer or video capturing board. You can also use the video editing software included with your operating system (Windows Movie Maker with Windows XP and Windows ME, iMovie with Mac OS 9 and later). The appropriate driver A driver is included with Windows operating systems later than Windows 98 Second Edition and Mac operating systems later than Mac OS 9. The driver is installed automatically when you connect the camcorder to the computer.
1. Start your computer. 2. Set the camcorder to 3. Check the [AV DV] setting.
If you want to transfer your recordings from the tape, edit the video on the computer and record it back on the tape, set [AV DV] to [OFF]. If you want to convert an analog recording to digital, set [AV DV] to [ON].
4. Connect the camcorder to the computer with the DV cable as shown below.
Check the type and orientation of the DV terminal and make sure you connect the DV cable properly
4-pin 6-pin IEEE1394 (DV) terminal Commercially available DV cable
Operation may not work correctly depending on the software and the specifications/settings of your computer. If the computer freezes while you have connected the camcorder, disconnect and reconnect the DV cable. If the problem persists, disconnect the DV cable, turn off both the camcorder and the computer and then turn them back on and reconnect them. Before connecting the camcorder to the computer using a DV cable make sure that camcorder and computer are not connected with a USB cable, and that no other IEEE1394 device is connected to the computer. Depending on the video editing software you use, you may need to set the switch of the camcorder to a mode other than PLAY. Refer also to the instruction manual of the editing software. We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source while it is connected to the computer. Refer also to the instruction manual of the computer. The programs ZoomBrowser EX and Image Browser included with the supplied CD-ROM are intended for use only with images recorded on the memory card. Video recordings on the tape cannot be transferred to the computer using the software included with the supplied CD-ROM.
