Connecting a VCR or Similar Device
After disconnecting the recorder’s power cord (mains lead) from the mains, connect a VCR or similar
recording device to the LINE IN jacks of this recorder.
Use the DV IN jack on the front panel if the equipment has a DV output jack (i.LINK jack) (page 75).
See also the instruction manual supplied with the connected equipment.
To record on this recorder, see “Recording from connected equipment without a timer” on page 47.
Connect a VCR or similar recording device to the LINE IN 1 or 3 of this recorder. If the equipment has
an S-video jack, you can use an S-video cord instead of an audio/video cord.
