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

a cassette or a “Memory Stick Duo” for
recording in your camcorder beforehand.

device using an i.LINK cable.
Connect your camcorder to the wall outlet
using the supplied AC Adaptor for this
