Recording to a VCR

You can copy your recordings by connecting the camcorder to a VCR or a digital video
device. For a connection diagram showing how to connect the camcorder to a VCR see
the previous section Playing Back on a TV Screen (

102).

1. Set the camcorder to play movies (

) and load a recorded

disc.

2. Connected device: Load a blank cassette and set the device to record

pause mode.

3. This camcorder: Locate the scene you wish to copy and pause

playback shortly before the scene.

4. This camcorder: Resume the movie playback.

appears. Stop recording when copying is complete.
