Using Audio/Video Dubbing
Use audio/video dubbing to record audio and video from the camera/recorder's built-in
microphone and camera onto a previously recorded tape in the camera/recorder.

television.
3. Connect the free square plug to the AV IN/OUT jack of your camera/recorder.
4. Insert a previously recorded tape in the camera/recorder.
5. Use the wireless remote control and press the PLAY button. Use the PLAY, F.FWD,
and REW buttons to find the place where you want to stop dubbing. Press the PAUSE
(START/STOP) button.

COUNTER RESET button to set the linear time counter to 0:00:00M.
7. Use the REW and PLAY buttons to find where you wish to start dubbing. Press the
PAUSE (START/STOP) button.

the dubbed portion.
