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.

Connecting the Devices

Turn off all devices before starting the connections. Unload the tape from the camcorder. Refer also to the instruction manual of the connected device.

Turning On the Analog-Digital Converter

• Open the menu and select [SIGNAL SETUP]. Select [AV DV], set it to [ON] and close the menu.

AV to DV conversion is only possible when the playback standard is set to DV 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). For normal use, set [AV DV] to [OFF]. If it is set to [ON], digital signals cannot be input via the camcorder's DV terminal. Depending on the software and the specifications of your computer, you may not be able to transfer converted signals via the DV terminal.

We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source.
