Recording from Analog Video Devices (VCR, TV or Camcorder) - ZR60, ZR65mc, and ZR70mc

You can record videos or TV programs from a VCR or analog camcorder onto the tape in the camcorder.

1. Connect the camcorder to the analog video device.
   - Click here for a connection diagram.
   
   
2. Set the camcorder to PLAY (VCR) mode and load a blank cassette.
   
   
3. Connected device: Load the recorded cassette.
   
   
4. Press the <REC PAUSE> button on the wireless controller.
   - In record pause mode and during recording, you can check the picture on the screen.
   
   
   
   
5. Connected device: Play back the tape.
   
   
6. Press the <PAUSE > button on the wireless controller when the scene you wish to record appears.
   - Recording starts.

   - Press the <PAUSE >  button to pause recording.

Anomalous signals sent from the connected device may be recorded as anomalous picture (although it may not appear so on the screen), or it may not be recorded at all. Headphones cannot be used during analog line-in recording. If the AV/headphones terminal set to [PHONES ], it will automatically switch to [AV]. You cannot record from tapes with copyright protective signals.

We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source.
