Dubbing To Or From A Video Unit Equipped
With A DV Connector (Digital Dubbing)
It is also possible to copy recorded scenes from the
camcorder onto another video unit equipped with a DV
connector. Since a digital signal is sent, there is little if any
image or sound deterioration.
[To use this camcorder as a player]
1 Make sure all units are turned off. Connect the
camcorder to a video unit equipped with a DV input
connector using a DV cable as shown in the illustration.
2 Set the VIDEO/DSC Switch to “VIDEO”, set the
camcorder’s Power Switch to “
” while pressing
down the Lock Button located on the switch, turn on the
video unit’s power, and insert the appropriate cassettes in
the camcorder and the video unit.
3 Press 4 to play back the source tape.
4 While watching the playback on the monitor, engage the
DV connector-equipped video unit’s record mode from
the spot on the source tape you want to begin recording.
NOTES:
● It is recommended to use the AC Power Adapter/Charger as
the power supply instead of the battery pack (
੬
pg. 7).
● If the remote control is used when both the player and
recorder are THOMSON video units, both units will
perform the same operation. To prevent this from happen-
ing, press the buttons on both units.
● For Digital Dubbing, this camcorder can be connected only
to one device at a time.
● If a blank portion or disturbed image is played back on the
player during dubbing, the dubbing may stop so that an
unusual image is not dubbed.
● Even though the DV cable is connected correctly, some-
times the image may not appear in step 4. If this occurs, turn
off the power and make connections again.
● If “Playback Zoom” ( ੬
pg. 50), “Playback Special Effects”
(
੬
pg. 51) or “Snapshot” is attempted during playback,
only the original playback image recorded on the tape is
output from the DV OUT connector.
* When connecting the cable, open this cover.
