TV:
You cannot insert AV from a TV program with anomalous synchronized signals,
such as when the program itself received poor signals.
The tape in the camcorder:
When using the ZR20’s AV insert function, only record to tapes recorded in SP
mode with continuously recorded time codes.
If there are non-recorded portions or portions recorded in a mode other than SP
mode on the tape, recording will stop.
The playback tape:
Use only tapes without non-recorded portions.
If there are non-recorded portions or changes in the recording mode, you may not
be able to insert AV correctly.
You cannot insert AV in the following cases:
• The playback tape has been poorly recorded.
• During special playback: fast forward playback, rewind playback or slow
playback etc. (analog only).
1. Connect the camcorder to the VCR.
2. Prepare the VCR and TV.
• Set the TV/Video selector on the television to Video. For further details, see
“Connections for Playback on a TV Screen” on p. 30.
• Turn on the VCR and load a recorded cassette.
• See your TV and VCR instruction manuals for details.
3. Turn the camcorder’s POWER switch to PLAY (VCR) and load a
recorded cassette.
• Make sure the REC/SAVE tab on the cassette has been slid to REC (closed
position).
