Connecting a VCR (video cassette recorder) or Similar
Device
After disconnecting the recorder’s power cord from an AC outlet, connect a VCR (video cassette
recorder) or similar recording device to the LINE IN (line in) jacks of this recorder.
Use the DV IN (digital video in) jack on the front panel if the equipment has a DV (digital video) output
jack (i.LINK jack) (page 77).
See also the instruction manual supplied with the connected equipment.
To record on this recorder, see “Recording from connected equipment without a timer” on page 53.
Connect a VCR or similar recording device to the LINE IN 1 or 3 of this recorder. If the equipment has
an S-video jack, you can use an S-video cord instead of an audio/video cord.
