i.LINK cable (optional)

If your TV or VCR has an S video jack
Pictures can be reproduced more faithfully by using an S video cable (optional).
With this connection, you do not need to connect the yellow (video) plug of the A/V
connecting cable.
Connect an S video cable (optional) to the S video  jacks of both your camcorder and the
TV or VCR.
This connection produces higher quality DV format pictures.

Simply connect the i.LINK cable (optional) to the    DV Interface on your camcorder
and to DV OUT on the DV products. With digital-to-digital connection, video and
audio signals are transmitted in digital form for high-quality editing.

(1) Insert a blank tape (or a tape you want to record over) into your camcorder,

and insert the recorded tape into VCR.

(2) Set the POWER switch to VCR on your camcorder.
(3) Press FN and select PAGE3, then press REC CTRL. And press REC PAUSE.

appears on the screen of your camcorder.

(5) Press REC START at the scene where you want to start recording.

Press x on both your camcorder and the VCR.

You can connect one VCR only using the i.LINK cable.
See page 206 for more information about i.LINK.

When you dub a picture in digital form
The color of the display may be uneven. However, this does not affect the dubbed
picture.

If you record a paused playback picture with the   DV Interface
The recorded picture becomes rough. And when you play back the picture using your
camcorder, the picture may jitter.

Before recording
Make sure if the DV IN indicator appears on the screen. The DV IN indicator may
appear on both equipment.

You can insert a new scene from a VCR onto your originally recorded tape by
specifying the insert start and end points. Use the Remote Commander for this
operation. Connections are the same as on page 97 or 98 .

[A]: A tape that contains the scene to be superimposed
[B]: A tape before editing
[C]: A tape after editing

(1) Set the POWER switch to VCR.
(2) On the VCR, locate just before the insert start point [a], then set the VCR to
