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 the camcorder’s power is off.
2
Connect the camcorder to your video unit equipped
with a DV connector using a DV cable as shown in
the illustration.
3
Press 4 /6 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 (  pg. 7).
● If the remote control is used when both the player and
recorder are JVC video units, both units will perform the
same operation. To prevent this from happening, press the
buttons on both units.
● For Digital Dubbing, this camcorder can be connected only
to one device at a time. This camcorder can also be used as
a recorder.
● 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 3. If this occurs, turn
off the power and make connections again.
● If “Playback Zoom” (  pg. 50), “Playback Special Effects”
(  pg. 51) or “Snapshot” is attempted during playback,
only the original playback image recorded on the tape is
output from the DV IN/OUT connector.
● When using a DV cable, be sure to use the optional JVC
VC-VDV204U DV cable.
