pictures in the HDV format by connecting

"Memory Stick Duo" for recording in your
camcorder beforehand.
You can connect your camcorder to a VCR
device using an i.LINK cable.
Connect your camcorder to the wall outlet
(wall socket) using the supplied AC
Adaptor/Charger for this operation (p. 13).
Refer also to the instruction manuals
supplied with the devices to be connected.
