Converting Analog Signals into Digital Signals

Open the menu and select [SIGNAL SETUP]. Select [AV DV], set it to [ON] and close the

Depending on the signal sent from the connected device, the conversion from analog to digital
signals might not work properly (e.g., signals that include copyright protection signals or
anomalous signals such as ghost signals).
For normal use, set [AV DV] to [OFF]. If it is set to [ON], digital signals cannot be input via the
camcorder's HDV/DV terminal.
Depending on the software and the specifications of your computer, you may not be able to
transfer converted signals via the HDV/DV terminal.
We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power outlet.
You can also press the AV DV button on the wireless controller. Pressing the button will toggle
the AV DV conversion on and off.
