Recording video or TV programs

programs (SECAM) cannot be recorded correctly. See page 155 for details on TV colour
systems.
You can connect only one VCR using the i.LINK cable
When you dub a picture in digital form
The colour of the display may be uneven. However this does not affect the dubbed
picture.
If you record a still picture in playback pause mode via the DV Interface
The recorded picture becomes rough. And when you play back the picture using your
camcorder, the picture may jitter.
Before recording
Press DISPLAY and make sure that the DV IN indicator appears on the LCD screen or
in the viewfinder. The DV IN indicator may appear on both pieces of equipment.
