Recording from a VCR, TV or Analog Camcorder (Analog Line-in)

You can record a video played on your VCR or analog camcorder (for digital
camcorders, see p. 77) or a TV program onto a tape in the ZR40, if the TV or
other device has audio/video outputs.
• If an anomalous signal is sent from the TV or VCR, the images recorded on the
tape may also be anomalous (although it may not appear so on the TV image),
not recorded at all, or COPYRIGHT PROTECTED DUBBING RESTRICTED
may appear in the display.
• You are unable to dub tapes recorded with the copyright protective signal.
