External input terminal increases
versatility.
The DZ-MV580E (SW/AU) and DZ-MV550E (SW/AU)
include an external input terminal as standard
equipment. This lets you use the unit as a recorder.
For example, you can dub video from a VHS tape
to a DVD disc or record a TV show on a DVD disc.
* It may not be possible to record certain sources via external input.
With the supplied software, you can easily create your own original DVDs.
After installing the software on your PC via a high speed USB 2.0 link, you can use DVD-MovieAlbumSE 3 for easy editing.
You can also copy videos recorded with the DVD Camcorder or videos edited with DVD-MovieAlbumSE 3 to a DVD-R disc
using Sonic MyDVD. This means you can edit the pictures you have taken and duplicate them on a DVD-R. Now it's easy to
make your own DVDs!
