Dubbing to VCR or DVD/HDD recorders
You can dub images played back on your camcorder to other recording devices, such as VCRs 
or DVD/HDD recorders. Connect the device in either of the following ways.
Connect your camcorder to the wall outlet using the supplied AC Adaptor for this operation 
(p. 22). Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with the devices to be connected.
