Sony DSR-PD100A User Manual

You can record a tape from another VCR or a TV program from a TV that has audio/video
outputs. Connect the camcorder to the VCR or TV. Recording quality by analog input,
however, is not satisfying for professional use.
You can record only from a PAL system-based TV when you use this function (DSR-
PD100AP only).

(1) Set the POWER switch to VTR and set DISPLAY to LCD in the menu system.
(2) Press 

r REC and the button on the right together at the point where you want to

start recording.

In recording and the recording pause mode, S VIDEO and AUDIO/VIDEO jacks
automatically work as input jacks.

If your TV or VCR is a monaural type, connect the yellow plug of the A/V connecting cable
for video to the TV or VCR. Connect only the white or red plug for audio to the TV or VCR.
If you connect the white plug, the sound is L (left) signal. If you connect the red plug, the
sound is R (right) signal.

If you are going to connect the camcorder using the S video cable (not supplied) [a], you do
not need to connect the yellow (video) plug of the A/V connecting cable [b] .

Notes
• If the S video plug is not provided on your TV or VCR, do not connect the S video cable

(not supplied) to the camcorder. Pictures will not appear.

• The dual sound cannot be recorded in this camcorder.
• If you fast-forward or slow-playback on the other equipment, the image being recorded

may turn black and white. When recording from other equipment, be sure to play back the
original tape at normal speed.
