You can record (dub) images from other video devices to disc or card in this DVD Video Camera.
Use the AV/S input/output cable (provided) to connect the DVD Video Camera to the other AV device as follows:

Set the input source on the 
DVD Video Camera to 
“LINE (L IN)”.
Switch the input referring to 
“Input Source” on page 88.
Choose “S LINE” to input 
S-VIDEO signal (Only for VDR-M70PP).

Turn on the connected device, and start playback.
The picture will appear on the LCD screen or 
viewfinder of this DVD Video Camera.

Press the REC button.
Recording will start on this DVD Video Camera.
The operation of this line-input recording is the same 
as for recording movie.

If you operate the DVD Video Camera connected to 
another device, always power the DVD Video Camera 
from household AC outlet using the AC adaptor.

With VDR-M70PP, using S-VIDEO will enable you to 
record clearer images.

The VDR-M50PP cannot record S-VIDEO input.

Reduce the volume of external input sound heard from 
the built-in speaker: The loud volume may cause noise to 
enter the recorded image.

The recorded contents can be played back in the same 
manner as when playing back camera images recorded 
on this DVD Video Camera.

Still images can also be recorded on DVD-RAM disc or 
card. See “Switching External Input Recording Method 
(PHOTO Input)” on page 88 for details, and “Recording 
Stills” on page 52 for how to record still images.

The “Input Source” setting will return to “CAMERA” 
whenever DVD Video Camera is turned off.

Recording of most images is prohibited by the copy-
guard signal to protect the copyright, except for images 
recorded on camcorders for personal enjoyment. “COPY 
PROTECTED” appears in these images: They cannot be 
recorded on this DVD Video Camera.
Typical copyright protected images include those of DVD 
video, LD, recorded video tapes, some parts of digital 
satellite broadcasts, etc.

If a video signal that cannot be read by this DVD Video 
Camera is present - even in images recorded on the DVD 
Video Camera for personal enjoyment without copy-
guard signal - the input image may not be recorded 
normally.

If the input signal is interrupted by switching the channel 
on TV or switching the signal using video selector (see 
“Terminology” on page 148), normal recording cannot be 
performed.
