You can record pictures or TV programs 
from a VCR or TV on a tape or a “Memory 
Stick Duo.” You can also record a scene as 
a still image on a “Memory Stick Duo.”
Be sure to insert a cassette or a “Memory 
Stick Duo” for recording in your camcorder 
beforehand.

•  Your camcorder can only record from a 

PAL source. For example, French video or 
TV programs (SECAM) cannot be recorded 
correctly. See page 102 for details on TV color 
systems.

•  If you use a 21-pin adaptor to input PAL source, 

you need a dual direction 21-pin adaptor 
(optional).

See page 57 for details of connecting.

•  The 

 indicator appears when you 

connect your camcorder and other devices 
via an i.LINK cable. (This indicator may
