The camcorder’s Dubbing Function
controls your VCR by using the same
infra-red signals as the VCR’s remote
control.
Make sure the camera is in a spot
where it can remotely control your
VCR.
Setting the camera to control your VCR
1. Check where the remote control
sensor is on your VCR using its
normal remote control.
2. Place the camera pointing
directly at the sensor, not more
than 20 inches (50 cm) away.
• Check that the sensor will pick up
signals easily from this spot using
the VCR’s normal remote control.
• Make sure that the cables and the
camera’s shoulder strap do not
obstruct the signals.
3. Make sure that the VCR is in record pause mode.
