Digital video equipment fitted with this terminal lets you edit, copy and transfer

data digitally, with virtually no generation loss in image and sound quality. The

DV terminal is for both line-in and line-out, since a single DV cable can handle

data in both directions.

• If another Canon digital video camcorder is connected, the Dubbing Function

can be used for digital-to-digital dubbing (i.e. with virtually no generation loss

in image quality).

• If a VCR is connected and an anomalous signal is sent from the VCR, the

images recorded on the tape may also be anomalous (although it may not appear

so on the TV image), or not recorded at all.

• You are unable to dub tapes recorded with the copyright protective signal.

Dubbing to the camera:

Operate from the controls on the LCD panel or the wireless controller.

1. Use a Canon CV-150F DV cable (optional) to connect two digital

devices together. Load a blank tape into the camera and a recorded

tape into the other digital device.

• Connect the DV cable with the sides of the plugs marked with the arrows

facing as shown above.

• Make sure the REC/SAVE tab on the blank tape has been slid to REC

(closed position).

2. Turn the POWER switch to VCR.

3. Press the camera’s REC PAUSE button and start playback on the

other digital device.

• The camera enters record pause mode.

• DV IN appears in the display when the playback device starts playback.

4. To start/pause dubbing, press the PAUSE button.

• You can monitor the image in the display as you dub.

• Press STOP to finish dubbing.
