How do I transfer whats on a videotape to my new Sony camcorder NOT just by recording the TV screen?
Hi - I had an older camcorder - it was an analog sony handycam of the late nineties - and there was a way to put it in VTR mode (i think thats what it was called...when you put it in the mode to watch the vids) there was a way to hook it up to the tv press a couple camcorder buttons simultaneously so that the picture on the television was transferred to the camcorder and you could record it directly by using the cable and pressing a few buttons. I cannot figure out how to do this with my new camcorder - it's a sony digital DCRHC36 (it takes those little mini-tapes) and i've resorted to filming the screen but that just is not working (fuzzy pic, stripes, outside noise, etc) does anyone know how to do with the new camcorder what i was able to do with the old one? THANKS!
1. connect the cables from the vcr/tv to the camcorder.
2. slide power switch until you get play/edit
3. touch p-menu --> rec ctrl --> rec pause (puts the camcorder on standby for recording)
4. start the video you want to record.. at this point you should see the picture on the lcd of the camcorder
5. touch rec start to start recording
6. to stop recording touch the icon with a square on it and then just exit p-menu
