You can use your JVC GR-D70 camcorder to convert videos, saved in analog format on VHS tapes, to a digital format. The conversion is accomplished by using your JVC GR-D70 camcorder, which is a digital recorder, to dub video playing from your VCR. Before dubbing can begin, however, you need to connect your VCR to your camcorder. This involves a simple cable connection. In initiating the dubbing process, the only thing you need do is move a few switches and press a few buttons.
Instructions
1. Load a memory card into your JVC GR-D70 camcorder. Press the "Monitor Open" button to open the LCD monitor. Open the memory card cover and insert your memory card (clipped edge first). Close the card cover. Push until you hear it click. This means it's locked in.
2. Open the connector cover located on the right-side of your JVC GR-D70 camcorder. Use the A/V cable that came with your camcorder to connect the connector port on your camcorder to the A/V Out jacks on the back of your VCR. Insert each independent A/V plug into the A/V jack that matches its color.
3. Set the "Video / DSC" switch, accessible when the LCD monitor is open, to "Video." Move the Power switch, located on the right-side of your camcorder (near your thumb if you're holding the device properly), to "Play" then push in the switch's lock button. Move the "S/AV" switch to "On."
4. Select your preferred recording speed---SP or LP. The faster the speed, the higher the recording quality. SP is the faster speed.
5. Press the "Start / Stop" button on your camcorder to place it in record standby mode.
6. Insert the VHS tape you would like to record from, into your VCR. Use the monitor on your camcorder to cue your VHS tape to the spot you would like your recording to begin. Press the "Start / Stop" button on your camcorder again to initiate the active recording mode, and press "Play" on your VCR to begin dubbing the video from your VCR to your camcorder. The recording happens in real-time.
7. Pause dubbing whenever you're ready by pressing the "Start / Stop" button again. This places the camcorder back in record standby mode. You can cue the VHS tape to another spot to begin dubbing from that point. Or stop dubbing altogether by moving the S/AV" switch back to "Off."
