Recording from a VCR, TV or Other Camcorder (Analog Line-in)

You can record a TV program or a video played on your VCR or analog camcorder (digital camcorders, see p. 75) onto a tape in the GL1, if the TV or other device has audio/video outputs.

• If an anomalous signal is sent from the TV or 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 may not be able to dub tapes recorded with the copyright protective signal.

• The GL1 cannot record or play back tapes with closed captioning.
