Instructions

1. If you have a digital video camcorder, you may be surprised to know you could use it as a middle man in converting your old vhs tapes onto dvd. To do this you'll need to hook up your digital video camcorder to your VHS Player. You should verify in your camcorder's owner's manual that it indeed is capable of this type of use.

2. Hooking up your digital video camcorder to your VHS player is accomplished by using composite video cables (yellow,red,white cables) hooked from the VHS player's video/audio out ports to the input ports on your digital video camcorder.

3. After the transfer from VHS to your camcorder is complete, you change the cable to go from your camcorder's output to your DVD Recorders input, insert blank DVD media into the DVD Recorder, and you're done.
