Yes, the JVC DR-MV80 DVD recorder supports recording from external devices like camcorders. It has composite (RCA) and S-Video inputs, which allow you to connect most camcorders that output through these connections. Here’s how you can do it:
Steps to Record from a Camcorder to DVD on the DR-MV80:Connect the Camcorder to the DVD Recorder:
- Use RCA cables (red, white, and yellow) or S-Video to connect the camcorder’s A/V output to the recorder’s A/V input (L1 or L2).
- If your camcorder has S-Video, use it for better picture quality.
Set the Input Source:
- Turn on both the camcorder and the DVD recorder.
- On the DVD recorder’s remote, press INPUT SELECT to choose the correct input (L1 or L2, depending on which input you used).
Prepare the DVD Recorder:
- Insert a recordable DVD (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, or DVD+RW).
- Format the disc if required.
Start Recording:
- Press Play on the camcorder.
- Press REC on the DVD recorder to begin recording.
