Can I hook this camcorder up to my flat screen and show videos we have all ready made on the same type of mini dv cassette?

Yes you can. Depending on what hookup your tv has you might need to buy an extra cord but it has the "old" red yellow white cord attachment which works

No, I don't believe so... It has one regular HDMI on the right side, a side flat USB labeled "Service" (don't know what it's for off hand, but you could probably find a manual online), 2-3 regular HDMI in back, RCA in back, component in back, round s-video in back and digital audio in back. It's not quite at an angle where I can get all the way behind it, but I'm 99% sure there's no mini or micro USB, just HDMIs and a regular USB for "service" (whatever that means), and RCAs for older VCRs, DVDs, etc. Hope that helps.

Yes. I only use Sony MP 120, 8 mm video cassettes since they are the most compatable with a Sony camcorder.

No, I don't think you can. You have to have cable and a DVR BOX. I do like this DVD/ VCR-RECORDER. I HAVE 4 OF THEM.

Hi David,You will use the A/V connecting cable for this camcorder to be connected to your VCR. Thanks. >Joffrey

Yep, I'm gonna second Paul here. It doesn't matter what format the tape is (beta, VHSC, etc.), as long as you have the AV out it will work just fine. This is by far the best device I've found. It cost more than some, because in this case, you actually do get what you pay for.

I don't think you can. I looked at mine, and I did not see anything on there that said DVR - for Record. But a note, I quit using the VCR a few months in because it starting eating tapes. I only use it for DVD's.

What about video tapes? If I attach a VCR, can I transfer my old VHS recordings onto a DVD using this DVR Recorder?

Hi Jim, Yes that is what I use mine for, I have hundreds of hours of VHS tapes that I shot of my family. I am converting them and burning them onto DVD's. My VCR has two composite outputs, I connect one to my capture card and the other to the convertor and the hdmi output to my big screen monitor. Works great and the quality surprised me.

Your videos will go on the mini dv tape only. Memory card is for pictures only.

I purchased this Hi8 camcorder specifically to convert Hi8 video tape, although this camcorder just allows you to play the tape. You will still need a Digital Video Converter such as Canopus / Grass Valley ADVC-110 Advanced Digital Video Converter. There are much cheaper units as well.

You can either connect the camcorder to a computer using IEEE wire, I think they used to call it fire wire, and is the wire with a smaller connection than USB. Or you can use the other cables with the red, white and yellow ends and connect to a dvd or vhs recorder. All the wires come with the camcorder. The same wires you would use to connect to a tv to watch your tapes on the tv. You can access the owners manual for instruction at I think the Sony Support web site.

It does convert cassette tapes also. As I'm typing this, I'm converting one of my old camcorder video cassettes. As for your second question, yes all the hardware you'll need is included.

Sure, not a problem. Just run cables from the video, left and right audio outputs on the back of your VCR to their respective inputs on the DVD Recorder.

anything with a RCA Jack (Yellow) video in and or a TV with video in. you will have to buy a cable to get from the cam to your TV(display). a old VCR and old TV will too.

Yes you can use the VRD VC20 to copy the video you have on your camera. You need a cable to plug in the camcorder and on the other end it has three cables a red white and yellow. The three cables go into the VRD VC20. You can go toSony support and get the opperation book download on the VRD VC20 and it will tell you how.
