Bought a Canon zr70mc to do some analog to digital conversion of some old tapes a friend of mine has.
I've hooked up everything according to the manual but I'm not getting any input. Video is coming out of the VCR just fine as I've put the input to my TV and I can see and hear. But it seems that it just can't get to the DV cam.
1. Is the output of the VCR supposed to be visible on the lcd of the camera?
2. Is there a setting other than AV > DV that I need to set on the camera? I've checked everything else and it all looks good to me. I shoot on an XL1 so I'm pretty familiar with the controls. Too bad I can't input to the XL1. My church has a PD170 and I've read that it can do A>D so I may try that to rule out whether it's the VCR or Camera.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This camera has been a headache from day one, and I'm almost regretting purchasing it.
