Using Sony DSR-11 video deck to record from a VCR tape

are you wanting to do a dub or an a/d conversion and capture into fcp?

Well, you connect video, audio1 & audio2 out of the VHS deck into the video, audio1, and audio2 input on the DSR11. Then you set the Input on the DSR11 to composite video. Unless that's an S-VHS deck, in which case, th Input is Y/C (or S-Video, I forget how Sony labels it).

and in the menu turn on E/E

man, i'm dumb today. of course that is answer no matter if he wants to dub or pass through.......

i'll be over there, minding my own business.

what kind of video cable goes from the vhs to the dsr? If it's not s-video, try the video setting on the front panel.

Try a new cable vhs to dsr

Now, I want to do something very basic with it, and I'm not sure how to do it.

I want to be able to record some old analog VCR tape onto it and be able to edit it into a digital tape.None of the various configurations that I tried worked, in hookin the VCR up to the Sony. Any help would be appreciated.

You want to record from your VHS to the DVCAM tapes, yes?
E to E isn't part of this equation.
There are two things you need to do. Determine there is a signal coming out of your VHS tape machine and that there is signal going into your DSR11. There are several things that can go wrong but you've got to determine signal integrity first.

Then you have to decide what to check next. Like the record button and the record lockout on the cassette.

When you figure this out, it's going to be really simple.

What was it?

13 posts. It's fixed. None of us knows what it was. That's impressive.

Power cord.
