DCR-TRV18E as a recorder	Can't Post

Hello,
I am not able to record the VHP tape into my DCR-TRV18E mini DV camcorder. When I attempted, I was able to hear the sound in the camcorder, but not the picture in the LCD. Can any body help me out.
Thanks,
Sasi

The camcorder must be set to "VCR" mode, not camera mode. Not sure where the switch for that is on your model...it may be combined with a master power switch, or it may be a switch position on the ring surrounding the REC button under your thumb.
Also, you must use the composite video; you cannot record over a Firewire connection with this camcorder.
Regards,
