The Sony website and the website I bought this camera from both say it can
do analog>digital passthrough, which as I understand it means you can input
an analog A/V signal to the camera, which will then be output through the DV
and USB ports. Trouble is, I can't find any information in the manual as to
how one goes about this. Can anyone tell me how to carry out the process -
or have I totally missunderstood what this feature is all about?

Thanks, Tom W.

I am trying to do the same with a trv30. I'm going to the electronic
store later today, I'll let you know what I find out. I know you can
do it easily if you have a vcr that has S-video output and a fire wire
card on your pc. Unfortunately, I don't have a newer vcr with the
s-video out.

Mike,

I'm waiting with interest! I'm in the same situation - just got a SCART
output on my VCR, no DV or S-video.

The TRV340 has pass-through mode but I thought the models ending in E
were crippled at the factory so that their inputs didn't work because
of an EU tax issue? If it is not crippled then just put it in VTR
(VCR) mode and go to the menu and set A/V>DV = ON. It should work.
When that setting is set to OFF then it will convert DV from the
computer back to analog for your VCR.

Ok, here goes.
(1) Make sure that your A/V DVOut is turned ON
(2) Connect your 340 to the computer via the firewire
(3) Connect the VHS VCR to the 340 via the Analog cable that came with the
camera (it has an video and 2 audio lines going into a mini-jack)
(4) Turn on your camcorder, computer and VCR (I am not sure if there is a
proper order or not)
(5) Open your NLE software
(6) Start capturing your VHS video to your computer

Hope this helps!

I can't find a menu option for A/V>DV or anything similar so I guess it must
be crippled - I thought that was only the DV IN function though.
