Hi8 to miniDV question

[low613]

I want to transfer Hi8 to miniDV using a Sony TR81 and a TRV33. Using RCA the image is visible and audio audible; only image is visible with S-video. I have changed AV to DV OUT. I want to record onto a miniDV tape - not use the passthrough feature (sending the digital signal to a Mac). Is this possible? Any guidance is much appreciated.

s-video carries no audio so use both the s-video plus the rca for audio

Excellent - thank you. But there is another glitch which I should have mentioned earlier. I cannot record onto the TRV33. I can see the footage in the monitor, while the TRV33 is in PLAY mode. But if I change that to CAMERA/RECORD, it does not record. I am sure I am missing something very obvious.

see if there's an import setting or the like on the menu

No, there is nothing like this in the menu in CAMERA mode, nor in PLAY mode.

Here are the "dubbing" directions on P-94 of the TRV33 manual.
First connect Hi8 camcorder with S-Video + RCA White and Red to A/V inputs on the TRV33. Don't connect Yellow.

Thank you - both - so much for your assistance. Works just fine.
