Notes on DV Recording
• The DV Input is for DVC-SD format
digital camcorders only. Digital satel
-
lite tuners and Digital VHS video
recorders are not compatible.
• Many DV functions can be controlled
using the DVD Recorder+VCR remote,
including Stop, Play, and Pause (not all
camcorders can be controlled).
• Before recording to DV, make sure “DV
Record Audio” is set correctly in the
menu system; see page 28.
• Audio input to the DV IN jack should
be 32kHz or 48kHz (not 44.1kHz).
• Picture distortion may occur during
recording if the source component is
paused or plays an unrecorded sec
-
tion of tape; if the power fails in the
source component; or if the DV cable
becomes disconnected.
DV Troubleshooting
If you cannot get a picture and/or
audio through the DV IN jack, check the
following:
• Make sure the DV cable is properly
connected.
• Try powering off the connected de-
vice, then powering it back on.
