Recording from DV input
Before DV dubbing
You can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to
this recorder using a single DV cable for input
and output of audio, video, data, and control
signals.
• This recorder is only compatible with
DV-format (DVC-SD, DV25) camcorders.
Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video
recorders are not compatible.
• You cannot connect more than one DV
camcorder at a time to this recorder.
• You cannot control this recorder from external
equipment connected via the DV IN jack
(including two recorders).
• It may not always be possible to control the
connected camcorder via the DV IN jack.
• Digital camcorders can usually record audio
as stereo 16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks
of 12- bit/32kHz. This recorder can only
record one stereo audio track. Set [DV
Record Audio] option to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as
required (see “Recording Settings” on
page 15).
• Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or
48kHz (not 44.1kHz).
• Picture disturbance on the recording may
occur if the source component pauses
playback or plays an unrecorded section of
tape, or if the power fails in the source
component, or the DV cable becomes
disconnected.
Recording from a Digital Camcorder
You can record from a digital camcorder
connected to the DV IN jack on the front panel of
this recorder. Using the recorder’s remote, you
can control both the camcorder and this
recorder.
Before recording, make sure that the audio input
for the DV IN jack is set up (see “Recording
Settings” on page 15).
