Connecting with a Digital Video Camera
Example for connecting Panasonic Digital Video Camera as the playback unit, when controlling the playback unit through this
unit.
Notes:
Before connecting any cables, first make sure that the
power for both units is off.
Insert a recorded cassette into the playback unit, and a
cassette with the closed record prevention tab into the VCR.
If the playback unit is connected to the recording unit via an
S-VIDEO cable, the video signal on the S-VIDEO cable
takes priority. If the playback unit does not have an S-
VIDEO socket do not connect the S-VIDEO cable to this
unit.
Use of an AC adaptor as the power source for the Digital
Video Camera is recommended. Doing so avoids a
situation where the camera shuts down due to low battery
power.
It is recommended that the DV cable be disconnected for
editing with INPUT SELECT set to A1 and A2. If INPUT
SELECT is set to A1 and A2 with the connections shown in
the figure left unchanged, the monitor picture may be
disturbed or noise may occur. (This has no effect on the
actual editing operations.)
When the units are connected using the DV cable and
editing is performed, some editing functions will differ
compared with when the units are connected using the AV
cable. Refer to Glossary of Terms on page 66.
Read the operating instructions of the Digital Video Camera.
Do not change the EDIT CONTROL or EDIT MODE settings
while performing setting or editing operations at the SET UP
or EDIT MENU screens. Be sure to quit these screens
before changing these settings.
When using a Panasonic Digital Video Camera as the
playback unit, the following editing functions can be used by
connecting the camera to this unit with a DV cable:
Copying
Video Insert
Audio Insert
Assemble
In this case, simply set INPUT SELECT to DV IN, and set
EDIT CONTROL
to DV.
(This function may not operate properly with some models.)
Use Time codes for Program Editing when the playback unit
is connected to this unit via a DV cable.
When using the BNC socket, use a BNC-PHONO
conversion adapter (sold separately).
