camcorder using a DV cable, you can record and edit
with minimal deterioration of picture and sound quality
using a digital signal.

camcorder control on the screen, and operate using the
buttons on the panel. This allows easy recording onto
disc. Record after first performing “DV SETTING” (page

NOTE
• The DV IN terminal of this Recorder only enables input of
DV-format camcorders (DVC-SD signals). It is not
compatible with satellite receivers or Digital VHS video
recorders since they employ a different format.
• To connect the Recorder with a digital camcorder, set
digital camcorder POWER to “PLAY (Video side)”, and
connect while in the stopped state. If the DV is connected
when POWER is set to “RECORD (Camera side)”, or
when tape has been played back, the DV link will not
work correctly.
• There are some digital camcorders which cannot be
operated using the On-Screen Control Panel of this
Recorder, even if you set “DV LINK” under “DV SETTING”
to “ON”. In cases like this, set “DV LINK” to “OFF”. (page

• When this Recorder is connected to a camcorder
equipped with a DV terminal, the signal may not be input
to this Recorder depending on the camcorder. When this

• The DV IN terminal is not compatible with connection to a
PC.
• This Recorder cannot be controlled from other equipment
connected to the DV IN terminal.
• Only one camcorder can be connected to this Recorder
using the DV IN terminal.

Stereo 1 or Stereo 2 audio if the input audio is in the 12-bit
audio mode.
