This function lets you make high picture quality and high
sound quality recordings by connecting with a digital
camcorder using the DV IN/OUT terminal (i.LINK). You can
record material from this recorder with a digital camcorder,
or record material from a digital camcorder with this
recorder.
In addition, you can also record while controlling the digital
camcorder with the remote control of this recorder (DV
uptake).
* i.LINK is a function that lets you control other equipment
by input and output of video, audio, data and control
signals between equipment having an i.LINK jack.
* i.Link refers to the IEEE1394-1995 industry specification
and extensions thereof. The logo is used for products

DV IN/OUT Terminal
■ About the Connected Equipment
When this recorder is connected with a DV-format
camcorder using a DV cable, you can record and edit with
minimal deterioration of picture and sound quality using a
digital signal.
NOTE
• The DV IN/OUT terminal of this recorder only enables
input and output 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.
• When this recorder is connected with a camcorder
equipped with a DV terminal, the signal may not be input
to this recorder depending on the camcorder. When this
happens, use an analog connection (page 98).
• The DV IN/OUT terminal is not compatible with connec-
tion to a PC.
• This recorder cannot be controlled from other equipment
by using the DV IN/OUT terminal.
• Only one camcorder can be connected to this recorder
using the DV IN/OUT terminal.
• Connect this recorder and the camcorder directly. The DV
signal will not be input if the camcorder is connected to
this recorder through other equipment equipped with a
DV IN/OUT terminal.
• When two of these recorders are connected using the DV
IN/OUT jack, one cannot be used to control the other.
• Signals may not be able to be output or control may not
be possible from this recorder in the case of some digital
camcorders (page 96).
■ Input/Output of Video, Audio and Data Signals
Æ Date and time data as well as the contents of cassette
memory cannot be recorded with this recorder.
Æ Video and audio signals from TV programs, external

Æ Video and audio signals of protected material or
“copy-once” material cannot be recorded.
Æ Monaural audio cannot be input through the DV IN/
OUT terminal.
■ Audio Mode
Digital camcorders typically have the following two audio
modes.
Æ 16-bit (48 kHz)
Although this yields high sound quality, only one stereo
audio signal can be processed.
Æ 12-bit (32 kHz)
Two stereo signals can be processed. In general,
overdubbed audio is recorded in Stereo 2.
Æ This recorder allows listening or recording of either
Stereo 1 or Stereo 2 audio if the input audio is in the
12-bit audio mode.
Æ Only the 16-bit audio mode is output from this
recorder.
Æ This recorder is unable to process 44.1 kHz input
audio signals.
