Capture and playback video with an HDV
camcorder
You can enjoy video and sound from an HDV
camcorder on the TV.
An HDV camcorder can send a “DV format” signal as
well as an “HDV format” signal. The TV is only capable
of playing back an “HDV format” signal.
NOTE
• Signals received on the TV from broadcasts or other
external equipment cannot be recorded on an HDV
camcorder.
• When the HDV camcorder is set to “DV compatible mode”,
HDV camcorder cannot be chosen in the i.LINK device
selection screen. (See page 36.) Please consult your HDV
camcorder's instruction manual for more information.
• You cannot turn on or off the HDV camcorder from the
i.LINK control panel
About the input select button

select between output from the TV to i.LINK device and

selected on page 36, “output” will be selected.) When an
i.LINK device is played back during i.LINK selection, i.LINK
input will automatically be selected.
• When an HDV camcorder is connected to the TV and the
camera's mode is changed from video mode to camera
mode, input from HDV camcorder is automatically selected.

mode if they are left in camera mode for some time without
being used to capture anything. This disconnects the i.LINK
control. When this happens, you will not be able to operate
the HDV camcorder via the i.LINK control panel, so please
