DV Dubbing (DV t DVD)
DV Dubbing (DV t DVD)
Before DV Dubbing
This section explains dubbing with a digital video
camera via the DV IN jack on the front panel. If
you want to dub by way of the LINE 2 IN jacks,
see “Recording From Connected Equipment
Without a Timer” on page 58.
To record from the DV IN jack
The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the
i.LINK standard. You can connect any other
equipment that has an i.LINK (DV) jack, and
record digital signals.
Follow the instructions in “Connecting a Digital
Video Camera to the DV IN Jack” and then move
on to the section on dubbing.
For more information about i.LINK, see “About
i.LINK” on page 120.
z Hint
If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the
initial dub, use the DV IN jack and record on a DVD-RW
(VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). Note that erasing
unwanted scenes does not free up disc space for DVD-Rs
(VR mode).
Notes
• The DV IN jack is for input only. It will not output
signals.
• You cannot use the DV IN jack when:
– your digital video camera does not work with this
recorder. Connect the camera to the LINE 2 IN jacks
and follow the instructions of “Recording From
Connected Equipment Without a Timer” on page 58.
– the input signal is not in DVC-SD format. Do not
connect a MICROMV format digital video camera
even if it has an i.LINK jack.
– the images on the tape contain copy protection
signals, which limit recording.
Connecting a Digital Video
Camera to the DV IN Jack
You can connect a digital video camera to the DV
IN jack on the recorder to record or edit from a DV
format tape.
Operation is straightforward because the DVD
recorder will fast forward and rewind the tape for
you – you do not need to operate your digital video
camera. Do the following to start using the “DV
Edit” functions of this recorder.
See the instruction manual supplied with the
digital video camera as well before connecting.
