General “DV“ information

With DV (Digital Video, also known as i.LINK), you can use a DV cable as the audio, video, data and control signals input / output to connect a camcorder that has DV to this recorder. The i.LINK interface complies with the IEEE 1394-1995 standard.

“i.LINK” and the “i.LINK”logo are trademarks.

This recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DV-25) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.

You cannot connect more than one DV cam- corder at a time to this recorder.

You cannot control this recorder with external devices that are connected via the DV IN socket (incl. two DVD recorders).

The camcorder connected via the DV IN socket cannot necessarily, in every case, be controlled.

Digital camcorders can usually record audio as 16 bit/48 kHz stereo or twin stereo tracks with 12 bit/32 kHz. This recorder can only record one stereo audio track. Set “Record DV sound“ as required or Audio 1 or Audio 2 (see page 25).

The sampling rate of the digital sound input to the DV IN socket must be either 32 or 48 kHz (not 44.1 kHz).

Recording may suffer from interference if the camcorder stops playing back, if a part of the tape that has not been recorded on is played back, if the electricity supply to the camcorder is cut off, or if the DV cable comes out.

When “Record DV sound“ is set to “Audio 2“ and there is no Audio 2 signal, “Record DV sound“ will automatically be set to “Audio 1“.

Troubleshooting

Tune the audio input in to the DVD recorder.

Note: This DVD recorder cannot necessarily control every camcorder that is connected to it.
