Recording from an External Input (Continued)

What is DV?

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals.

The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE 1394-1995. “i.LINK” and the “i.LINK” logo are trademarks.

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

You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to this recorder.

You cannot control this recorder from external equip- ment connected via the DV IN jack (including two DVD Recorders).

It may not always be possible to control the connect- ed camcorder via the DV IN jack.

Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo 16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-bit/32kHz. The VCR/DVD Recorder can only record one stereo audio track. Set DV Record Audio to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as necessary (see page 26).

Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz (not 44.1kHz).

Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if the source component pauses playback or plays an unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in the source component, or the DV cable becomes discon- nected.

If DV Record Audio is set to Audio 2, but no Audio 2 signal is present, DV Record Audio will be reset to Audio 1 automatically.
