Inputting to and outputting from digital components

$ A digital video component equipped with a DV connector can be connected for digitally recording and playing back video and audio signals as well as time codes, etc.

$ When signals from an external component are to be recorded, set the unit to the VCR mode and operate the VCR REC button to initiate recording.

O The functions provided for the input connectors and the ones provided for the

output connectors are switched automatically.

VCR REC

OBefore recording signals from an external component, check that the video signals are input.

OWhen signals from an external component are being recorded, do not stop the signal output at the external component side or disconnect any of the cables. It may not be possible for the component to be recognized when recording is resumed.

OWhen an IEEE 1394 cable has been connected to the DV connector, do not apply a strong load from outside. Doing so may damage the connector.

OWhen signals are recorded using this unit, audio signals will be recorded in the same mode as the one which was set for the playback tape regardless of the menu setting.

OWhen signals are recorded using this unit, the bottom part of the images being monitored (the images which are seen on an LCD monitor, viewfinder or TV set) may be distorted or they may shake vertically: this is normal and not indicative of malfunctioning. The images actually recorded are free of this distortion and shaking.

OWhen images containing copy-guarded signals (signals that protect copyrights) are recorded using this unit, they will appear as mosaic patterns when they are played back.

OIt may not be possible to input or output digital signals to or from some components even if the component concerned is equipped with a DV connector. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the component to be connected.
