Connecting external components

$ When an external component is to be connected and its video and audio signals are to be input to the camera recorder, connect the camera recorder to the output connectors on the external component.

$ Conversely, when an external component is to be connected and the video and audio signals of the camera recorder are to be input to the component, connect the camera recorder to the input connectors on the external component.

O If video signals have been input to both the S-VIDEO IN/OUT connector and VIDEO IN/OUT connector, the signals of the S- VIDEO IN/OUT connector take precedence.

O It is not possible to record the audio signals if video signals are not input to the S-VIDEO IN/OUT connector or VIDEO IN/OUT connector except when performing audio dubbing.

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.

$ A digital video component equipped with a DV connector can be connected, and its video signals, audio signals and time code, etc. can be transmitted digitally.

O When 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.
