You can record from a digital camcorder connected to the DV IN jack on the front panel of the DVD Recorder+VCR.

You can use the DVD Recorder+VCR remote to control both the camcorder and the DVD Recorder+VCR. Before recording, make sure the digital camcorder is properly connected to the front panel DV IN jack; see page 18.

The source signal must be DVC SD format.

Some camcorders cannot be controlled using the DVD Recorder+VCR remote.

If you connect a second DVD recorder using a DV cable, you cannot control the second recorder from this one. You cannot control the DVD Recorder+VCR remotely from a component connected to the DV IN jack.

You cannot record date and time information from a DV cassette.

1Make sure your digital camcorder is connected to the front panel DV IN jack; see page 18.

2Press [INPUT] repeatedly to select the DV input.

DV appears on the front panel display and the TV screen.

What is DV?

DF-8100P/8150P only

 

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to the DVD Recorder+VCR 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.

The DVD Recorder+VCR 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 the DVD Recorder+VCR.

You cannot control the DVD Recorder+VCR from external equipment connected via the DV IN jack (including two DVD Recorders).

It may not always be possible to control the connected camcorder via the DV IN jack.

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 if the DV cable becomes disconnected.
