Recording from an External Input (Continued)
What is DV?
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
•The DVD Recorder+VCR is only compatible with DV- format
•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 connect- ed camcorder via the DV IN jack.
•Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo
