Recording from DV InputBefore DV dubbing

You can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to your recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data, and control signals.

•Your recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD, DV25) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.

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

•You cannot control your recorder from external equipment connected through the DV IN jack (including two recorders).

•You may not be able to control the connected camcorder through the DV IN jack.

•Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo 16-bit/48 kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12- bit/32 kHz. Your recorder can only record one stereo audio track. Set the DV Record Audio option to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as required (see “Recording from DV Input” on page 22).

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

• 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 disconnected.
