When using the GY-DV300 as playback unit (dubbing to another videocassette)

Connecting the GY-DV300 to another video component equipped with DV I/O connector (IEEE1394
standard) using a DV cable (optional) enables dubbing of digital signals with high picture quality and
high-quality sound.
When used in a cold environment, this becomes 3 minutes regardless of the setting.
●Pressing the BAR button during
playback engages the still
mode.
●When a still picture is dubbed,
the dubbed picture will be
coarse. Noise may also appear
in the sound.
●When the BR-DV600EA’s TC
DUPLICATE mode is used, the
time code data played back on
the GY-DV300 can also be
dubbed.
Memo:
●The operation methods differ with the characteristics and specifications of the connected equipment.
Even if connection is possible, operation or data communication may sometimes be impossible to
perform.
●When a D-9 (digital S) component is connected by means of IEEE1394, date and time data is not
recorded on the D-9 component.
●If noise appears on the screen or the sound drops out, disconnect the DV cable and then connect it
again or turn off the GY-DV300 before turning it on again.
●Audio noise may be heard when turning on/off the device connected to the DV connector or when
switching video input. When performing these types of operations, turn the volume of the audio
device, speakers, etc., connected to GY-DV301 to minimum.
