Connecting the IEEE1394 Cable
To reduce the emission of unwanted radio waves, be sure to attach the provided clamp filter as shown in the figure on the left.
•Attach the clamp filter as close to the camcorder as possi- ble, as shown in the figure.
•Set the IEEE1394 switch on the left panel of the cam- corder.

By connecting the video signal output terminal and the LINE OUTPUT terminal on this camcorder to an AV device, analog signal dubbing is possible.
1.Connect the cables.
Use the provided cable for the audio cable.
To reduce the emission of unwanted radio waves, be sure to attach the provided clamp filter as shown in the figure on the left.
•Attach the clamp filter as close to the camcorder as possible, as shown in the figure.
2.Turn both devices on.
3.Set the camcorder to VTR mode.
Press the CAM/VTR button. The VTR indicator lights.
4.Set the video output.
Set the VIDEO FORMAT menu screen. X See page 62.
•HDV PB OUTPUT item:
Set the video format to be output from the video output terminal during tape playback.
• PB TAPE item:
Select whether to automatically detect the playback tape video format or play back only a particular format. Normally, use the “AUTO” setting.
• OUTPUT TERMINAL item:
Set either component or composite output.
Normally, use the “AUTO” setting.

In addition, you can use the PB TAPE item to set whether to automatically detect the video format of the playback tape or only play back a particular format when playing back a tape.
X See page 63.
CAUTION
Be careful not to apply excess force to the video signal out- put terminal when connecting or disconnecting the cable. This will cause poor contact or failure.
Displaying Alarms
• CHANGE 1394 SWITCH
Displayed when the setting for the input/output video format from the IEEE1394 connector and the setting for the IEEE1394 switch are different.
Set the IEEE1394 switch so it matches the video format.
