• Place in HDV/DV signal input mode.
* Depending on the used component, it may be neces- sary to set “REMOTE SELECT”.
•When
Also, set REM SEL HDV/DV in the REMOTE[1/2] menu of the
•Insert the tape and set to STOP or REC PAUSE status.
CAUTION
•Set the IEEE1394 switch on both devices to either HDV or DV.
•Start recording after making sure that both devices are properly connected.
•If the RET button is pressed during backup recording, output from the IEEE1394 terminal is stopped, the image is switched to the image recorded on this device, inter- rupting the backup recording image.

Connection
Connect the remote control unit cable to the REMOTE termi- nal.
Notes on Using the Remote Control Unit
• | When the switch function of this device and the remote |
| control unit are the same, the remote control switch func- |
| tion is prioritized. |
• | FOCUS and ZOOM cannot be adjusted with the remote |
| control unit. |
• | Shutter speed slightly differs from the value displayed on |
| this device. |
• Shutter Speed in 24p Mode | |
| When this device is in 24p mode, shutter speed cannot be |
| set to 1/60 (U model) or 1/50 (E model) with the remote |
| control unit. |
| Even if shutter speed is set to 1/60 or 1/50 with the remote |
| control unit when in 24p mode, the shutter speed for the |
| device is 1/48. |
• When H PHASE adjustment is performed with the remote | |
| control unit, only H PHASE of SD signal operates. |
• | When adjusting H PHASE of SD signal with the remote |
| control unit, it cannot be set outside the range of SD H |
| PHASE in the GENLOCK menu screen. X See page 99. |

• If the backup device is equipped with a feature to record |
time codes input from the IEEE1394 connector (TC |
DUPLICATE feature), time code data the same as on the |
master side can be recorded. |
If the master unit tape is paused or stopped when the |
master unit time code running mode is in REC RUN |
mode, the time code for the slave unit stops. |
