NOTES:

When the USB cable is connected, turning on or off the camcorder or switching the VIDEO/MEMORY (DSC) mode on the camcorder causes malfunctions of the PC.

If you connect the camcorder to the PC through a USB hub, compatibility issues between the hub and the PC may result in instability in the operation of the PC. If this happens, connect the camcorder directly to the PC, not through the hub.

Do not use an extension USB cable.

You can also use a DV cable instead of a USB cable to capture video from a tape when using ImageMixer. For more details, refer to the online help. ( “For more detailed information” in the ImageMixer instruction manual on the CD-ROM)
