Step 2: Optional Connections (conti nued)
Connecting a camcorder to the front sockets
You can use the front sockets to copy
camcorder recordings. These sockets are
located behind the  ap on the right which
provides convenient connections.
Option 1: Using the DV IN socket
Use this connection if you have a Digital
Video or Digital 8 camcorder. The DV
socket conforms to the i.LINK standard.
Use an i.LINK 4-pin cable (not supplied)
to connect the DV IN socket at the
front panel of the recorder to the
appropriate DV OUT socket on the
camcorder.
Before you start operating, press
SOURCE on the remote control
repeatedly to select ‘DV’ as the input
channel.
Helpful Hints:
– The DV IN socket does not support
a connection to a Personal Computer.
– It is not possible to record from the
recorder to your camcorder via the DV IN
socket on your recorder.
Option 2: Using the VIDEO In or
S-VIDEO In sockets
Use this connection if you have a Hi8 or
S-VHS(C) camcorder or if your
camcorder has only a single video output
socket (Composite Video, CVBS).
A Use a video cable (not supplied) to
connect the CAM 1 socket at the front
panel of the recorder to the Video
output socket on the connected video
device.
Alternatively, use an S-Video cable to
connect the CAM 2 socket if the
connected video device has the S-Video
output socket. It provides better picture
quality.
B Use an audio cable (not supplied) to
connect the AUDIO L/R sockets at the
front panel of the recorder to the audio
output sockets on the connected video
device.
Before you start operating, press
SOURCE on the remote control
repeatedly to select ‘CAM1’ or ‘CAM2’

connections.
