Playing from a DV camcorder

1 Make sure your DV camcorder is
connected to the front panel DV IN jack.
2 From the Initial Setup menu, check
that the DV audio input is setup as you
would like.
See
DV Input
on page 106 for more on this.
•Check also that the
Audio In
settings for
External Audio
and
Dual Mono
Recording
are as you want them (see
Audio In
on page 105).
3 Select ‘DV’, then ‘DV Video
Playback’ from the Home Menu.
4 Start playback on the camcorder.
Images from the camcorder should appear
on your TV.
• To record the incoming video, press
HDD/DVD
to select the HDD or a DVD
for recording, then press
REC
. Press
STOP REC
to finish recording.
If there is no signal from the device
connected to the DV jack, or the signal is
copy-protected, recording will pause. It
will automatically restart once there is a
recordable signal.
• The recorder will only start recording
from the
DV IN
jack if there is a valid
signal. Recording will pause if the signal
is interrupted during recording.
• If your source is copy-protected using
Copy Guard, you will not be able to
record it. See
Restrictions on video
recording
on page 35 for more details.

Recording from a DV

camcorder

• The source signal must be DVC-SD
format.
• You can’t record date and time
information from DV cassette.
•During DV recording, if a part of the tape
is blank, or has copy-protected material
on it, this recorder will pause recording.
Recording will restart automatically
when there is a recordable signal.
However, if there is more than two
minutes of blank tape, this recorder will
stop recording and the camcorder
should stop (depending on the
camcorder).

Copying from a DV source

Using the recorder’s remote, you can control
both the camcorder and this recorder.
Important
• Some camcorders cannot be controlled
using this recorder’s remote.
• For best results when recording from a
DV camcorder to this recorder, we
recommend cueing the camcorder to the
place you want to start recording from
and setting the camcorder to play-pause.
