Playing from a DV camcorder

1Make sure your DV camcorder is connected to the front panel DV IN jack.

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.
