About DV

Using DV, also known as i.LINK or IEEE 1394-
1995, you can connect a DV camcorder to
this recorder using a DV cable for input of
audio, video, data and control signals.
“i.LINK” and the “i.LINK” logo are
trademarks.
This recorder is only compatible with DV-
format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital
satellite receivers and Digital VHS video
recorders are not compatible.
You cannot connect more than one DV
camcorder at a time to this recorder.
You cannot control this recorder from
external equipment connected via the
DV IN
jack.
It may not always be possible to control
the connected camcorder via the
DV IN
jack.
DV camcorders can usually record audio
as stereo 16-bit / 48 kHz, or twin stereo
tracks of 12-bit / 32 kHz. This recorder
can only record one stereo audio track.
Set the
DV Input
setting as required
(see
DV Input
on page 143).
Audio input to the
DV IN
jack should be
32 kHz or 48 kHz (not 44.1 kHz).
Picture disturbance in the recording
may occur if the source component
pauses playback or plays an unrecorded
section of tape, or if the power fails in the
source component, or the DV cable is
disconnected.
The
DV IN
jack is an input only. There is
no output functionality.
Note
1If the audio subcode on the DV tape cannot be read correctly, the audio type will not switch automatically. You
can switch the audio manually from the
External Audio
setting (page 142).
