Note
• The unit does not send out the output signal to DV
camcorder.
• For the proper operation, connect DV camcorder
to the unit directly. Do not connect this unit and
the DV camcorder via any other unit.
• Do not connect more than one DV camcorder.
• The unit can only accept DV camcorder. Other
DV equipment such as Set-top Box, or D-VHS VCR
cannot be recognised.
• Date / time and cassette memory data will not be
recorded.
• Pictures with a copy-guard signal cannot be
recorded.
• A DV terminal is a terminal that can use the
transmission mode conforming to the IEEE 1394
standards called “Fire Wire”. It serves as the
interface that connects the PC and peripheral
equipment such as “i.Link” (registered trademark
of SONY). It enables digital dubbing between DV
devices with little degradation.
• You cannot dub from DVC to both DVD and VCR
format at the same time.
• You cannot change the output mode during DVC
to VCR dubbing. If you want to switch to the DVD
mode, stop the VCR first.
• During DVC to VCR dubbing, you cannot change
channels while paused.
• When the output is in DVD mode while playing
back a DVD using AV4 (DV-IN), you cannot switch
to the VCR mode.
• If you are using anything other than AV4 (DV-
IN) to playback DVD, you can switch to the VCR
mode, but cannot select AV4 (DV-IN) channel.
(You can select AV4 (DV-IN) after switching to the
DVD mode during VCR playback.)
• You cannot dub from DVC during timer standby
mode.
• During timer standby of either component,
you cannot select AV4 (DV-IN) even on the
component which is not in timer standby.
Before recording from DV
camcorder, see page 14 for
connection instructions.
Insert a recordable DVD-RW/-
R disc and make sure your DV
camcorder is in Playback mode.
