Notes

If you connect the output connectors of this unit to the input connectors of the player, a humming noise may be generated or the image may be distorted. If these phenomena occur, set the INPUT SELECT switch to a position where a signal is not currently being input, or disconnect the cables.

Distorted signals (e.g., when played back at a speed other than normal) may not be recorded or may be distorted.

When you input video signals of the 4:3 aspect ratio to the unit, black bands appear on the left and right side of the screen on the unit.

When you connect only the AUDIO IN jack when the HDV indicator is lit, no audio is input. You must connect the VIDEO IN jack at the same time or set [VCR HDV/DV] on the [IN/OUT REC] menu to [DV].
