This section describes the connections, settings and operations necessary to perform playback on this unit. The same settings and operations apply whether you are using the unit for dubbing or as a stand-alone videocassette player.

Connections for PlaybackTo digital video equipment with a DV jack

The video and audio signals are sent with hardly any degradation, enabling high-quality recording. The signal flow is automatically detected so you do not need to make separate connections for input and output. Also, connecting the unit to an editing controller via DV jacks, you can configure a digital non-linear editing system.

For connections of the editing controller and this unit, refer to the editing controller instruction manual.

Notes

•With the DV connection, data codes (recording date/ time, camera data) recorded on the source tape are transmitted to the recorder. As a result, when you play back a recorded tape on this unit and press the DATA CODE button on the Remote Commander, the same data codes as those recorded on the source tape are displayed on the monitor screen.

•If no picture appears via the DV jack, disconnect the i.LINK cable (DV cable), then reinsert it straight.

•For connection of the editing controller and its peripheral devices, refer to the instruction manual of the editing controller and that of the editing software you use.

•Edit functions are specified by the editing software. For details on the editing methods, refer to the instruction manual of the editing software.

•When connecting a device that has a 6-pin DV jack to this unit, first, connect the plug of the cable to the 6- pin DV jack.

•If the unit is connected to a device equipped with a 6- pin DV jack, when you intend to disconnect or reconnect the DV cable, turn off the device and pull out the plug of its power cord from the AC outlet beforehand. If you connect or disconnect the DV cable while the device is connected to the AC outlet, high-voltage current (8 to 40 V) is output from the DV jack of the device to this unit, which may cause a malfunction.

•If you connect the input connectors of this unit to the output connectors of a recorder or that of a monitor, a humming noise may be generated or the image may be distorted. If these phenomena occur, perform one of the following:

–Set DV EE OUT on the VTR SET menu to OFF.

–Set the INPUT SELECT selector to a position where a signal is not currently being input.

–Disconnect the cables.
