“Memory Stick”

Overview

access indicator

 

 

 

Insert a “Memory Stick”. The “Memory Stick” access indicator lights up when the “Memory Stick” is being accessed for reading or writing.

For details about how to insert a “Memory Stick”, see “To insert a “Memory Stick”” on page 109.

For details about the types of “Memory Stick”, see “About a “Memory Stick”” on page 123.

Note

Do not remove a “Memory Stick” while the “Memory Stick” access indicator is lit. Doing so may cause a loss of data.

fREMOTE connector (8-pin) (DSR-450WS/

450WSP only)

Connect a RM-B150/B750 Remote Control Unit, which makes it possible to control the camcorder remotely.

gDC OUT 12 V (DC power output) connector (4-pin,

female)

Supplies power for a WRR-861/862 UHF Synthesizer Tuner (optional) (maximum 0.2 A).

Do not connect any equipment other than the UHF synthesizer tuner.

hAUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 (audio input channel 1/2) connectors (XLR-3 pin, female) and input selection

switches

Connect other audio equipment or external microphone. Set the input selection switches as shown below according to the microphone or equipment.

MIC +48V ON (right position): For connecting to a 48 V microphone

MIC (center position): For connecting any microphone other than 48 V microphone

LINE (left position): For connecting an external audio signal source such as a stereo amplifier

Note

If MIC +48V ON is selected for a microphone other than 48 V microphone, the microphone may be damaged.

iWRR connector (7-pin)

Connect a CA-WR855 Camera Adaptor with attached WRR-855 UHF Synthesizer Tuner.

For details, see “Using a wireless microphone system” on page 35.

j (i.LINK) DV OUT connector (6-pin, IEEE1394 compliant)

Connect to a device supporting the DV format or a computer, using i.LINK cable (DV cable).

Notes

•If video and audio signals from an external device

connected to the (i.LINK) DV OUT connector are not output, disconnect the i.LINK cable (DV cable) and then reconnect it, making sure that it is firmly seated.

•When you connect the camcorder and other equipment, such as a hard disk drive, with an i.LINK interface to a computer with i.LINK connectors, turn off the power of the computer, the other equipment, and the camcorder before connecting them using the i.LINK cable (DV cable). If a bus-powered type* hard disk drive or similar equipment is connected while the computer is powered on, electric current flows into the camcorder because of the high voltage caused by the load shift of the computer power, and this may cause a malfunction.

* Equipment that can be powered through i.LINK cable (DV cable)

kAUDIO OUT CH-1/CH-2 (audio output channel 1/

2) connectors (pin jacks)

Output the sound being recorded or played back. Connect to a stereo amplifier or video monitor’s audio input connectors.

lVIDEO OUT connector (BNC type) (DSR-450WS/450WSP only)

Outputs a composite video signal for a video monitor. With a video monitor connected to this connector, you can monitor the picture being shot by the camera or the picture played back by the VTR. When synchronizing the time code of an external VTR with that of the camcorder, connect this connector to the GEN LOCK IN connector of the external VTR. By installing the CBK-SD01 SDI Output Board (optional), you can output an SDI signal (supporting embedded audio and the EDH function) from this connector. To switch the composite video signal output to SDI signal output, use the menu.

For details on how to select the output signal, see “Selecting the output signals (DSR-450WS/450WSP only)” on page 104.
