bNotes

When you play back a tape recorded in the HDV and DV formats by setting [HDV/DV SEL] to [AUTO], the picture and sound are temporarily interrupted when the signal switches between the HDV and DV formats.

Disconnect the i.LINK cable before changing [HDV/DV SEL] and [i.LINK CONV] settings. Otherwise, the VCR, DVD/HDD recorder may not be able to recognize the video signal from the VCR.

This VCR has a 4-pin i.LINK terminal. Select a cable that fits the terminal on the device to be connected.

zTips

When you use an i.LINK cable, the video and sound signals are transmitted digitally, producing high quality pictures.
