If you connect the VCR to the HDV1080i compatible device and restart recording after pausing or stopping, the picture may not be recorded smoothly.

You cannot record the picture and sound separately.

When dubbing to a DVD/HDD recorder from the VCR via an i.LINK cable, you may not operate the VCR on your DVD/HDD recorder even you were instructed by the operation manual.
