Notes

•Be sure to connect the i.LINK cable to a computer (editing machine) first and then connect it to the unit. If you connect the i.LINK cable to the unit first, it may cause the unit to malfunction because of static electricity.

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

•If the unit is connected to a device equipped with a

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

•Before connecting the i.LINK cable, set [HDV/DV SEL] and [i.LINK SET] in [IN/OUT REC] menu. If you perform the settings after connecting the cable, the computer (editing machine) may not recognize the unit correctly or may freeze.

•If you input or output signals in a format incompatible with the computer (editing machine), the computer may not recognize the unit correctly or may freeze.

•When set to EE mode, the unit outputs analog signals

those are input from HDV/DV jack to a computer. S Video or VIDEO signals are output from HDV/DV jack, according to the setting of INPUT SELECT switch. To output the playback image from the unit through HDV/DV jack only, set INPUT SELECT switch to HDV/DV.
