cAUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 (audio input channel 1/2)

connectors (XLR type, 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.

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

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

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

Signals input to the AUDIO IN CH-1 connector can be recorded on audio channels 1 and 3. Similarly, signals input to the AUDIO IN CH-2 connector can be recorded on audio channels 2 and 4. 1)

1)When the AUDIO IN (CH-1/CH-2/CH-3/CH-4) switches on the side control panel are set to “REAR” or “R”.

Note

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

d (i.LINK) DV OUT S400 connector (6-pin, IEEE 1394 compliant)

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

Notes

•If video and audio signals are not output from the

external device connected to the (i.LINK) DV OUT S400 connector, 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 1) 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.

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

eREMOTE connector (8-pin)

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

Note

Before connecting/disconnecting the Remote Control Unit to/from the camcorder, be sure to turn off the camcorder POWER switch.

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

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

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

gTC (timecode) connector (BNC type) and IN/OUT selector switch

•IN/OUT selector switch: IN

To apply an external lock to the timecode, input the reference timecode.

•IN/OUT selector switch: OUT

To lock the timecode of an external VTR to the timecode of this unit, connect this connector to the external VTR’s timecode input connector.

hVIDEO OUT (video output) connector (BNC type) Outputs a video signal for a video monitor. When the output signal is composite, setting menus, timecode, or shot data can be superimposed on the camera output video depending on the menu settings, and you can view them on the monitor screen. To lock the timecode of an external device to the timecode of this unit, connect the genlock signal input connector of the external device to this connector.

Notes

•The subcarrier phsase cannot be adjusted.

•Video signals are not output if the connection destinations of these connectors are not terminated properly.

iAUDIO OUT CH-1/CH-2 (audio output channel 1/ 2) connectors (phono jacks)

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