Chapter 2 Fitting and Connections
Connecting an External VCR
Connecting an i.LINK Digital Cassette Recorder
When you connect an i.LINK-compatible digital VCR
(such as the DSR-70A/70AP) to the DV OUT
connector of this camcorder using an i.LINK cable
(DV connecting cable), you can perform a cut editing or dubbing. In this case, set the camcorder’s VTR
TRIGGER switch to INT ONLY.
The camcorder begins to record when a REC
command is received from the connected VCR.
You can connect the following external VCRs to the
VTR/CCU connector (26-pin) or the DV OUT
connector for recording. Notes
• There is no power supply connection between the
camcorder and VCR. Provide separate power
supplies.
• The VTR/CCU connector always outputs the signals
from the camera. (The playback video of the internal
VCR cannot be output. Also, a CCU connection
cannot be made.
• When no VCR is connected to the VTR/CCU
connector (26-pin), it does not supply signals.
• A hub cannot be used to control a VCR connected to
the DV OUT connector, because the REC command
is not transmitted to the external VCR when a hub is
used.
However, a hub can be used to control this camcorder
from an external VCR.

Notes
• The camcorder does not support noiseless various
speed playback.
• To protect the tape, slow playback is automatically
cancelled if the slow playback lasts for about one
minute.
• When dubbing tapes using the DSR-70A/70AP, a
continuous recorded section of approximately five
seconds is required before the recording start point. It
is recommended to record color bars or a similar
signal beforehand at the start point of the source tape
to be dubbed on this camcorder.
