You can record from connected equipment,
such as a digital video camera.
Before Recording/Editing
The recorder has a DV IN jack that inputs digital signals, and
LINE jacks that input/output analogue signals.
The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the i.LINK
standard. You can connect other equipment that has an i.LINK
(DV) jack although it is for input only. If you want to have the
recorder to output signals, use the LINE jacks. For more
information, see “About i.LINK” (page 90).
If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the initial dub,
use the DV IN jack and record on a DVD-RW in VR mode.
◆When recording from the DV IN jack
See “Preparing for recording using the DV IN jack” below.
◆When recording from the LINE IN jacks
See “Recording From Equipment Connected to the LINE IN
Jacks” (page 71).
Preparing for recording using the DV IN
jack
You can connect a digital video camera to the DV IN jack on the
recorder to record or edit from a DV/Digital8 format tape.
Operation is smooth because the recorder will fast forward and
rewind the tape for you – you do not need to operate your digital
video camera. Do the following to start using the DV Edit
functions of this recorder.
See also the instruction manual supplied with the digital video
camera before connecting.
Notes
• The DV IN jack on this recorder is for input only.
• Only DVC-SD format signals can be input to the DV IN jack on this
recorder. Do not connect a MICRO MV format digital video camera
even if it has an i.LINK jack.
• Recording may be limited if the images on the tape contain copyright
protection signals.
