unit for backup recording, select “OFF” for DV
CONTROL on the external unit and set it to VCR
mode.
• Backup recording may not work properly if you
connect two or more external units.
• Use a DV (IEEE1394) cable of 4.5 m or less for
connection.
• Set the external unit up to receive DV signals
before backup recording.
• You can have a tape in the external unit start
recording automatically when the tape in this unit
is almost finished. Set DV CONTROL (Page 77)
to “CHAIN”.
• Note that images are recorded even when you
perform a rec check.
