Recording from a DV camcorder
(DVR-520H only)
You can record from a DV camcorder connected to the
DV IN/OUT jack on the front panel of this recorder. Using
the recorder’s remote, you can control both the
camcorder and this recorder.
Before recording, make sure that the audio input for the
DV IN/OUT jack is setup (see DV Input (DVR-520H only)
on page 97).
Important
• The source signal must be DVC-SD format
• Some camcorders cannot be controlled using this
recorder’s remote.
• If you connect a second recorder using a DV cable,
you cannot control the second unit from this one.
• You can’t control this unit remotely from a
component connected to the DV IN/OUT jack.
• You can’t record date and time information from DV
cassette.
• During DV recording, if a part of the tape is blank, or
has copy-protected material on it, this recorder will
pause recording. Recording will restart automatically
when there is a recordable signal. However, if there is
more than 10 seconds of blank tape, this recorder will
stop recording and the camcorder should stop
(depending on the camcorder).
• For best results when recording from a DV
camcorder to this recorder, we recommend cueing
the camcorder to the place you want to start
recording from and setting the camcorder to play-
pause.

the front panel DV IN/OUT jack.

See DV Input (DVR-520H only) on page 97 for more on
this.

Audio and Dual Mono Recording are as you want
them (see Audio In settings on page 97).
