b Notes
• When [VCR HDV/DV] is set to [AUTO], and the signal switches between HDV and DVCAM (DV)
formats, the picture and sound are interrupted temporarily.
• When the recorder is HVR-Z7E/Z7P, set [VCR HDV/DV] to [AUTO] (p. 83).
• When the player and the recorder are both HDV1080i compatible devices such as HVR-Z7E/Z7P and
connected with the i.LINK cable, after pausing or stopping and then resuming the recording, the images
will be a bit choppy or rough at that point.
• Set [DISP OUTPUT] to [LCD PANEL] (the default setting) when connecting with an A/V connecting
cable (p. 83).
When connecting with the A/V connecting cable with S VIDEO (optional)
Connect with S VIDEO jack instead of the video plug (yellow). This connection produces
pictures more faithfully. This connection produces higher quality DVCAM (DV) format
pictures. The audio will not be output when you connect with the S VIDEO cable alone.
