Recording from DV Input
Before DV dubbing
You can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this
recorder using a single DV cable for input and output
of audio, video, data and control signals.
This recorder is only compatible with DV-format
(DVC-SD, DV25) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners
and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.
You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder
at a time to this recorder.
You cannot control this recorder from external
equipment connected via the DV IN jack (including
two recorders).
It may not always be possible to control the
connected camcorder via the DV IN jack.
Digital camcorders can usually record audio as
stereo 16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-
bit/32kHz. This recorder can only record one stereo
audio track. Set [DV Rec Audio] option to [Audio 1]
or [Audio 2] as required (see page 21).
Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or
48kHz (not 44.1kHz).
Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if
the source component pauses playback or plays an
unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in
the source component, or the DV cable becomes
disconnected.
