General “DV“ information
With DV (Digital Video, also known as i.LINK), you can use a DV cable as the audio,
video, data and control signals input / output to connect a camcorder that has DV to
this recorder. The i.LINK interface complies with the IEEE 194-1995 standard.
“i.LINK” and the “i.LINK” logo are trademarks.
This recorder is only compatible with “DV 5“ format camcorders. Digital satel-
lite tuners and digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.
You cannot connect more than one DV cam-corder at a time to this recorder.
You cannot control this recorder with external devices that are connected via
the DV IN socket (incl. two Recorders).
The camcorder connected via the DV IN socket cannot necessarily, in every
case, be controlled.
Digital camcorders can usually record audio as 16 bit/48 kHz stereo or twin
stereo tracks with 1 bit/ kHz. This recorder can only record one stereo audio
track. Set “DV Rec Audio“ as required or Audio 1 or Audio  (page ).
The sampling rate of the digital sound input to the DV IN socket must be either
 or 48 kHz (not 44.1 kHz).
Recording may suffer from interference if the camcorder stops playing back, if a
part of the tape that has not been recorded on is played back, if the electricity
supply to the camcorder is cut off, or if the DV cable comes out.
Troubleshooting
If you are not receiving images and/or sound via the DV IN socket, check the
following:
The DV cable must be properly connected.
Switch off the camcorder that is connected, and switch it back on.
Tune the audio input in to the recorder.
