Open the jack cover and connect the cable.
Using an i.LINK cable (supplied)
Select the required settings from the table
below and make the menu settings.
b Notes
• Disconnect the i.LINK cable before changing
these menu settings, otherwise the VCR or
DVD/HDD recorders may not correctly identify
the video signal.
b Notes
• When [VCR HDV/DV] is set to [AUTO], and
the signal switches between HDV and DV
formats, the picture and sound are interrupted
temporarily.
• When the player and the recorder are both
HDV1080i compatible devices such as HDR-
HC5/HC7 and are connected with the i.LINK
cable, after pausing or stopping and then
resuming the recording, the images will be
unstable or rough at that point.
• Set [DISP OUTPUT] to [LCD PANEL] (default
setting) when connecting with an A/V
connecting cable (p. 62).
When connecting with the A/V
connecting cable with an S VIDEO
(optional)
Connect with S VIDEO jack instead of the
video plug (yellow). This connection
produces pictures more faithfully. The
audio will not be output when you connect
with the S VIDEO cable alone.
