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 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.
1 Make sure your digital camcorder is connected to
the front panel DV IN jack.
Also, set the camcorder to VTR mode.
2 Set up the recorder.
• Use REC MODE to set the recording quality. See
Setting the picture quality/recording time on page 81
for detailed information.
• Make sure a recordable disc is loaded if you want to
record to DVD.
3 From the Initial Settings menu, check that the DV
audio input is setup as you require.
See DV Input on page 133 for more on this.
• Check also that the Audio In settings for External
Audio and Bilingual Recording are as you want
them (see Audio In Settings on page 132).
4 Press HOME MENU, select 'Copy', then 'DV
Record' from the menu.
• DV recording only works when the digital camcorder
is in VTR mode with a tape loaded.
5 Select 'Record to Hard Disk Drive' or 'Record to
DVD' to record to the hard disk drive or a recordable
DVD respectively.
6 Find the place on the camcorder tape that you
want to start recording from.
For best results, pause playback at the point from which
you want to record.
