Recording from an External Input (Continued)
What is DV?
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) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and
Digital TAPE 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 DVD 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 Record Audio to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as
required (see page 25).
• 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 discon-
nected.
• Although DV Record Audio is set to Audio 2 and
Audio 2 signal is not present, DV Record Audio will be
reset to Audio 1 automatically.
