DV (digital video)/Digital8 Dubbing

Before DV (digital video)/
Digital8 Dubbing
This section explains dubbing with a digital video
camera via the DV IN (digital video in) jack on the
front panel. If you want to dub by way of the LINE
IN (line in) jacks, see "Recording from connected
equipment without a timer" on page 56.
To record from the DV IN (digital video in) jack
The DV IN (digital video in) jack on this recorder
conforms to the i.LINK standard. You can connect
any other equipment that has an i.LINK (DV
(digital video)) jack, and record digital signals.
Follow the instructions in "Preparing for DV
(digital video)/Digital8 dubbing," and then move
on to the section on dubbing. For more
information about i.LINK, see "About i.LINK" on
page 112.
z Hint
If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the
initial dub, use the DV IN (digital video in) jack and
record on a DVD-RW (VR mode) (digital video disc-
rewritable, minus RW (Video Recording mode)) or HDD
(hard disc drive).
Preparing for DV (digital video)/
Digital8 dubbing
You can connect a digital video camera to the DV
IN (digital video in) jack on the recorder to record
or edit from a DV (digital video)/Digital8 format
tape. Operation is straightforward because the
recorder will fast forward and rewind the tape for
you – you do not need to operate your digital video
camera. Do the following to start using the "DV
(digital video) Edit" functions of this recorder.
See the instruction manual supplied with the
digital video camera as well before connecting.

Notes
• The DV IN (digital video in) jack is for input only. It
will not output signals.
• You cannot use the DV IN (digital video in) jack when:
– your digital video camera does not work with this
recorder. Connect the camera to the LINE IN (line in)
jack and follow the instructions of "Recording from
connected equipment without a timer" on page 56.
– the input signal is not in DVC-SD (digital video
cassette-Standard Definition) format. Do not connect
a MICRO MV format digital video camera even if it
has an i.LINK jack.
– the images on the tape contain copy protection
signals, which limit recording.
• If you want to play the disc on other DVD (digital video
disc) equipment, finalize the disc (page 41).
