Playing and recording from a DV
camcorder
You can play back and record video from a DV camcorder
connected to the DV IN jack on the front panel of this
recorder.
Important
• If you connect a second recorder using a DV cable,
you cannot control the second unit from this one.
• You can't control this recorder remotely from a
component connected to the DV IN jack.

Playing from a DV camcorder

1 Make sure your DV camcorder is connected to
the front panel DV IN jack.
2 From the Initial Setup menu, check that the DV
audio input is setup as you would like.
See DV Input on page 140 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 on page 140).
3 Select 'DV', then 'DV Video Playback'
HOME MENU
from the Home Menu.
4 Start playback on the camcorder.
Images from the camcorder should appear on your TV.
• To record the incoming video, press HDD/DVD to
select the HDD or a DVD for recording, then press
REC. Press STOP REC to finish recording.
If there is no signal from the device connected to the
DV jack, or the signal is copy-protected, recording
will pause. It will automatically restart once there is a
recordable signal.
• The recorder will only start recording from the DV IN
jack if there is a valid signal. Recording will pause if
the signal is interrupted during recording.
• If your source is copy-protected using Copy Guard,
you will not be able to record it. See Restrictions on
video recording on page 80 for more details.

Recording from a DV camcorder

• The source signal must be DVC-SD format.
• 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 two minutes of blank tape, this recorder
will stop recording and the camcorder should stop
(depending on the camcorder).
