DV terminal/connections
E
Digital video equipment fitted with this terminal lets you edit, copy and transfer
data digitally, with imperceptible loss in image and sound quality. The DV
terminal is for both line-in and line-out, since a single DV cable can handle data
in both directions.
Use a Canon CV-150F DV cable to connect two digital devices together. When
you are recording, make sure you connect the cable to the OPTURA before
connecting the other end of the cable to the recording device. When you are
recording to the OPTURA, slide the POWER switch to VCR and press its 2
(record) and a (pause) buttons down simultaneously ("DV IN" appears in the
display when you press "play" on the playback device). Then press its pause
button to start/pause recording.
If the cables are not connected properly, the camera displays the caution "CHECK
THE DV INPUT".
• The image displayed by the camcorder that is being recorded to (for example on
its LCD screen, an attached TV, or in its viewfinder) may become distorted
during digital dubbing. The actual recording on the tape, however, is not
affected.
• If you press the 2 (record) button with the DV cable unconnected, the camera
displays the caution "CHECK THE DV INPUT". An anomalous image may also
flash onto the screen.
• Blanks between recordings on the playback tape are recorded as anomalous
images on the tape that is being recorded to.
• When operating either camcorder with the DV cable connected do not turn the
power off.
