Connections to the DVCPRO/DV connector (continued)
Precautions in 1394 connections
• The camera-recorder does not supply power via
the cable.
• Observe the following in connections using a
1394 cable.
· Connect this unit to only one other device.
· Do not expose the DVCPRO/DV connector to
excessive force when connecting a 1394 cable
to avoid damaging the connector.
· If an error (1394 INITIAL ERROR) should occur
when making a connection, reinsert the 1394
cable or turn the camera-recorder off and then
turn it back on again.
· Make sure that the camera-recorder and all
connected devices are connected to ground
(or connected to a common ground). If the
equipment cannot be connected to ground, turn
off all connected devices before connecting or
disconnecting an IEEE1394 cable.
· When connecting the unit to a device with a
4-pin connector, connect the cable to the 6-pin
connector on the camera-recorder first.
• Be sure to properly connect the 1394 cable to
the DVCPRO/DV connector on a computer with a
6-pin connector. Note that inserting the plug the
wrong way round may damage the connector.
