Recording from an External Input (Continued)

What is DV?

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a
DV-equipped camcorder to this VCR/DVD Recorder
using a single DV cable for input and output of audio,
video, data, and control signals.
The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE 1394-1995.
"i.LINK" and the "i.LINK" logo are trademarks.
• This VCR/DVD Recorder is only compatible with DV-
format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners
and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.
• You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at
a time to this VCR/DVD Recorder.
• You cannot control this VCR/DVD Recorder from
external equipment connected via the DV IN jack
(including two DVD Recorders).
• It may not always be possible to control the connect-
ed 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 VCR/DVD Recorder can only record one stereo
audio track. Set DV Record Audio to Audio 1 or Audio
2 as necessary (see page 24).
• 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.
• If DV Rec Audio is set to Audio 2, but no Audio 2 sig-
nal is present, DV Audio will be reset to Audio 1 auto-
matically.
