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).
