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 XL1 before connecting
the other end of the cable to the recording
device.
When you are recording
to the XL1, turn the POWER
dial to VCR and press its •
(REC) and || (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.
Notes:
• If the cables are not connected
properly,
the camera displays
the caution "CHECK
THE DV INPUT".
• The image displayed
by tlle camcorder
that is being recorded
to (for example
on 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 O (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.
• You must attach both digital devices to a power source for digital dubbing
to take place.
