Using the Unit as a Videocassette Recorder
Notes
• If you connect the output connectors of the unit to the
input connectors of the player, a humming noise may
be generated or the image may be distorted. If these
phenomena occur, set the INPUT SELECT switch to a
position where a signal is not currently being input, or
disconnect the cables.
• Distorted signals (i.e., when played back at a speed
other than normal) may not be recorded or may be
distorted.
• When you connect only AUDIO IN jacks when the
HDV indicator is lit, no audio is input. You must
connect the VIDEO IN jack at the same time or set
[HDV/DV SEL] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu to [DV].

30p, 1080/50i, 1080/25p), DVCAM, or DV format
i.LINK signal, the video and audio signals are sent
without any degradation in quality, enabling high-
quality recording. The signal flow is automatically
detected so you do not need to make separate
connections for input and output.
