What is DV?
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a
DV-equipped camcorder to the HDD/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.
• The HDD/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 the HDD/DVD Recorder.
• It may not always be possible to control the
connected camcorder via the DV IN jack.
• 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 if the
DV cable becomes disconnected.
About DVD Recording
Notes on Recording
• The recording times shown are not exact
because the HDD/DVD Recorder uses variable
bit-rate video compression. This means that the
exact recording time will depend on the
material being recorded.
• When recording a TV broadcast, if the
reception is poor or the picture contains
interference, the recording times may be
shorter.
• Discs recorded at high speeds (equal to or
greater than 2X) may not be recognized.
• If you record still pictures or audio only, the
recording time may be longer.
• The displayed times for recording and time
remaining may not always add up to the exact
length of the disc.
• The available recording time may decrease if
you heavily edit a disc.
• When using a DVD+R disc, you can keep
8
˘ ` 8 mac001 1200DPI 100LPI
recording until the disc is full, or until you
finalise the disc. Before you start a recording
session, check the amount of recording time
left on the disc.
Recording TV Audio Channels
The HDD/DVD Recorder can record one or two
channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually
means mono or stereo, but some programs are
broadcast in bilingual audio channel. You can
record either BIL I, BIL II or both.
Restrictions on Video Recording
• You cannot record copy-protected video using
this HDD/DVD Recorder. Copy-protected video
includes DVD-Video discs and some satellite
broadcasts. If copy-protected material is
encountered during a recording, recording will
pause or stop automatically and an error
message will be displayed on-screen.
