Playing from a DV camcorder

1 Make sure your DV camcorder is
connected to the front panel DV IN jack.
2 From the Initial Setup menu, check
that the DV audio input is setup as you
would like.
See DV Input on page 117 for more on this.
• Check also that the Audio In settings for
External Audio and Bilingual
Recording are as you want them (see
Audio In on page 116).
HOME MENU
3 Select 'DV', then 'DV Video
Playback' from the Home Menu.
4 Start playback on the camcorder.
Images from the camcorder should appear
on your TV.
• To record the incoming video, press
HDD/DVD to select the HDD or a DVD
for recording, then press
STOP REC to finish recording.
If there is no signal from the device
connected to the DV jack, or the signal is
copy-protected, recording will pause. It
will automatically restart once there is a
recordable signal.
• The recorder will only start recording
from the DV IN jack if there is a valid
signal. Recording will pause if the signal
is interrupted during recording.
• If your source is copy-protected using
Copy Guard, you will not be able to
record it. See Restrictions on video
recording on page 50 for more details.
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).
Copying from a DV source
Using the recorder's remote, you can control
both the camcorder and this recorder.
• Some camcorders cannot be controlled
REC. Press
using this recorder's remote.
• For best results when recording from a
DV camcorder to this recorder, we
recommend cueing the camcorder to
the place you want to start recording
from and setting the camcorder to play-
pause.
