What Is Dv - LG DR7621W Owner's Manual

Recording from an External Input Source (Continued)

What is DV?

You can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this
recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of
audio, video, data and control signals.
• This Recorder is only compatible with DV-format
(DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital Satellite Tuners,
PCs, and D-VHS Video Recorders are not compati-
ble.
• You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at
a time to this Recorder.
• You cannot control this Recorder from external equip-
ment connected via the DV IN port (including two
DVD Recorders).
• It may not be possible to always control the connect-
ed Camcorder via the DV IN port.
• Digital Camcorders can usually record audio as
stereo 16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12-
bit/32kHz. This Recorder can only record one stereo
audio track. Set DV Rec Audio to Audio 1 or Audio 2
as required (see page 25).
• Audio input to the DV IN port 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 the DV cable becomes discon-
nected.
• Although DV Rec Audio is set to Audio 2 and Audio 2
signal is not present, DV Rec Audio will be reset to
Audio 1 automatically.
