Recording
Recording from a DV
camcorder
You can record from a DV camcorder
connected to the DV IN jack on the front
panel of this recorder. Using the recorder's
remote, you can control both the camcorder
and this recorder.
Before recording, make sure that the audio
input for the DV IN jack is setup (see DV
Input on page 103).
Important
• The source signal must be DVC-SD
format.
• Some camcorders cannot be controlled
using this recorder's remote.
• If you connect a second recorder using a
DV cable, you cannot control the second
unit from this one.
• You can't control this unit remotely from
a component connected to the DV IN
jack.
• 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 10
seconds of blank tape, this recorder will
stop recording and the camcorder
should stop (depending on the
camcorder).
• 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.
