Playing and recording from a DV 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.
1 Make sure your DV camcorder is
connected to the front panel DV IN jack.
Also, set the camcorder to VTR mode.

Control with these
buttons
• You can pause or stop the recording by
selecting Pause Rec or Stop Rec from
the on-screen display. You cannot
control the camcorder from this remote
control during recording.
• If you restart recording after stopping the
camcorder, the first few seconds of the
camcorder tape will not be recorded.
Use the pause button on your camcorder
instead and recording will start
immediately.
• HDD, DVD (VR Mode) and DVD-RAM only:
A chapter marker is inserted every time
there is a break in the timecode on the
DV tape. This happens when the
recording is stopped or paused then
restarted, for example.
• If you don't want to see the DV recording
screen during recording, press DISPLAY
to hide it (press again to display).
• While recording, you cannot exit the DV
recording screen using the HOME
MENU or RETURN/EXIT button.
