Recording from a DV camcorder
You can record from a DV camcorder connected to the
DV IN/OUT
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/OUT
jack is setup (see
DV Input
on page 75).
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/OUT
jack.
• You can’t record date and time information from DV
cassette.
• You can’t record copy-protected or copy-once
material.
• 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.
• 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.

the menu.
