11. USING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS 11-1 Connecting a Video Component with DV Connector Rear section of GY-DV550 DV LINE EARPHONE DC OUTPUT MIC +48V ON LINE MIC +48V ON FRONT AUDIO IN REAR INTERCOM DC INPUT DV connector Video component with DV Connector DV connector DV cable When connecting the GY-DV550 to other component with DV connector, be sure to observe the following procedure. When using the GY-DV550 as playback component 1. Turn ON both units. 2. Confirm that the VCR Setup Menu item No.126 INPUT SELECT is set to "CAMERA"(cA). * If set to "IEEE1394", set it to "CAMERA" and then turn ON the power again. 3. Insert the videocassette. 4. Connect the DV cable. * Always connect the DV cable last. Memo: • When the GY-DV550 is controlled through the DV connector, set the VCR Setup Menu item No.050 REMOTE SELECT to "IEEE1394". However, the following functions may not work depending on the component that the GY-DV550 is connected to. REC FF (FWD search is possible) REW (REV search is possible) • When the DV cable is connected for communication with another component, to stabilize the IEEE1394 output signal, the STILL mode is activated for a few seconds and the LED of the STILL button on the top section of the GY-DV550 lights when the mode is switched to PLAY or x1 FWD search. ∗ The x1 FWD search only works during IEEE1394 control or RS-232C control. • The operation method differs with the characteristics and specifications of the connected equipment. Even if connection is possible, operation or data communication may sometimes be impossible to perform. When using the GY-DV550 as recording component 1. Turn ON both units. 2. Set VCR Setup menu No. 257 AUDIO REF. SIGNAL LEV. For proper E-E audio output, set the VCR Setup Menu No. 257 to the audio reference level of the tape on the player (12 dB or -20 dB). Memo: When VCR Setup menu No. 126 INPUT SELECT is set to IEEE1394, No. 257 AUDIO REF. SIGNAL LEV setting cannot be changed. 3. Set the VCR Setup Menu item No.126 INPUT SELECT to "IEEE1394"(iE). 4. Insert the videocassette. 5. Connect the DV cable. * Always connect the DV cable last. Memo: • When recording while controlling the GY-DV550 through the DV connector from another component with DV connector, set the VCR Setup Menu item No.050 REMOTE SELECT to "IEEE1394". In this case, it takes approximately 2 to 3 seconds before recording starts on the GY-DV550. • The audio recording level to the tape constitutes an input signal reference level regardless of setting the VCR Setup Menu No. 257 AUDIO REF. SIGNAL LEV. When the GY-DV550 is used as camera, and a backup recording is made on another component via the DV connector, set the VCR Setup Menu item No.126 INPUT SELECT to "CAMERA". Note: If the above procedure is not performed correctly, the playback picture may be disturbed or the sound may fall out. If this happens, redo the connection by performing steps 1. to 4. described above. 70
