Backup recording does not work in three
of the special recording modes: Interval
recording, One-shot recording and Loop
recording. (Page 44 – 46)
Please note that when performing backup
recording to a connected external device
with the time code of this unit set to REC
RUN, continuing recording when there is
no more free space on the P2 card inserted
into this unit causes the time code output
from the DVCPRO/DV terminal to halt.
Backup recording may not be performed by

succession.
Precautions in 1394 connections
• The camera-recorder does not supply power via
the cable.
• Observe the following in connections using a
1394 cable.
·
Connect this unit to only one other device.
·
Do not expose the DVCPRO/DV connector to
excessive force when connecting a 1394 cable
to avoid damaging the connector.
·
If an error (1394 INITIAL ERROR) should occur
when making a connection, reinsert the 1394
cable or turn the camera-recorder off and then
turn it back on again.
·
Make sure that the camera-recorder and all
connected devices are connected to ground
(or connected to a common ground). If the
equipment cannot be connected to ground, turn
off all connected devices before connecting or
disconnecting an IEEE1394 cable.
·
When connecting the unit to a device with a
4-pin connector, connect the cable to the 6-pin
connector on the camera-recorder first.
• Be sure to properly connect the 1394 cable to
the DVCPRO/DV connector on a computer with a
6-pin connector. Note that inserting the plug the
wrong way round may damage the connector.
