Chapter 2 Playback and Recording Recording This section describes the connections, settings and operations necessary to perform recording on this unit. The same settings and operations apply whether you are using the unit for dubbing or as a stand-alone recorder. Connections for Recording To digital video equipment with a DV jack The video and audio signals are sent with hardly any degradation, enabling high-quality recording. The signal flow is automatically detected so you do not need to make separate connections for input and output. Monitor DSR-45/45P (rear panel) i.LINK cable (DV cable) (not supplied) DV jack Digital video equipment with a DV jack Monitor : Signal flow Notes • With the DV connection, the sound is recorded in the same audio recording mode as that of the source tape. To record in a different audio recording mode from the source tape, use the analog connection instead. • With the DV connection, data codes (recording date/ time, camera data) recorded on the source tape are transmitted to the recorder (this unit). As a result, when you play back a recorded tape on this unit and press the DATA CODE button on the Remote Commander, the same data codes as those recorded on the source tape are displayed on the monitor screen. However, the contents of the cassette memory are not transmitted. If you want to transmit the contents of the cassette memory, use the duplicate function. • If no picture appears via the DV jack, disconnect the i.LINK cable (DV cable), then reinsert it straight. • When connecting a device that has a 6-pin DV jack to this unit, first, connect the plug of the cable to the 6pin DV jack. • If the unit is connected to a device equipped with a 6pin DV jack, when you intend to disconnect or reconnect the DV cable, turn off the device and pull out the plug of its power cord from the AC outlet beforehand. If you connect or disconnect the DV cable while the device is connected to the AC outlet, high-voltage current (8 to 40 V) is output from the DV jack of the device to this unit, which may cause a malfunction. • If DV input has been selected, the video signal output from the unit may be distorted, depending on the digital video equipment connected. • If you connect the output connectors of this unit to the input connectors of a player or that of a monitor, a humming noise may be generated or the image may be distorted. If these phenomena occur, perform one of the following: - Set DV EE OUT on the VTR SET menu to OFF. - Set the INPUT SELECT selector to a position where a signal is not currently being input. - Disconnect the cables. 41 Chapter 2 Playback and Recording (GB)
