NS-DRVCR DVD Recorder/VCR Recording from DV Input Before DV dubbing You can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to your recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data, and control signals. • Your recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD, DV25) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible. • You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to your recorder. • You cannot control your recorder from external equipment connected through the DV IN jack (including two recorders). • You may not be able to control the connected camcorder through the DV IN jack. • Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo 16-bit/48 kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12- bit/32 kHz. Your recorder can only record one stereo audio track. Set the DV Record Audio option to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as required (see "Recording from DV Input" on page 24). • Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48 kHz (not 44.1 kHz). • Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if the source component pauses playback or plays an unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in the source component, or the DV cable becomes disconnected. Recording from a digital camcorder You can record from a digital camcorder connected to the DV IN jack on the front panel of your recorder. Using the recorder's remote, you can control both the camcorder and your recorder. Before recording, make sure that the audio input for the DV IN jack is set up (see "Recording from DV Input" on page 24). Tip • The source signal must be DVC-SD format. • Some camcorders cannot be controlled using your recorder's remote. • If you connect a second recorder using a DV cable, you cannot control the second DVD from this one. • You cannot control the recorder remotely from a component connected to the DV IN jack. • You cannot record date and time information from a DV cassette. To record from a digital camcorder: 1 Make sure your digital camcorder is connected to the front panel DV IN jack. See "Recording from DV Input" on page 24. 2 Make sure that the DV audio input is set correctly. You can choose between Audio 1 (original audio) and Audio 2 (overdubbed audio). • DV Input is set from the DV Record Audio in sub-menu of the Setup menu. See "Recording from DV Input" on page 24 for more information. 3 Press INPUT repeatedly to select the DV input. 4 Find the place on the camcorder tape that you want to the recording to start from. For best results, pause playback at the point you want to start recording from. • Depending on your camcorder, you can use your recorder's remote to control the camcorder using STOP, PLAY, BACKWARD, FORWARD and PAUSE. 5 Press REC once to start recording. • Recording is automatically stopped if the recorder detects no signal. • You can pause or stop the recording by pressing PAUSE/STEP ( ) or STOP ( ). You cannot control the camcorder from this remote control during recording. • In Video mode, the final frame of the recording may remain displayed on screen for a while after recording stops. Troubleshooting If you cannot get a picture or audio through the DV IN jack, check the bullet points: • Make sure that the DV cable is correctly connected. • Try switching off the connected equipment then switching it back on. • Try switching the audio input. Note Depending on the connected camcorder, you may not be able to control it using the remote control supplied with your recorder. Editing recordings Title List and Chapter List menu overview Using the Title List menu you can edit video content. The editing features available in the Title List menu depend on whether you are editing video on DVD, and whether you are editing original content or a playlist. There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RWs. You can directly edit the original content of the disc, or you can create and edit a playlist. The playlist does not actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how the content is played back. 24 www.insignia-products.com
