Connecting a connector upside down may damage the parts inside the unit and cause malfunctioning. • When connecting the camera to a device with a 4-pin type 1394 connector, 6-pin type 4-pin type first connect the 6-pin type connector of the cable to the camera. • When recording signals from an external unit, first check that video signals are supplied. • While signals from an external unit are being recorded, do not stop output on the external unit side or disconnect any of cables. This may lead to a failure to recognize the signals when you do recording again. • While signals from an external unit are being recorded, do not change the format of the signals being output from the external unit. Doing so may make it impossible to record correctly. • Do not apply force when connecting 1394 cable to 1394 connector as this may damage the connector. • When signals are input from an external unit via the 1394 cable, video is output from the terminals such as the SDI OUT terminal, but the output video is only for check purpose and the quality is not guaranteed. (Frame skip and overlap occur.) • The automatic recording function in the DVD unit may not function properly. In a case like this, proceed with the recording manually. Editing 79
