DV/Digital8 Dubbing

Before DV/Digital8

Dubbing

This section explains dubbing with a digital

video camera via the DV IN jack on the front

panel. If you want to dub by way of the LINE

IN jacks, see “Recording from connected

equipment without a timer” on page 48.

The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to

the i.LINK standard.

Follow the instructions in “Preparing for DV/

Digital8 dubbing,” and then move on to the

section on dubbing. For more information

about i.LINK, see “About i.LINK” on

page 90.

You can connect a digital video camera to the

DV IN jack on the recorder to record or edit

from a DV/Digital8 format tape. Operation is

straightforward because the recorder will fast

forward and rewind the tape for you – you do

not need to operate your digital video camera.

Do the following to start using the “DV/D8

Edit” functions of this recorder.

See the instruction manual supplied with the

digital video camera as well before

connecting.

Hint

If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after

the initial dub, use the DV IN jack and record on a

DVD-RW/DVD-R (VR mode).

Notes

•

You cannot make a recording while DV dubbing.

•

The DV IN jack is for input only. It will not

output signals.

•

You cannot use the DV IN jack when:

–

signal input to the DV IN jack on the front panel

or recorder operation cannot be performed

correctly when using a digital video camera

(see “About i.LINK” on page 90). Connect the

camera to the LINE IN jack and follow the

instructions of “Recording from connected

equipment without a timer” on page 48.

– the input signal is not in DVC-SD format. Do

not connect a MICRO MV format digital video

camera even if it has an i.LINK jack.

– the images on the tape contain copy protection

signals, which limit recording.

•

If you want to play the disc on other DVD

equipment, finalize the disc (page 35).
