Do the following to start using the DV Edit functions of this recorder. See also the instruction manual supplied with the digital video camera before connecting. ◆If you connect a digital video camera but cannot use the DV Edit functions See "Recording from connected equipment" (page 88). Notes • The DV IN jack on this recorder is for input only. If you want to have the recorder output signals, for example, when you use this recorder as source player, connect other equipment to this recorder's LINE OUT jacks. • Only DVC-SD format signals can be input to the DV IN jack on this recorder. Do not connect a MICRO MV format digital video camera even if it has an i.LINK jack. • Recording may be limited if the images on the tape contain copyright protection signals. ,continued 75 Before Recording/Editing Connecting a Digital Video Camera or Other Equipment
