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 57.

To record from the DV IN jack

The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the

i.LINK standard. You can connect any other

equipment that has an i.LINK (DV) jack, and

record digital signals.

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 108.

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

(VR mode) or HDD.

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 Edit” functions of

this recorder.

See the instruction manual supplied with the

digital video camera as well before connecting.

Notes

recorder. Connect the camera to the LINE IN jack

and follow the instructions of “Recording from

connected equipment without a timer” on page 57.

– 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 40).

Hookups

Press HDD or DVD to select the recording

destination.

If you select DVD, insert a disc (see “Inserting

a Disc” on page 31).
