Connecting a camcorder to
the front jacks
You can use the front jacks to copy
camcorder recordings. These jacks are
located behind the fl ap on the right hand
side and provides convenient connections
for a camcorder.
Option 1: Using the DV IN jack
Use this connection if you have a Digital
Video or Digital 8 camcorder. The DV
jack conforms to the i.LINK standard.
It provides the best picture quality.
Use an i.LINK 4-pin cable (not supplied)
to connect the DV IN jack on the
recorder to the appropriate DV OUT
jack on the camcorder.
Before you start operating, press DV on
the remote control to select ‘DV’ as the
input channel. For recording, see pages
29~39.
Helpful Hints:
– The DV IN jack does not support a
connection to a Personal Computer.
– It is not possible to record from the
recorder to your camcorder via the DV IN
jack on your recorder.
Option 2: Using the S-VIDEO In or
VIDEO In jack
Use the S-VIDEO connection if you have a
Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder. It provides
good picture quality.
Alternatively, you can use the VIDEO
connection if your camcorder has only a
single video output (Composite Video,
CVBS.)
A Connect the S-VIDEO or VIDEO jack
on the front panel of the recorder to the
corresponding S-VHS or Video output
jack on the camcorder.
B Use an audio cable (red/white ends) to
connect the AUDIO L/R jacks on the
front panel of the recorder to the audio
output jacks on the camcorder.
Before you start operating, press
SOURCE on the remote control
repeatedly to select ‘CAM1’ or ‘CAM2’
as the input channel, depending on your
connections. For recording, see pages
29~39.
