camcorder recordings. These jacks are
located behind the fl ap on the right which
provides convenient connections.
Option 1: Using the DV IN jack
Use this connection if you have a Digital
Video or Digital 8 camcorder. The DV

Use an i.LINK 4-pin cable (not supplied)
to connect the DV IN jack on the front
panel of the recorder to the appropriate
DV OUT jack on the camcorder.
Before you start operating, press
SOURCE on the remote control
repeatedly to select ‘DV’ as the input
channel.

jack on your recorder.
Option 2: Using the VIDEO In or
