Recording from an External Input
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to the DVD RVCR using a
single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals.
The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE 1394-1995.
“i.LINK” and the “i.LINK” logo are trademarks.
• The DVD RVCR is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners
and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.
• You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to the DVD RVCR.
• You cannot control the DVD RVCR from external equipment connected via the DV IN jack (including
two DVD Recorders).
• It may not always be possible to control the connected camcorder via the DV IN jack.
• Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz (not 44.1kHz).
• Picture disturbance on the recording may occur if the source component pauses playback or plays an
unrecorded section of tape, or if the power fails in the source component, or if the DV cable becomes
disconnected.
