equipped with HDV/DV connector (IEEE1394 standard) using
a IEEE1394 cable (optional) enables dubbing of digital sig-
nals with high picture quality and high-quality sound.

MEMO
• Switch the IEEE1394 switch when the camcorder is OFF.
• When you dub still images, they are low resolution
images. Noise may also enter the audio.
• Operations may differ depending on the features and
specifications of the connected device, and operations or
data exchange may not be possible even if the devices
are connected.
• If noise appears on the screen or the audio cuts out, re-
connect the IEEE1394 cable or turn the GY-HD100 on
again.
• If you turn the power to the device connected to the
IEEE1394 connector on and off or switch the video input,
noise may occur in the audio. If you perform this type of
operation, set the speaker volume as low as possible on
the audio device connected to the camcorder.
• Recording may not be possible in some cases even if the
recorder is equipped with a IEEE1394 connector.
