Recording

Recording from a DV camcorder

You can record from a DV camcorder connected to the

DV IN/OUT

jack on the front panel of the main system

unit. Using the supplied remote, you can control both the
camcorder and this system.

Before recording, make sure that the audio input for the

DV IN/OUT

jack is setup (see

DV Input

on page 108).

Important

• The source signal must be DVC-SD format

• Some camcorders cannot be controlled using this

system’s remote.

• If you connect a DVD recorder using a DV cable, you

cannot control the second unit from this one.

• You can’t control this unit remotely from a

component connected to the

DV IN/OUT

jack.

• You can’t record date and time information from DV

cassette.

• During DV recording, if a part of the tape is blank, or

has copy-protected material on it, this system will
pause recording. Recording will restart automatically
when there is a recordable signal. However, if there is
more than 10 seconds of blank tape, the recorder will
stop recording and the camcorder should stop
(depending on the camcorder).

• For best results when recording from a DV

camcorder, we recommend cueing the camcorder to
the place you want to start recording from and
setting the camcorder to play-pause.

Make sure your digital camcorder is connected to

the front panel DV IN/OUT jack.

Also, set the camcorder to VTR mode.

Set up for recording.

• Use

REC MODE

to set the recording quality. See

Setting the picture quality/recording time

on page 46

for detailed information.

• Make sure a recordable disc is loaded if you want to

record to DVD.

From the Initial Settings menu, check that the DV

audio input is setup as you require.

See

DV Input

on page 108 for more on this.

• Check also that the

Audio In

settings for

External

Audio

and

Bilingual Recording

are as you want

them (see

Audio In settings

on page 107).

Press HOME MENU and select ‘DV Record’ from

the menu.

• DV recording only works when the digital camcorder

is in VTR mode with a tape loaded.

Select ‘Record to HDD’ or ‘Record to DVD’ to

record to the hard disk drive or a recordable DVD
respectively.

Find the place on the camcorder tape that you

want to start recording from.

For best results, pause playback at the point from which
you want to record.

• Depending on your camcorder, you can use this

system’s remote to control the camcorder using the

and

buttons.

Use the

(cursor up/down) buttons to select

‘Start Rec’ and press ENTER.

• Recording is automatically paused if no signal is

detected, or if the signal is copy-protected. Recording
restarts when there is a non-copy-protected signal.

• You can pause or stop the recording by selecting

Pause Rec

Stop Rec

from the on-screen display.

You cannot control the camcorder from this remote
control during recording.

• If you restart recording after stopping the camcorder,

the first few seconds of the camcorder tape will not
be recorded. Use the pause button on your
camcorder instead and recording will start
immediately.
