Connecting a
Digital Video
Camera or
Other
Equipment
You can record from connected equipment,
such as a digital video camera.
Before Recording/Editing
The recorder has a DV IN jack that inputs digital signals, and
LINE jacks that input/output analogue signals.
The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the i.LINK
standard. You can connect other equipment that has an i.LINK
(DV) jack. For more information, see “About i.LINK”
(page 106).
If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the initial dub,
use the DV IN jack and record on a DVD-RW in VR mode.
◆ When recording from the DV IN jack
See “Preparing for recording using the DV IN jack” below.
◆ When recording from the LINE IN jacks
See “Recording From Equipment Connected to the LINE IN
Jacks” (page 88).
Preparing for recording using the DV IN
jack
You can connect a digital video camera to the DV IN jack on the
recorder to record or edit from a DV/Digital8 format tape.
Operation is smooth because the recorder will fast forward and
rewind the tape for you – you do not need to operate your digital
video camera. Do the following to start using the DV Edit
functions of this recorder.
See also the instruction manual supplied with the digital video
camera before connecting.
◆ If you connect a digital video camera but cannot use the DV
Edit functions
See “Recording from connected equipment” (page 88).
Notes
• The DV IN jack on this recorder is for input only. If you want to have
the recorder output signals, for example, when you use this recorder as
source player, connect other equipment to this recorder’s LINE OUT
jacks.
• Only DVC-SD format signals can be input to the DV IN jack on this
recorder. Do not connect a MICRO MV format digital video camera
even if it has an i.LINK jack.
• Recording may be limited if the images on the tape contain copyright
protection signals.

One Touch Dub (page 78)
Records the entire contents of a DV/Digital8 format tape to a
disc of your choice with a single touch of the ONE TOUCH
DUB button.
◆ Program Edit (page 79)
Allows you to select scenes from a DV/Digital8 format tape, and
then record the selected scenes to a disc of your choice. As you
select the scenes, you will create a “program” (see below), which
will then be used to dub the selected scenes to a disc. Before you
dub the scenes, you can rearrange the order and make other
changes using the “Scene List” (see below).
◆ Advanced Program Edit (page 81)
Allows you to select scenes from a DV/Digital8 format tape by
first recording the entire contents of the tape to a DVD-RW (VR
mode), whereupon you can easily create a “program” (see
below). By first copying the entire contents of the tape to a disc,
the start and stop points on the tape automatically become scenes
(you can also select scenes manually). These scenes are
displayed in a “scene list” (see below). You can then delete,
rearrange, or select new scenes to create a “program.” Once the
“program” is complete, you will use it to copy the scenes to a
disc of your choice from the “DV/D8 Edit List” (see below).
Furthermore, you can also automatically create a Playlist of the
edited scenes and save it on the DVD-RW (VR mode) you used
to originally record the entire contents of the tape.
◆ Re-editing the “ program ” in the DV/D8 Edit List (DVD-RW in
VR mode only) (page 84)
Allows you to select the “program” (see below) created during
One Touch Dub or Advanced Program Edit from the “DV/D8
Edit List” (see below), and make further edits before coping the
contents to a disc. You can delete or create new scenes, or
rearrange the order of existing scenes.
◆ Copy Dubbing (page 86)
Allows you to make duplicate copies of the “programs” (see
below) in the “DV/D8 Edit List” (see below) to a disc of your
choice. When making copies, you will need the original DV/
Digital8 format tapes used to create the “program.”
About “ programs ”
“Programs” are automatically created whenever you make a One
Touch Dub, Program Edit, or Advanced Program Edit. These
programs are stored in the “DV/D8 Edit List” (see below) and
contain editing information such as which scenes have been
selected, moved, or deleted.
Programs are useful when you want to make duplicates of the
edited contents because you do not have to select the same
scenes again from the tape – just select the program. You can
also re-edit the program to create different variations of the
original program. Note that programs contain only the start and
stop points of the scenes; they do not contain the actual scenes
themselves so you need to use the original DV/Digital8 format
tapes to copy a program to a disc.
◆ About the “ DV/D8 Edit List ”
The “DV/D8 Edit List” contains the “programs.” If you re-edit
the program, the re-edited program is stored in the DV/D8 Edit
List, but the original program is lost. You can store up to 20
programs in the DV/D8 Edit List.

About the “ Scene List ”
The contents of the programs are contained in the “Scene List.”
A thumbnail of each scene, as well as the length of the scene is
displayed in the list. You can add or delete scenes, or change the
order of the scenes. 50 scenes can be made for each program.
