Preparation for Network Operation
Here we describe how to connect to the Internet with the USB devices.
There are two optional USB devices that can connect to your camcorder below:
– USB-PSTN Modem Adaptor (supplied to DCR-TRV39) (p. 20)
– USB-Ethernet Adaptor (p. 22)
For details of using these USB devices connected to your camcorder, refer also to the
operating instructions of the USB devices.
What is USB?
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is the specification for connecting various data
communication devices such as computers and their peripherals, PDAs and mobile
phones.
Before connection
Priority sequence of communication devices
– DCR-TRV80 only
When connected to a USB device but also within range of a Bluetooth device, your
camcorder automatically gives priority to communication with the USB device.
Notes
•Do not connect your camcorder with a USB device that is not a communication device.
Otherwise, “The Connected USB Device is not Compatible” appears on the screen and
your camcorder cannot communicate.
•Connect a USB device to your camcorder directly. Your camcorder cannot access the
Internet when connected through a USB hub.
•When using a Bluetooth device as a communication device, do not connect a USB
device to your camcorder (DCR-TRV80 only).
