❑
Use an i.LINK™ cable to connect DV devices to the computer. Click to DVD and Click to DVD Automatic
Mode will not work if you use a USB cable to make this connection.
❑
When loading images from a device, do not turn off or unplug the device, and do not operate any of its

recording time exceeds the DVD capacity, audio is first compressed to AC-3 format. If the recording still
exceeds DVD capacity, the video bit rate is reduced.
