Connecting external units (continued)
g You can connect a digital video unit equipped with a DV connector and digitally transfer video and
audio signals as well as time code.
• Before proceeding to connect or disconnect DV (IEEE1394) cable, be absolutely sure to turn off the power
of the units.
• Before proceeding to connect the unit which uses a 6-pin type DV connector,
carefully check the shape of the DV (IEEE1394) cable and the connectors on
the DV (IEEE1394) cable. Connecting a connector upside down may
damage the parts inside the unit and cause malfunctioning. Furthermore,
connect the DV (IEEE1394) cable to the unit which uses a 6-pin type DV
connector first. ((1)(2))
• When recording signals from an external unit, first check that video signals
are supplied.
• While signals from an external unit are being recorded, do not stop output on the external unit side or
disconnect any of cables. This may lead to a failure to recognize the signals when you do recording again.
• Do not apply force when connecting DV (IEEE1394) cable to DV connector as this may damage the
connector.
