b Notes
• You cannot record TV programs from the DV
interface (i.LINK).
• User bits are not recorded when dubbing from a
DVCAM (DV) device via an i.LINK cable.
• You can record pictures from DV devices only
in the DVCAM (DV) format.
• Note the following when connecting with an
i.LINK cable:
– The recorded picture becomes rough when a
picture is paused on your camcorder while
recording.
– You cannot record the picture and sound
separately.
– If you pause or stop the recording and restart
it, the picture may not be recorded smoothly.
• If video signals input to your camcorder via the
DV jack experience the phenomenon of
jittering (variation in frequency), that jittering is
contained in the video signals output from the
A/V Remote Connector. When you monitor a
movie on a TV connected to your camcorder via
the A/V Remote Connector, images may be
distorted or not displayed. Jittering will not
affect recording of the movie on a tape with
your camcorder but may affect recording of the
movie with another VCR connected to your
camcorder via the A/V Remote Connector.
