THAN 25 cm FROM THE SURFACE OF THE
OBJECTIVE LENS ON THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED
LINE WITH MARK 0 ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS
AND IN THE PARTS LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE

Parts on Set
Earth Ground
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground
and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having
a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM
or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is
0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale.
The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a
passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital
multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes
and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
“pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors,
that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to
the customer and recommend their replacement.
4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend
their replacement.
5. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
6. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check
leakage as described below.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Unleaded solder
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
•Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than
ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350°C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
•Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than
ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such
as on IC pins, etc.
•Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

PRECAUTIONS
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) Before returning an instrument to the customer, always make a
safety check of the entire instrument, including, but not limited
to, the following items:
(1) Be sure that no built-in protective devices are defective or have
been defeated during servicing.
(1)Protective shields are provided to protect both the technician
and the customer. Correctly replace all missing protective
shields, including any removed for servicing convenience.
(2)When reinstalling the chassis and/or other assembly in the
cabinet, be sure to put back in place all protective devices,
including, but not limited to, nonmetallic control knobs,
insulating fish papers, adjustment and compartment covers/
shields, and isolation resistor/capacitor networks. Do not operate
this instrument or permit it to be operated without all protective
devices correctly installed and functioning.
(2) Be sure that there are no cabinet openings through which adults
or children might be able to insert their fingers and contact a
hazardous voltage. Such openings include, but are not limited
to, excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and an improperly
fitted and/or incorrectly secured cabinet back cover.
(3) Leakage Current Hot Check-With the instrument completely
reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC
outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test.)
Use a leakage current tester or a metering system that complies
with American National Standards institute (ANSI) C101.1
Leakage Current for Appliances and Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) 1270 (40.7). With the instrument’s AC switch first in the
ON position and then in the OFF position, measure from a known
earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed
metal parts of the instrument (antennas, handle brackets, metal
cabinets, screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.),
especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return
path to the chassis.
Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA. Reverse the
instrument power cord plug in the outlet and repeat the test. See
Fig. 1.
Any measurements not within the limits specified herein indicate
a potential shock hazard that must be eliminated before returning
the instrument to the customer.
(4) Insulation Resistance Test Cold Check-(1) Unplug the power
supply cord and connect a jumper wire between the two prongs
of the plug. (2) Turn on the power switch of the instrument. (3)
Measure the resistance with an ohmmeter between the jumpered
AC plug and all exposed metallic cabinet parts on the instrument,
such as screwheads, antenna, control shafts, handle brackets,
etc. When an exposed metallic part has a return path to the
chassis, the reading should be between 1 and 5.2 megohm. When
there is no return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinite.
If the reading is not within the limits specified, there is the
possibility of a shock hazard, and the instrument must be repared
and rechecked before it is returned to the customer. See Fig. 2.

2) Read and comply with all caution and safety related notes on or
inside the cabinet, or on the chassis.
3) Design Alteration Warning-Do not alter or add to the mechanical
or electrical design of this instrument. Design alterations and
additions, including but not limited to, circuit modifications and
the addition of items such as auxiliary audio output connections,
might alter the safety characteristics of this instrument and create
a hazard to the user. Any design alterations or additions will
make you, the servicer, responsible for personal injury or
property damage resulting therefrom.
4) Observe original lead dress. Take extra care to assure correct
lead dress in the following areas:
(1) near sharp edges, (2) near thermally hot parts (be sure that
leads and components do not touch thermally hot parts), (3) the
AC supply, (4) high voltage, and (5) antenna wiring. Always
inspect in all areas for pinched, out-of-place, or frayed wiring,
Do not change spacing between a component and the printed-
circuit board. Check the AC power cord for damage.
5) Components, parts, and/or wiring that appear to have overheated
or that are otherwise damaged should be replaced with
components, parts and/or wiring that meet original
specifications.
Additionally, determine the cause of overheating and/or damage
and, if necessary, take corrective action to remove any potential
safety hazard.

6) Product Safety Notice-Some electrical and mechanical parts
have special safety-related characteristics which are often not
evident from visual inspection, nor can the protection they give
necessarily be obtained by replacing them with components rated
for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that have special safety
characteristics are identified by shading, an ( ) or a ( ) on
schematics and parts lists. Use of a substitute replacement that
does not have the same safety characteristics as the
recommended replacement part might create shock, fire and/or
other hazards. Product safety is under review continuously and
new instructions are issued whenever appropriate.

2 SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Before servicing units covered by this service manual
and its supplements, read and follow the Safety Precautions section
of this manual.
Note: If unforseen circumstances create conflict between the
following servicing precautions and any of the safety precautions,
always follow the safety precautions. Remember: Safety First.
2-1 General Servicing Precautions
(1) a. Always unplug the instrument’s AC power cord from the AC
power source before (1) re-moving or reinstalling any
component, circuit board, module or any other instrument
assembly, (2) disconnecting any instrument electrical plug or
other electrical connection, (3) connecting a test substitute in
parallel with an electrolytic capacitor in the instrument.
b. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with
which instruments covered by this service manual might be
equipped.
c. Do not apply AC power to this instrument and/or any of its
electrical assemblies unless all solid-state device heat sinks
are correctly installed.
d. Always connect a test instrument’s ground lead to the
instrument chassis ground before connecting the test
instrument positive lead. Always remove the test instrument
ground lead last.
Note: Refer to the Safety Precautions section ground lead last.
(2) The service precautions are indicated or printed on the cabinet,
chassis or components. When servicing, follow the printed or
indicated service precautions and service materials.
(3) The components used in the unit have a specified flame
resistance and dielectric strength.
When replacing components, use components which have the
same ratings. Components identified by shading, by ( ) or by
() in the circuit diagram are important for safety or for the
characteristics of the unit. Always replace them with the exact
replacement components.
(4) An insulation tube or tape is sometimes used and some
components are raised above the printed wiring board for safety.
The internal wiring is sometimes clamped to prevent contact
with heating components. Install such elements as they were.
(5) After servicing, always check that the removed screws,
components, and wiring have been installed correctly and that
the portion around the serviced part has not been damaged and
so on. Further, check the insulation between the blades of the
attachment plug and accessible conductive parts.
2-2 Insulation Checking Procedure
Disconnect the attachment plug from the AC outlet and turn the
power ON. Connect the insulation resistance meter (500V) to the
blades of the attachment plug. The insulation resistance between
each blade of the attachment plug and accessible conductive parts
(see note) should be more than 1 Megohm.
Note: Accessible conductive parts include metal panels, input
terminals, earphone jacks, etc.

3 ESD PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily
by static electricity.
Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive
Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated
circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip
components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce
the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
(1) Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or
semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic
charge on your body by touching a known earth ground.
Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available
discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for
potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under
test.
(2) After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESD
devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as
aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or
exposure of the assembly.
(3) Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder
ESD devices.
(4) Use only an anti-static solder removal devices. Some solder
removal devices not classified as “anti-static” can generate
electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.
(5) Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate
electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.
(6) Do not remove a replacement ESD device from its protective
package until immediately before your are ready to install it.
(Most replacement ESD devices are packaged with leads
electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil
or comparable conductive materials).
(7) Immediately before removing the protective materials from the
leads of a replacement ESD device, touch the protective material
to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be
installed.
CAUTION: Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit,
and observe all other safety precautions.
(8) Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged
replacement ESD devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as
the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of
your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity
sufficient to damage an ESD device).
— 8 —
4 HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
The laser diode in the optical pick up may suffer electrostatic
breakdown because of potential static electricity from clothing and
your body.
The following method is recommended.
(1) Place a conductive sheet on the work bench (The black sheet
used for wrapping repair parts.)
(2) Place the set on the conductive sheet so that the chassis is
grounded to the sheet.
(3) Place your hands on the conductive sheet (This gives them the
same ground as the sheet.)
(4) Remove the optical pick up block
(5) Perform work on top of the conductive sheet. Be careful not to
let your clothes or any other static sources to touch the unit.
◆Be sure to put on a wrist strap grounded to the sheet.
◆Be sure to lay a conductive sheet made of copper etc. Which is
grounded to the table.
Fig.3
(6) Short the short terminal on the PCB, which is inside the Pick-
Up ASS’Y, before replacing the Pick-Up. (The short terminal is
shorted when the Pick-Up Ass’y is being lifted or moved.)
(7) After replacing the Pick-up, open the short terminal on the PCB.

Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which
mates DVD recorded material on one side with
digital audio material on the other side.
However, since the audio material side does not
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard,
playback on this product is not guaranteed.
Region code (DVD VIDEO only)
Your recorder has a region code printed on the rear
of the unit and will only play DVD VIDEOs
(playback only) labeled with identical region
codes. This system is used to protect copyrights.
DVD VIDEOs labeled will also play on this
recorder.
If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, a
message will appear on the TV screen to indicate
that the disc is not playable. Depending on the
DVD VIDEO, no region code indication may be
labeled even though playing the DVD VIDEO is
prohibited by area restrictions.
Music discs encoded with copyright protection
technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies are being
marketed by some record companies. Please be
aware that among those discs, there are some that
do not conform to the CD standard and may not be
playable by this product.

Notes on playing DTS soundtracks on a CD
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise
will be heard from the analog stereo jacks. To
avoid possible damage to the audio system, the
consumer should take proper precautions when
the analog stereo jacks of the recorder are
connected to an amplification system. To enjoy
DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external
5.1-channel decoder system must be connected to
the digital jack of the recorder.
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS soundtrack
DTS audio signals are output only through the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL)/HDMI
OUT jack.
When you play a DVD with DTS soundtracks, set
“Digital Out” – “DTS” to “On” of “Audio” in the
“Setup” display (page 82).
If you connect the recorder to audio equipment
without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to “On”
in “Audio” setup. A loud noise (or no sound) may
come out from the speakers, which might disturb
your ears or cause damage to the speakers.

•The recorder can play movie files that are recorded
with an HDD camcorder and have the extension
“.MPG.”
•You cannot play movie files recorded with a digital still
camera.
Notes
•The recorder may not be able to play some JPEG image
files, MP3 audio tracks or movie files that have been
edited on a PC.
•Do not disconnect a USB device while reading or
playing files.
•Some files may take time to appear. In particular, it
may take some time to read many files or large size
files, but this is not a malfunction.
•Do not turn off the power while reading or playing
files.
•USB cables exclusive for supplying power cannot be
used.
•Connect the camcorder or digital still camera directly
to the recorder, not via a USB hub or other USB device.

Recording
Before Recording
Before you start recording…
•This recorder can record on various disc types.
Select the disc type according to your needs
(page 30).
•Check that the disc has enough available space
for the recording (page 40). For DVD+RWs or
DVD-RWs, you can free up disc space by
erasing titles (page 58).
•Check that the recorder is connected to a tuner
such as a cable box or satellite receiver
(page 12). See also the tuner’s instruction
manual.
zHints
•To play a disc recorded with this recorder on other
equipment, finalize the disc (page 66). Note that you
cannot further record or edit on a finalized disc.
•If you set “Auto Finalize” to “On” in the “Features”
setup (page 85), the Auto Finalize function works for
DVD-RWs (Video mode), DVD-Rs (Video mode) and
DVD+Rs after recording. For details, see page 67.
Notes
•Timer recordings will start with or without the recorder
turned on. The recorder automatically turns off after a
recording has finished.
•This recorder records at ×1 speed.
Maximum recordable number of titles
Recording mode
Like the SP or EP recording mode of VCRs, this
recorder has eight different recording modes.
Select a recording mode according to the time and
picture quality you need. For example, if picture
quality is your top priority, select “HQ” (high
quality). If recording time is your priority, “SLP”
can be a possible choice.
Press REC MODE repeatedly to switch the
recording modes.
Recording mode and recording time
The following table is an approximate guide for
the recording time on a single DVD (4.7 GB).
zHint
The approximate recording time for DVD+R DL
(Double Layer) discs is as follows:
HQ: 1 hour 48 minutes
HSP: 2 hours 42 minutes
SP: 3 hours 37 minutes
LSP: 4 hours 31 minutes
ESP: 5 hours 25 minutes
LP: 7 hours 14 minutes
EP: 10 hours 51 minutes
SLP: 14 hours 28 minutes
Notes
•When in a recording mode other than HQ, the recorder
compresses the audio/video data before recording.
Since the compression rate needs to decrease for fast-
moving images or if picture noise is present, recorded
data size increases, and available recording time
becomes shorter. When recording such pictures, a
recording mode offering longer recording time is
recommended.
•Situations below may cause inaccuracies with the
recording time.
–Recording fast-moving or images containing picture
noise.
–Recording a program with poor reception, or a
program or video source of low picture quality

•Since the recording mode for recorded titles is
calculated after sampling the recorded data during
playback, it may be displayed differently from the
mode you selected when recording. However, the
actual recording itself is correctly made in the selected
mode.
Recording main and sub sounds
You can record the different soundtracks on a

Formatting a new disc
New, unformatted discs are automatically
formatted when first inserted in the recorder.
For DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, you can select a
recording format (VR mode or Video mode)
according to your needs (page 30).
•Unused DVD-RWs are automatically formatted
according to the setting of “Format DVD-RW”
in “Features” setup (page 85).
•Unused DVD-Rs are automatically formatted in
Video mode. To format in VR mode, change the
recording format using the “Disc Setting”
display (page 64).
Notes
•You cannot mix VR mode and Video mode on the same
DVD-RW or DVD-R.
•You can change the recording format on DVD-RWs by
reformatting (page 64).

Editing
Before Editing
This recorder offers various edit options for
various disc types. Before you edit, check the disc
type in the “Disc Information” display (page 64),
and select the option available for your disc.
Notes
•You may lose the edited contents if you remove the disc
or a timer recording starts while editing.
•You cannot edit recordings on DVD-RWs (Video
mode), DVD+Rs, or DVD-Rs (Video mode) recorded
on other DVD equipment.
Edit options for DVD+RWs/DVD-RWs
(Video mode)/DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs
(Video mode)
You can perform simple edits. Since Video mode
titles are actual recordings on the disc, you cannot
undo any edits you make. The edit functions
available for Video mode titles are:
–Renaming a title (page 61).
–Erasing a title (page 58).
–Setting protection against erasure (DVD+RWs
only) (page 58).
–Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase)
(DVD+RWs only) (page 59).
–Dividing a title (DVD+RWs only) (page 60).
Notes
•Once the disc is finalized, you cannot edit or record on
the disc (except for DVD+RWs).
•If a message appears and indicates that the disc’s
control information is full, erase unnecessary titles.
Edit options for DVD-RWs (VR mode)/
DVD-Rs (VR mode)
You can enjoy advanced edit functions. First you
have two options for a DVD-RW (VR mode) and
DVD-R (VR mode): editing either the original
recording (called the “original”), or the playback
information created from the original (called a
“Playlist”). Since each is different in nature and
offers different merits, read the following and
select the one that better suits your needs.
To edit original titles
Edits made to the original titles are final. If you
plan to retain an unaltered original recording,
create a Playlist (see below). The edit functions
available for original titles are:
–Renaming a title (page 61).
–Erasing a title (page 58).
–Erasing a chapter (page 59).
–Setting protection against erasure (page 58).
–Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 59).
–Dividing a title (page 60).
To create Playlist titles
A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles created from
the original title. When you create a Playlist, only
the control information necessary for playback,
such as the playback order, is stored on the disc.
The original titles are left unaltered.
If you erase an original title used in a Playlist, that
Playlist is also erased.
Example: You have recorded the final few
matches of a soccer tournament on a DVD-RW
(VR mode). You want to create a digest with the
goal scenes and other highlights, but you also want
to keep the original recording.
In this case, you can compile highlight scenes as a
Playlist title.

DV/D8 Dubbing (DV/D8 t DVD)
Before DV/D8 Dubbing
This section explains dubbing with a DV
camcorder via the DV IN jack on the front panel.
If you want to dub by way of the LINE IN jacks,
see “Recording From a VCR or Similar Device”
on page 56.
About the DV IN jack
The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the
i.LINK standard. You can connect any other
equipment that has an i.LINK (DV) jack, and
record digital signals.
For more information about i.LINK, see “About
i.LINK” on page 96.
zHint
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
(VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). Note that erasing
unwanted scenes does not free up disc space for DVD-Rs
(VR mode).
Notes
•The DV IN jack is for input only. It will not output
signals.
•You cannot use the DV IN jack when:
–your DV camcorder does not work with this recorder.
Connect the camcorder to the LINE IN jack and
follow the instructions of “Recording From a VCR or
Similar Device” on page 56.
–the input signal is not in DVC-SD format. Do not
connect a MICROMV format DV camcorder even if
it has an i.LINK jack.
–the input signal is in HDV (1080i) format.
–the images on the tape contain copy protection
signals, which limit recording.
Connecting a DV Camcorder
to the DV IN Jack
You can connect a DV camcorder to the DV IN
jack on the recorder to record or edit from a DV/
D8 format tape. Operation is straightforward
because the DVD recorder will fast forward and
rewind the tape for you – you do not need to
operate your DV camcorder.
Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the
DV camcorder as well before connecting.

DV/D8 Dubbing (DV/D8 t DVD)
69US
Dubbing From a DV/D8
Format Tape to a DVD
You can simply record the entire contents of a DV/
D8 format tape onto a disc. The recorder controls
the DV camcorder for the whole process. You can
also select the scenes on the tape using the on-
screen display. See “Dubbing selected scenes” on
page 70.
◆How titles and chapters are created
The dubbed contents on the disc become one title,
and the title is then divided into chapters at either
5 or 15-minute intervals, according to the “DVD
Auto Chapter” setting of “Features” in the “Setup”
display.
Notes
•To play the dubbed disc on other DVD equipment,
finalize the disc (page 66). If you set “Auto Finalize” to
“On” in the “Features” setup (page 85), the Auto
Finalize function works for DVD-RWs (Video mode),
DVD-Rs (Video mode) and DVD+Rs after dubbing.
For details, see page 67.

This section explains the following dubbing
methods via the USB jack:
•Dubbing all the video contents of the connected
DVD camcorder to make a backup DVD
(page 72).
•Dubbing the selected video contents of the
connected HDD camcorder to a DVD (page 73).
•Copying JPEG image files to a DVD (page 75).

DVD camcorder: DCR-DVD108
HDD camcorder: DCR-SR42
Digital still camera: DSC-W200/T100/T20/W80/
W90/H7/H9/G1
zHint
If your HDD camcorder has no USB jack, use the
Handycam Station supplied with the camcorder.
Notes
•During dubbing, do not disconnect the USB device.

Dubbing From a DVD
Camcorder (DVD Backup)
You can dub all the contents of a DVD in the DVD
camcorder to another DVD as a backup copy. Be
sure to finalize a source DVD before dubbing.
◆Usable discs for backup DVDs
Use a new or blank DVD of the same type as the
source DVD.
Notes
•When using a DVD+R/DVD-R, make sure that the disc
is new, unformatted, and has not been loaded into the
recorder. Since blank discs are automatically formatted
once loaded, you can use them for other purposes, such
as timer recording.
•When using a DVD+RW/DVD-RW, use unused or
blank discs only, as the operation erases any pre-
recorded data.
•Insert the disc only after step 4 when the disc tray has
opened. Otherwise the recorder may automatically
format the disc, making it unusable for DVD Backup.
1Press INPUT repeatedly to select “USB.”
2Connect your DVD camcorder and set it to
USB connecting mode.
For example, select “ COMPUTER” when
“USB SELECT” appears on the camcorder’s
screen.

About i.LINK
The DV IN jack on this recorder is an i.LINK-
compliant DV IN jack. This section describes the
i.LINK standard and its features.
What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling
digital video, digital audio and other data in two
directions between equipment having the i.LINK
jack, and for controlling other equipment.
i.LINK-compatible pieces of equipment can be
connected by a single i.LINK cable. Possible
applications are operations and data transactions
with various digital AV equipment. When two or
more i.LINK-compatible equipment are
connected to this recorder in a daisy chain,
operations and data transactions are possible with
not only the equipment that this recorder is
connected to but also with other devices via the
directly connected equipment.
Note, however, that the method of operation
sometimes varies according to the characteristics
and specifications of the equipment to be
connected, and that operations and data
transactions are sometimes not possible on some
connected equipment.
Note
Normally, only one piece of equipment can be connected
to this recorder by the i.LINK cable (DV connecting
cable). When connecting this recorder to i.LINK-
compatible equipment having two or more i.LINK jacks
(DV jacks), see the instruction manual of the equipment
to be connected.
About the name “i.LINK”
i.LINK is a more familiar term for IEEE 1394 data
transport bus proposed by SONY, and is a
trademark approved by many corporations.
IEEE 1394 is an international standard
standardized by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers.
i.LINK baud rate
i.LINK’s maximum baud rate varies according to
the equipment. Three maximum baud rates are
defined:
S100 (approx. 100 Mbps*)
S200 (approx. 200 Mbps)
S400 (approx. 400 Mbps)
The baud rate is listed under “Specifications” in
the instruction manual of each equipment. It is
also indicated near the i.LINK jack on some
equipment.
The maximum baud rate of equipment on which it
is not indicated such as this unit is “S100.”
When units are connected to equipment having a
different maximum baud rate, the baud rate
sometimes differs from the indicated baud rate.
*What is Mbps?
Mbps stands for megabits per second, or the amount of
data that can be sent or received in one second. For
example, a baud rate of 100 Mbps means that 100
megabits of data can be sent in one second.
i.LINK functions on this recorder
For details on how to dub when this recorder is
connected to other video equipment having DV
jacks, see page 68.
The DV jack on this recorder can only input DVC-
SD signals. It cannot output signals. The DV jack
will not accept MICROMV signals from
equipment such as a MICROMV digital video
camera with an i.LINK jack.
For further precautions, see the notes on page 68.
For details on precautions when connecting this
recorder, also see the instruction manuals for the
equipment to be connected.
Required i.LINK cable
Use the Sony i.LINK 4-pin-to-4-pin cable (during
DV/D8 dubbing).
