a -AC IN (AC power input) connector
Connect to an AC power supply with the power cord (not 
supplied).
POWER (main power) switch
Press the + side to power on the unit. Press the a side to 
power off.
When using the unit, normally leave the POWER switch in 
the + (on) position, and use the on/standby switch on the 
front panel to switch the unit between the operating state 
and standby state.
If you press the on/standby switch on the front panel while 
the unit is in the operating state, the unit saves its data and 
then enters the standby state (the on/standby indicator 
lights red). Before turning the main power off, always 
check to be sure that the unit is in the standby state, and 
then push the main power switch to the a side.
External device connection section
CONTROL connector (minijack 4-pole)
Connect the optional RM-LG2 Remote Control Unit.
RS232C (serial interface) connector (D-sub 9-pin, 
male)
Connect a computer or other device with a serial interface 
to control this unit from that device. 
When you use this connector, set the remote connector 
selector switch to the RS232C side, and set INTERFACE 
SELECT >REMOTE I/F in the setup menu to “9PIN/RS-
232C” (see page 103).
This unit cannot be used as a recorder for linear editing. 
When it receives an assemble command, this unit starts 
normal recording operation and creates a new clip.
REMOTE(9P) (remote control 9-pin) connector 
(D-sub 9-pin, RS-422A compliant, female)
To control this unit from a controller or VTR supporting 
the RS-422A Sony 9-pin VTR protocol, connect the device 
to this connector. When you use this connector, set the 
remote connector selector switch to the REMOTE(9P) 
side, and set INTERFACE SELECT > REMOTE I/F in the 
setup menu to “9PIN/RS-232C” (see page 103).
Remote connector selector switch
Push this switch to the side of the remote control connector 
you are using, either the RS232C connector or the 
REMOTE (9P) connector.
e
S400 connector (6-pin, IEEE1394 compliant)
Connect a DV device or computer using an i.LINK cable.
The following connection types are supported. They are 
selected by setting INTERFACE SELECT >i.LINK 
MODE in the setup menu (see page 103).
AV/C (Audio/Video Control) connection: Output 
DVCAM format digital video and audio signals 
(i.LINK MODE set to “AV/C”).
Audio output signals are 2ch or 4ch, as selected by 
AUDIO CONTROL >DV OUT MODE in the setup 
menu (see page 102).
FAM (file access mode) connection: Input and output 
files between this unit and a computer (i.LINK 
MODE set to “FAM (PC REMOTE)”).
• If video or audio signals from an external device 
connected to the  S400 connector fail to be output, 
disconnect the i.LINK cable and connect it again, 
pushing it straight in.
• Before connecting or disconnecting an i.LINK cable 
between this unit and a device with a 6-pin i.LINK 
connector, power off the device and disconnect its power 
cord from the electrical outlet. If the i.LINK cable is 
connected or disconnected with the device’s power plug 
still connected, high voltage (8 to 40 V) from the 
device’s i.LINK connector can flow into this unit, 
possibly damaging the unit.
• When connecting this unit to a device with a 6-pin 
i.LINK connector, connect to the 6-pin i.LINK 
connector of the other device first.
• Except in playback modes (jog and shuttle modes, etc.), 
audio signals output from this connector and monitored 
on another device may sound different from the audio 
signals played back on this unit.
f U (signal ground) terminal
Connect to the system ground.
