computer. After connecting the device, turn its power back on. You do not need 
to turn off the computer when connecting the camcorder.

❑

Under the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system, do not capture DV-
AVI video files to the root directory (the top level) of your hard disk drive. 
Instead, create a folder and capture files to this folder.

❑

Do not use DVgate™ software when the connected digital video device is in 
Timer Recording mode, as this may produce a malfunction in the device.

❑

Video captures larger than 2 GB (9 minutes and 30 seconds) are 
automatically continued in a second file.

❑

You can record stereo audio (stereo 1) while capturing video, or you can add 
audio on the stereo 2 track after capturing the video data. 

❑

You cannot use different audio modes on the same tape. Perform a separate 
capture for each audio mode you wish to use. 

❑

DVgate software does not support hard disk compression. Do not use disk 
compression if you are planning to work with DVgate software.

❑

Title data is saved in the flash memory of a digital video camera and is not 
transferred to tape by DVgate software. 

❑

Disable your screen saver program to avoid interruption during your capture 
sessions.

❑

The drop frame compensation feature does not provide accurate 
compensation adjustments for tapes recorded in LP mode.
