Playback and Recording
This section describes the necessary connections, settings and operations
to perform playback on this unit.  The same settings and operations apply
whether you are using the unit as part of an editing system, for dubbing, or
as a stand-alone videocassette player.
Connections for Playback
To digital video equipment with the DV jack
The video and audio signals are sent with hardly any degradation, enabling
high-quality recording. The signal flow is automatically detected so you
need not make separate connections for input and output.
Notes
• The external lock function of this unit only supports the standard sync
signals. With the DV connection, select the DV input with the INPUT
SELECT button on this VCR to prevent malfunction resulting from
noise, etc.
• Set DV EE OUT in the menu to OFF (see page 52).
• With the DV connection, the sound is recorded in the same audio
recording mode as that of the source tape.
• With the DV connection, tape information (recording date, camcorder
data, etc.) recorded on the source tape is transmitted from this VCR
(player).
