Set the VTR TRIGGER switch as follows when
operating this unit to control an external VCR
connected to the VTR/CCU connector or the DV OUT
connector.

Simultaneous recording on the external and
internal VCR: PARALLEL
Recording on the external VCR: EXT ONLY

• When the VTR TRIGGER switch is set to INT

ONLY, the camcorder controls only the internal VCR
even if an external VCR is connected.

• When external VCRs are connected to the VCR/CCU

and DV OUT connectors, both VCRs operate in the
same way under the control of the VTR button of this
camcorder or of the lens.
If you do not want to operate an external VCR
connected to the DV OUT connector, set the iLINK
CTL item on page 3 of the advanced menu to OFF.

• When external equipment, such as VCR, is connected

to the DV OUT connector, the ClipLink and the
audio fade-in/fade-out function during recording do
not work.

Note about simultaneous use of an external
VCR connected to the VTR/CCU connector
(26-pin) and an RM-M7G Remote Control Unit
connected to the REMOTE connector (10-pin)
About 15 seconds are required after the camcorder and
an external VCR are powered on for control of the
camcorder from a remote control unit to become
possible.
This limitation does not apply to the external VCR if it
is powered on after you have confirmed that the
camcorder can be controlled from the remote control
unit.

When the battery is getting exhausted, the BATT
indication in the display window blinks once a second
(see page 20). Replace the battery with a charged
battery immediately.
If you continue to use the low battery, the BATT
indication will blink four times a second, and the
operation will stop.

Turn the POWER switch OFF before replacing the
battery.

When the optional DSBK-501/501P Analog
Composite Input Board is fitted to this camcorder, you
can record external video signals.

Connect the external video signals to the GEN
LOCK IN/VIDEO IN Connector.

Set VIDEO IN to EXT using basic menu page 4.

Press the EJECT switch to open the cassette
holder, and insert the cassette.

Press the VTR button on the camcorder or lens.

The camcorder starts recording.

• If the external video signals include noise, such as

jitter, the camcorder may not record signals properly.

• When recording external analog video signals, signals

are not output from the S VIDEO OUT connector.

• When recording external analog video signals, setup

log data is not recorded on the tape (see page 115).
