(continued)
Connecting a camcorder to 
the front jacks
You can use the front jacks to copy 
camcorder recordings. These jacks are 
located behind the fl ap on the right which 
provides convenient connections.
Option 1: Using the DV IN jack
Use this connection if you have a Digital 
Video or Digital 8 camcorder. The DV 
jack conforms to the i.LINK standard. 
  Use an i.LINK 4-pin cable (not supplied) 
to connect the DV IN jack on the front 
panel of the recorder to the appropriate 
DV OUT jack on the camcorder.
Before you start operating, press 
SOURCE on the remote control 
repeatedly to select ‘DV’ as the input 
channel. 
Helpful Hints:
–  The DV IN jack does not support a 
connection to a Personal Computer.
–  It is not possible to record from the 
recorder to your camcorder via the DV IN 
jack on your recorder.
Option 2: Using the VIDEO In or 
S-VIDEO In jacks
Use this connection if you have a Hi8 or 
S-VHS(C) camcorder or if your 
camcorder has only a single video output 
jack (Composite Video, CVBS.)
A
 Use a video cable (not supplied) to 
connect the CAM 1 jack on the front 
panel of the recorder to the Video 
output jack on the connected video 
device.
 OR,
  Use an S-Video cable to connect the 
CAM 2 jack if the connected video 
device has the S-Video output jack.  It 
provides better picture quality.

connect the AUDIO L/R jacks on the
