This recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD, DV25) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible. You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to this recorder. You cannot control this recorder from external equipment connected via the DV IN jack (including two recorders). It may not always be possible to control the connected camcorder via the DV IN jack. Digital camcorders can usually record audio as stereo 16-bit/48kHz, or twin stereo tracks of 12bit/32kHz. This recorder can only record one stereo audio track. Set [DV Record Audio] option to Audio 1 or Audio 2 as required (see page 22). Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or 48kHz (not 44.1kHz).
