To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the user should take proper precautions when the LINE 3-TV/LINE 1/DECODER/LINE 2 OUT (R-AUDIO-L) jacks of the recorder are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external DTS decoder must be connected to the DIGITAL OUT jack of the recorder. Set the sound to Stereo using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 75).

About editing accuracy
When editing the titles recorded on the HDD, you can select the type of editing. Video Mode Compatible Editing: Recommended if you are going to dub the titles to DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs (Video mode) or DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs afterward by Highspeed dubbing. The editing points and chapter marks may be slightly different from those you selected. Frame Accurate Editing: Recommended when you want to edit titles precisely. However, the editing points may be slightly different from the point you selected when you dub the titles by Highspeed dubbing.
To open up disc space on the HDD or a DVD-RW (VR mode), you can erase any title. See Erasing and Editing a Title on page 83. For DVD-Rs and DVD+Rs, the available disc space does not increase even if you erase titles.
Erasing and Editing a Title

DV Camcorder Dubbing

z Hint If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the initial dub, use the DV IN jack and record on a DVD-RW/DVD-R (VR mode) or HDD.
Before DV Camcorder Dubbing
This section explains dubbing with a DV camcorder and playing the contents of a DV camcorder via the DV IN jack on the front panel. If you want to dub by way of the LINE IN jacks, see Recording from Connected Equipment on page 72. The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the i.LINK standard. Follow the instructions in Preparing for DV camcorder dubbing, and then move on to the section on dubbing. For more information about i.LINK, see About i.LINK on page 161.
You cannot make a recording while DV camcorder dubbing. The DV IN jack is for input only. It will not output signals. You cannot use the DV IN jack when: signal input to the DV IN jack on the front panel or recorder operation cannot be performed correctly when using a digital video camera (see About i.LINK on page 161). Connect the camera to the LINE IN jack and follow the instructions of Recording from Connected Equipment on page 72. the input signal is not in DVC-SD format. Do not connect a MICRO MV format digital video camera even if it has an i.LINK jack. the images on the tape contain copy protection signals, which limit recording. If you want to play DVDs dubbed from a DV camcorder on other DVD equipment, finalise the disc (page 46). Set the recorder and DV camcorder to the same colour system (page 125).

How chapters are created

The contents dubbed to the HDD or DVD become a single title. This title is divided into chapters. When dubbing to the HDD or a DVD-RW/DVD-R (VR mode) and when Auto Chapter (HDD/VR) is set to On in the Recording setup (page 136), each shooting session on the tape becomes a chapter on the disc. For other discs, the recorder divides the title into chapters according to the Auto Chapter (Video) or Auto Chapter (DVD+R/+RW) setting in the Recording setup (page 136).

Hookups

to DV IN
Preparing for DV camcorder dubbing
You can connect a DV camcorder to the DV IN jack on the recorder to record or edit from a DV/Digital8 format tape. Operation is straightforward because the recorder will fast forward and rewind the tape for you you do not need to operate your DV camcorder. Refer as well to the instruction manual supplied with the DV camcorder before connecting.
