Using the DV Control
This feature enables the XL2 to control the record and stop function of a connected IEEE1394
storage/recording device. The device must comply with the IEEE1394 AV/C protocol.
Users of Windows XP can also download the DV-PC Recorder from the Canon Homepage to record
video/audio to the computer's hard disk. For details, refer to the DV-PC Recorder Software leaflet.
1. Open the menu and select [SYSTEM]. Select [DV CONTROL], set it to [ON] and close the
menu.
2. Press the start/stop button.

[DV CONTROL] is set to [ON], but no DV device is connected
❍ When the XL2 stops recording without operating the start/stop button (e.g. tape has reached the
end) while both the XL2 and the connected device are recording, the connected device continues
recording.
❍ When connecting two XL2s via a DV cable, make sure to set [DV CONTROL] of the connected
device to [OFF].
❍ Only one device can be connected to the XL2 for DV control.
❍ DV control may not work properly depending on the connected non-Canon device.
❍ The DV control setting is retained by the camcorder even if you turn the power off. Make sure to
check the setting after use of the DV control function, as the tape in the connected device may be
overwritten.
❍ Do not use a DV cable longer than 4.5 m.
