When connecting the GY-DV550 to other component with DV connector, be sure to observe the following procedure.
When using the GY-DV550 as playback component
1.
Turn ON both units.
2.
Confirm that the VCR Setup Menu item No.126 INPUT
SELECT is set to CAMERA(cA).
* If set to IEEE1394, set it to CAMERA and then turn
ON the power again.
3.
Insert the videocassette.
4.
Connect the DV cable.
* Always connect the DV cable last.
When using the GY-DV550 as recording component
1.
Turn ON both units.
2.
Set VCR Setup menu No. 257 AUDIO REF. SIGNAL LEV.
For proper E-E audio output, set the VCR Setup Menu No.
257 to the audio reference level of the tape on the player (-
12 dB or -20 dB).
3.
Set the VCR Setup Menu item No.126 INPUT SELECT to
IEEE1394(iE).
4.
Insert the videocassette.
5.
Connect the DV cable.
* Always connect the DV cable last.
When recording while controlling the GY-DV550
through the DV connector from another component
with DV connector, set the VCR Setup Menu item
No.050 REMOTE SELECT to IEEE1394.
In this case, it takes approximately 2 to 3 seconds
before recording starts on the GY-DV550.
The audio recording level to the tape constitutes an
input signal reference level regardless of setting the
VCR Setup Menu No. 257 AUDIO REF. SIGNAL LEV.
When the GY-DV550 is controlled through the DV
connector, set the VCR Setup Menu item No.050
REMOTE SELECT to IEEE1394.
However, the following functions may not work
depending on the component that the GY-DV550 is
connected to.
REC
FF (FWD search is possible)
REW (REV search is possible)
When the DV cable is connected for communication
with another component, to stabilize the IEEE1394
output signal, the STILL mode is activated for a few
seconds and the LED of the STILL button on the top
section of the GY-DV550 lights when the mode is
switched to PLAY or x1 FWD search.
The x1 FWD search only works during IEEE1394
control or RS-232C control.
The operation method differs with the characteristics
and specifications of the connected equipment. Even
if connection is possible, operation or data
communication may sometimes be impossible to
perform.
Memo:
If the above procedure is not performed correctly, the playback picture may be disturbed or the sound may fall out. If this
happens, redo the connection by performing steps
1.
to
4.
described above.
Note:
Memo:
When VCR Setup menu No. 126 INPUT SELECT is set
to IEEE1394, No. 257 AUDIO REF. SIGNAL LEV setting
cannot be changed.
Memo:
When the GY-DV550 is used as camera, and a backup
recording is made on another component via the DV
connector, set the VCR Setup Menu item No.126 INPUT
SELECT to CAMERA.

The LOG indicator lights while S.S.F. data are being
written to the tape.
When writing to the tape is completed, the LOG indicator
goes out.
Operation
S.S.F. data stored in the unit
ís memor
y can be written to the
beginning of tape.
About the Scene End Cue Up Function
When the CONTINUE button is pressed while the LOG
button is kept pressed in the stop mode, the tape winds
to the S.S.F. datas last OUT point, after which the unit
enters the record-pause mode. (Scene End Cue Up)
The FF buttons LED blinks during the Scene End Cue
Up mode.
Precautions when writing S.S.F. data
When S.S.F. data stored in the memory of the GY-DV550
is written to the beginning of the rewound tape,
approximately 5 seconds of recorded video and/or sound
will be erased at the beginning.
In the case of important recordings, leave 5 seconds or
more of the tape unrecorded before starting recording.
Writing of S.S.F. data should be done with the DC cable
disconnected.
Once a tape with recorded S.S.F. data is ejected and then
reinserted again, the previous data will be erased if new
S.S.F. data are recorded on the tape.
Note:
The S.S.F. data in the memory of the main unit or that recorded
at the beginning of the tape can be output via the REMOTE
connector using the RS-232C controller.
For how to make connections for this, refer to Connecting a
PC on page 71.
In the stopped condition, the GY-DV550 answers with the S.S.F.
data when it receives the RS-232C command D5h S.S.F. DATA
SENSE from the PC.

END
When recording in the S.S.F. mode is completed, and the
cassette tape has not been taken out, the S.S.F. data stored
in the memory of the GY-DV550 are output when the RS-
232C command D5h is received.
If the tape recorded in S.S.F. mode is ejected and then loaded
again, the GY-DV550 rewinds the tape to the beginning and
plays back for about 10 seconds when it receives the RS-
232C command D5h.
During the playback, the model lD data and reel number
recorded on the tape are read. If corresponding S.S.F. data
are found in the memory, these data are output.
If corresponding S.S.F. data are not found in the memory, the
tape is rewound to the beginning once more, and after about
20 seconds of slow playback the stop mode is entered.
During slow playback, if S.S.F. data are written at the
beginning of the tape, these data are read out, and after the
stop mode is entered the S.S.F. data are output.
If S.S.F. data does not exist, the 05h (NOT TARGET)
command is output.
