specifications of the connected device, and operations or
data exchange may not be possible even if the devices
are connected.
• If noise appears on the screen or the audio cuts out, re-
connect the IEEE1394 cable or turn the GY-HD250/GY-
HD251 on again.
• If you turn the power to the device connected to the
IEEE1394 connector on and off or switch the video input,
