When this camcorder is connected to other
digital video equipment using an i.LINK
cable, the recording format of edited tapes
is defined according to the source tape and
the recorder’s format as described below.
Playback or editing using the edited tape
may be limited depending on dubbing
operation. Start dubbing after reading

1)
When using mini DVCAM video equipment
to perform DV dubbing of a tape recorded in
DV format, the tape produced will be in the
DVCAM format which the time code format
will be partly misadjusted. (There will be no
effect on the recorded picture except in certain
cases.)
2)
If the tape that is to be dubbed is in the
DVCAM format as in 1), the tape produced will
be in the DVCAM format and the time code
format will be partly misadjusted.
3)
Some mini DV video equipment may be able
to play back a DVCAM-formatted tape. Even if
the tape is played back, quality of the playback
cannot be guaranteed. The time code format
will be partly misadjusted.
• If you use tapes as in 1) to 3) above for editing,
the functions may be limited regardless of the
format of players and recorders.

Limitations on editing
You may find the following limitations
when editing a tape produced by dubbing
or editing using the HDV/DV Interface
(i.LINK) jack:
• Due to the difference in track pitch, you cannot
record or edit on DV-formatted tapes using mini
DVCAM video equipment.
• Depending on the DVCAM video equipment
used, you may not be able to edit DVCAM
formatted tapes if the audio recording mode
is unlock mode. In this case, dub using audio/
video jacks.
