When [VCR HDV/DV] is set to [AUTO] and the signal switches between HDV and DVCAM (DV), the
picture and sound disappear temporarily.
When the recorder is an HVR-A1U/A1N, set [VCR HDV/DV] also on the recording device to [AUTO]
(p. 57).
If the player and the recorder are both HVR-A1U/A1N or HDV1080i compatible device and connected
with the i.LINK cable (optional), pictures are not continued smoothly after recording pause or stop.
See page 105 for the DVCAM (DV) format.
When connecting with the A/V connecting cable with S VIDEO (supplied)
Connect with the S plug instead of the video plug (yellow). This connection produces
pictures more faithfully and higher quality DVCAM (DV) format pictures. The audio will not
be output when you connect with the S video plug alone.
