NOTES:
It is recommended to use the AC Power Adapter/Charger as
the power supply instead of the battery pack (
pg. 7).
If the remote control is used when both the player and
recorder are THOMSON video units, both units will
perform the same operation. To prevent this from happen-
ing, press the buttons on both units.
For Digital Dubbing, this camcorder can be connected only
to one device at a time.
If a blank portion or disturbed image is played back on the
player during dubbing, the dubbing may stop so that an
unusual image is not dubbed.
Even though the DV cable is connected correctly, some-
times the image may not appear in step 4. If this occurs, turn
off the power and make connections again.
If Playback Zoom (
pg. 50), Playback Special Effects
(
pg. 51) or Snapshot is attempted during playback,
only the original playback image recorded on the tape is
output from the DV OUT connector.
* When connecting the cable, open this cover.
