Material from a camcorder can be recorded with this
Recorder using an analogue connection. You can capture
video by connecting a camcorder, VCR, or external receiver
to the LINE IN 1, 2 or 3 jacks of this Recorder*. (Connection
using the DV terminal of the Recorder is recommended
when connecting the Recorder to the digital camcorder
equipped with the DV terminal.)
* DV-HR480H only

• More vivid images can be viewed by connecting the S-

VIDEO input jack on this Recorder with the S-video output
jack on the camcorder using an S-video cable.

• Some camcorders may require a special cable for

connection.

• Refer to the operation manual provided with the

camcorder for further information on the procedure for
connecting the camcorder.

• Material protected with a copy guard cannot be re-

corded. It may be impossible to get the correct video,
even if you just view without recording.

• Date and time as well as the contents of cassette memory

cannot be recorded with this Recorder.

• If you input video from an external device to this Re-

corder, there will be a slight difference in image quality
between the video viewed from the external device
directly on the TV, and video viewed as external input to
the Recorder.

• If you set by selecting one of the 32 picture quality levels for “MN”, recording will be

done at that picture quality when “MN” is selected using REC MODE on the remote
control. For details, see page 43.

• LINEAR PCM: If you record by setting the recording mode to “XP” or “MN32”, you can

record audio as PCM (uncompressed) audio which can be played back with 2ch audio
equipment.
 * This will not work when recording with the recording mode set to anything other than

“XP” or “MN32”.

 * Recording is done with a recording mode whose image quality is slightly lower than

XP mode recorded with the “Dolby Digital 2ch” setting.

 * When making a PCM recording of bilingual sound, only the audio selected in

“BILINGUAL SETTING” is recorded.

 • Dolby Digital 2ch: Records audio as Dolby Digital 2ch audio.

®

 Digital Stereo Creator enables consumers to create stereo  DVD-Videos with

stunning Dolby Digital sound tracks at home. The technology, when utilised instead
of PCM recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for higher video
resolution or extended recording time on each DVD, DVDs mastered using Dolby
Digital Stereo Creator will play back on all DVD-Video players.

 • This selects audio to be input from an external device.

 * Ensure you always select “BILINGUAL” when recording bilingual sound. If you select

“STEREO” when recording bilingual sound, the audio for both the left channel (“L
CH”) and right channel (“R CH”) will be played back.

 * When recording bilingual sound, you can switch between the left channel (“L CH”)

and right channel (“R CH”) during playback in VR mode. In Video mode, only the
audio set in “BILINGUAL SETTING” is recorded.

• This selects whether to record the left channel (“L CH”) or right channel (“R CH”) when

recording (or dubbing) bilingual sound to DVD-RW/R in Video mode or when recording
to HDD with “HI SP DUB SETTING” set as “YES”.
 * This does not apply when recording from the DV IN terminal. (DV IN terminal is for

DV-HR480H only)

• This sets the interval of automatic chapter setting during recording.
• Chapter markers set on a DVD-RW/R in Video mode cannot be combined by editing,

so select an appropriate interval.

• To perform high speed dubbing from the HDD to a DVD in Video mode, set this to

“YES” before recording to the HDD.

• If you wish to edit in frame units, set this to “NO”. For details of “HI SP DUB SETTING”,

refer to page 59.

• This function is for diverting the recording destination from DVD-RW/R to HDD when a

recording set to DVD-RW/R cannot work due to the disc situation. This function works
in the following cases.
* 1 When there is not enough disc capacity left in DVD.

2 When an unrecordable disc is loaded.
3 When you forget to load a disc.
4 When a disc is playing within 2 minutes prior to the start of timer recording.

* In case 1, when the remaining capacity of HDD is less than that of DVD, the

recording will continue on to DVD.

• This sets the Recorder so it automatically initialises any unused DVD-RW discs which

are loaded into the Recorder.
You can initialise in either VR mode or Video mode.

• This function works with timer recording (GUIDE Plus+/Timer Programme) onto DVD-

RW/R. If disc capacity runs low, and the programme cannot be recorded to the end,
this function will automatically change the recording mode so the programme will fit
into the disc.
(The recording mode will only be degraded so that the recordable time will extend.)

• If there is very little disc capacity left on the disc, the programme may not fit even if

Exact Recording is set.

• When recording in EP or MN1 mode, there is no lower recording mode, so Exact

Recording will not work.
