DV cable and restore the connection after a 
short while or turn the camcorder off and then 
on again.
- Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all 
digital devices equipped with a DV terminal. If 
the operation does not work, use the AV IN/
OUT terminal.

connected device, the conversion from analog 
to digital signals might not work properly (e.g., 
signals that include copyright protective signals 
or anomalous signals such as ghost signals).
   Usually, leave [AV DV] set to the default 
setting [  OFF]. While it is set to [  ON] 
you cannot connect video input signals to the 
camcorder using the HDV/DV terminal.

Transferring Video Recordings
You can transfer recordings to a computer 
using the HDV/DV terminal.
Equipment and System Requirements 
   A computer equipped with an 
IEEE1394 (DV) terminal or an IEEE1394 
(DV) capturing board.
   A DV cable (commercially available).
   Video Editing Software.
   The appropriate driver
The standard of the video transferred 
depends on the standard of the original 
recording and the compatibility of the 
video editing software.
When transferring a video originally 
recorded in HDV standard, if the editing 
software supports high definition video, 
the video transferred will be in HDV 
standard too. If the editing software does 
not support high definition video, even if 
the original recording was made in HDV 
standard, the video transferred will be in 
DV standard.
POINTS TO CHECK
Change the following settings as necessary 
before making the connections. Refer to the 
corresponding explanation of each setting in the 
 PLAY/OUT SETUP  menu option list 
( 34).
- [PLAYBACK STD] and [DV OUTPUT] to 
select the standard of the output video. Note 
that the video standard of the transferred video 
depends also on the standards supported by 
the editing software.
- [AV DV] to select whether to transfer 
recordings from the tape in the camcorder (set 
to [ OFF]) or video converted from an 
external analog source (set to [ ON]).
Connecting
1Start the computer.
2Set the camcorder to   
mode.
3Connect the camcorder to the 
computer using the digital

“ HDV/DV” will be displayed. When 
the video output starts the display will 
change to “ HDV-OUT” or “ DV-
OUT” depending on the original 
recording and the settings selected.
4Start the video editing software. Refer to the instruction manual of the 
editing software. 
IMPORTANT
   The video transfer may not work correctly 
depending on the software and the 
specifications/settings of your computer.
   If the computer freeze s while the camcorder 
is connected to it, disc onnect the DV cable and 
turn off the camcorder and the computer. After a
