Additional Information
Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the recorder, use this troubleshooting guide to help remedy the problem before requesting repairs. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
Power
The power does not turn on.
, Check that the AC power cord is connected securely.
, Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format (480p) signals, the image may be affected when you set the recorder to progressive format. In this case, hold down x STOP, and press
CHANNEL – (minus) on the unit and the recorder is set to normal (interlace) format.
, When playing a double-layer DVD, the video and audio may be momentarily interrupted at the point where the layers switch.
There is no picture or the picture noise appears when connected to the DV IN jack.
, Try the following:
1
Turn the recorder off and on again.
2
Turn the connected equipment off and on again. 3Disconnect and then connect the i.LINK cable again.
Picture
There is no picture.
, Re-connect all connecting cords securely.
, The connecting cords are damaged.
, Check the connection to your TV (page 12).
, Switch the input selector on your TV (such as to “VCR”) so that the signal from the recorder appears on the TV screen.
, When playing a double-layer DVD, the video and audio may be momentarily interrupted at the point where the layers switch.
Picture noise appears.
, If the picture output signal from your recorder passes through your VCR to get to your TV, or if you are connected to a combination TV/VIDEO player, the copyprotection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. If you still experience this problem even when you connect your recorder directly to your TV, try connecting your recorder to your TV’s S
VIDEO input.
, You have set the recorder to progressive format even though your TV cannot accept the progressive signal. In this case, hold down x STOP, and press CHANNEL –
(minus) on the unit.
TV program reception does not fill the screen.
, Set the channel manually in “Tuner Preset”
in the “Basic” setup (page 71).
, Select the correct source using the INPUT
SELECT button, or select a channel of any
TV program using the CH +/– buttons.
TV program pictures are distorted.
, Reorient the TV antenna.
, Adjust the picture (see the TV’s instruction manual).
, Place the recorder and TV farther apart.
, Place the TV and any bunched antenna cables farther apart.
, The antenna cable is connected to the VHF/
UHF OUT jack on the recorder. Connect the cable to the VHF/UHF IN jack.
TV channels cannot be changed.
, The channel is disabled (page 71).
, A timer recording started, which changed the channels.

Notes About This
Recorder
On operation
• If the recorder is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the recorder. Should this occur, the recorder may not operate properly. In this case, if the recorder is on, leave it on (if it is off, leave it off) for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the recorder, take out any discs. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is played.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners
Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc or disc/lens cleaner (wet or spray type). These may cause the recorder to malfunction.
Notes about the discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface. Dust, fingerprints, or scratches on the disc may cause it to malfunction.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as the temperature may rise considerably inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
• Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not use the following discs.
– A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g., card, heart).
– A disc with a label or sticker on it.
– A disc that has cellophane tape or sticker adhesive on it.

About i.LINK
The DV IN jack on this recorder is i.LINKcompliant for digital video cameras. This section describes the i.LINK standard and its features.
What is i.LINK?
i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling digital video, digital audio and other data in two directions between equipment having the i.LINK jack, and for controlling other equipment.
i.LINK-compatible equipment can be connected by a single i.LINK cable. Possible applications are operations and data transactions with various digital AV equipment. When two or more i.LINKcompatible equipment are connected to this recorder in a daisy chain, operations and data transactions are possible with not only the equipment that this recorder is connected to but also with other devices via the directly connected equipment.
Note, however, that the method of operation sometimes varies according to the characteristics and specifications of the equipment to be connected, and that operations and data transactions are sometimes not possible on some connected equipment.
b
Note
Normally, only one piece of equipment can be connected to this recorder by the i.LINK cable (DV connecting cable). When connecting this recorder to i.LINK-compatible equipment having two or more i.LINK jacks (DV jacks), see the instruction manual of the equipment to be connected.
About the name “i.LINK”
i.LINK is a more familiar term for IEEE 1394 data transport bus proposed by SONY, and is a trademark approved by many corporations.
IEEE 1394 is an international standard standardized by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers.
i.LINK baud rate
i.LINK’s maximum baud rate varies according to the equipment. Three maximum baud rates are defined:
S100 (approx. 100 Mbps*)
S200 (approx. 200 Mbps)
S400 (approx. 400 Mbps)
The baud rate is listed under “Specifications” in the instruction manual of each equipment.
It is also indicated near the i.LINK jack on some equipment.
The maximum baud rate of equipment on which it is not indicated such as this unit is
“S100.”
When units are connected to equipment having a different maximum baud rate, the baud rate sometimes differs from the indicated baud rate.
* What is Mbps?
Mbps stands for megabits per second, or the amount of data that can be sent or received in one second. For example, a baud rate of 100 Mbps means that 100 megabits of data can be sent in one second.
i.LINK functions on this recorder
For details on how to dub when this recorder is connected to other video equipment having
DV jacks, see page 66.
The DV jack on this recorder can only input
DVC-SD signals. It cannot output signals.
The DV jack will not accept MICRO MV signals from equipment such as a MICRO
MV digital video camera with an i.LINK jack.
For further precautions, see the notes on
page 66.
For details on precautions when connecting this recorder, also see the instruction manuals for the equipment to be connected.
Required i.LINK cable
Use the Sony i.LINK 4-pin-to-4-pin cable
(during DV/Digital8 dubbing).
