When the equipment for non-linear editing is connected to
this unit, do not start any other application program than
software for the non-linear edit. Non-linear editing
equipment may garble the output video picture.
Be absolutely sure not to defeat the following
safeguards when connecting the IEEE1394
cable.
(1) Ensure that the unit and all devices to be
connected are grounded (or connected to a
common ground).
If the equipment cannot be grounded, first turn off
the power of all the connected devices, and then
disconnect and re-connect the IEEE1394 cable.
(2) When connecting the unit to a device equipped
with a 4-pin connector, connect the unit?s
connector (6-pin type) first.
(3) When making a connection to a PC equipped
with a 6-pin connector, connect the 1394 cable
so that it mates properly with the 1394
connector. Bear in mind that if the plug is
inserted the wrong way round, the unit may be
damaged as a result.
