Ha, yeah, it’s confussing. The switch that says “Passive” and two other settings and the litle turning knob to the left of it have to be set a certain way. Through trial and error I found the correct setting for capturing AND a different setting for editing/print-to-tape.

I made a sticker that tells me what to set it at and stuck it on my deck. Because of that I always just read it and can’t remember what the settings are! If no one else knows I will respond to this tonight when I get home, although it will be late.

So either wait until tomorrow morning to get my reply or you can start experimenting. I figured it out eventually but that’s the only way I figured it out. I could never find any documentation that spelled it out clearly.

Thanks, I will be glad to get the setting. I will check posts in the morning. Thanks again!

Ok, here’s what works for me:

EDITING/PLAYBACK = Dial on DV, Switch on RECORD
LOGGING/CAPTURE = Dial on DV, Switch on PASSIVE

I hope that works for you too! I know that mine had its firewire board replaced before I got it, so hopefully that doesn’t affect this. Good luck.
