Otherwise, the device may not be recognized when recording isundertaken again.• While signals from an external device are being recorded, do not change the format of the signals whichare being output from the external device. Otherwise, it will not be possible for the signals to be recordedproperly.• Once the 1394 cable has been connected to the 1394 connector, do not subject the connector to heavyexternal loads.
