The Sat Mouse is a special accessory that lets a DVD
Recorder control external satellite receivers. It sends
infra-red remote control commands in order to switch
the satellite receiver on and select the correct channel.

changes) in the DV original to ensure the chapters in the
DVD copy are lined up exactly.

Also known as IEEE 1394 and FireWire. i.LINK is the
worldwide standard for connecting digital video devices,
used on digital home video equipment such as DV and
D8 camcorders, as well as PCs. Conveniently, it carries
all audio and video signals via a single cable.With i.LINK
Digital Video input you can copy your home videos in
their original digital picture quality.

equally important is that DVD+R and DVD+RW discs
recorded on them can be played on existing DVD-Video
players.
