1.0 Foreword

The PRV-LX1 can be controlled externally using IEEE-1394 commands. Control is applied through the
4-pin connection located on the rear of the recorder. Set the IEEE-1394 REMOTE controls through the
main menu. With a monitor connected to the PRV-LX1, press the Function button on the PRV-LX1’s
front panel to access the menu. Control Settings are accessed through the Setup/Operation menu.

Note: This document is valid for PRV-LX1 System Version 3.01/1.04 or later.

Note: The recorder’s DV Recording must be set for Remote (under Status > Control Settings > Control) to

have the unit recognize IEEE-1394 external control options (see image below).
