Overview
Features of This Unit
The DSR-DU1 Video Disk Unit incorporates a 2.5-inch, 40 gigabyte hard disk.
Connected to a Sony digital camcorder through the i.LINK interface, it is capable of recording at least three hours of video and audio signals in DVCAM format or DV format.
Integral camcorder mounting with dedicated adaptor
The optional CA-DU1 Camera Adaptor enables this unit to be attached to a digital camcorder (DSR-370/370P/ 570WS/570WSP or DSR-250/250P/300A/300AP/ 500WS/500WSP) equipped with an i.LINK interface. Using the CA-DU1 makes attachment to the camcorder safe and simple.
Increased recording times for compact camcorders
If your camcorder is a DSR-PD100A/PD100AP/PD150/ PD150P (equipped with i.LINK interface), connect this unit directly to the comcorder using an i.LINK cable in place of the adaptor. This provides a recording time of at least three hours, equivalent to the recording time of a standard size DVCAM tape.
Recording can continue on the DSR-DU1 while changing the tape.
Use as an independent source feeder
Connected to a nonlinear editing system, the DSR-DU1 can be used as an independent source feeder. Further, using the same principle as in dubbing with a conventional VCR, video and audio signals can be provided to another device equipped with the i.LINK interface. The AV/C protocol can be used in this case.
Transfer of single files to an editor
Data recorded on the DSR-DU1 can be transferred as a file to a computer hard disk or similar, allowing efficient inclusion of material into a nonlinear editing system.
The SBP2 protocol can be used for file transfer.
Convenient recording functions
•When DUPLICATE mode is set, you can record the same content on the DSR-DU1 and the connected camcorder.
•To avoid losing important scenes, the cache recording function keeps up to eight seconds of video in memory.
•For monitoring purposes, the interval recording function provides long-term recording.
Supported Camcorders
The DSR-DU1 can be used connected to any of the following camcorders.
•DSR-370/370P
•DSR-570WS/570WSP
•DSR-300A/300AP
•DSR-500WS/500WSP
•DSR-250/250P
•DSR-PD100A/PD100AP
•DSR-PD150/PD150P
•DCR-VX2000/VX2000E
Differences in supported units
The functions offered by the DSR-DU1 are restricted in some cases, depending on the connected camcorder. Details of differences in restrictions and characteristics are also described where necessary in the section “Operation” (page 16).

4 Overview
b)After a few minutes elapse without recording on the tape, the camcorder powers off. With the DSR-370/370P/570WS/570WSP, it is necessary to set the VTR TRIGGER switch to the “EXT ONLY” position.
c)For camcorders other than the DSR-370/370P/570/570WSP, it is necessary to switch from camera mode to VTR mode.

Overview 5
Getting the Best Performance from the DSR-DU1
Places to Avoid
Do not leave the unit in the following places, whether operating or stored. Doing so could lead to a malfunction.
•Places subject to very high temperatures. The inside of a car with the windows closed in hot sun can reach an extremely high temperature, and if the unit is left there it may be deformed or malfunction.
•Places exposed to direct sunlight or close to heating equipment. The unit may be deformed or malfunction.
•Places subject to extreme vibration
•Places subject to strong magnetic fields
•Sand dunes, sandy beaches, and other places subject to blown sand. At the seashore and in other sandy locations where there may be blown sand, ensure that the sand does not reach the unit. This could cause not only a malfunction, but in some cases render the unit unrepairable.
Operation
•Do not operate where the unit would be exposed to a powerful electromagnetic radiation. Recording and playback may not function correctly.
•Do not operate close to a television or radio receiver. There may be interference from the television or radio receiver.
•Do not connect the AC adaptor/charger or charger to an electronic voltage-changer. This may cause heat to be generated, or lead to malfunction.
Care of the Unit
If the unit is dirty, clean it by wiping with a soft cloth.
•If very dirty, use a cloth steeped in diluted mild detergent and wrung out well to wipe the unit clean, then finish off with a dry cloth.
•Do not use alcohol, thinners, or other organic solvents. These can cause the material of the unit to deteriorate, or remove the finish.
•If using a chemically impregnated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.
•Avoid getting volatile liquids such as insecticides on the unit, or leaving it in contact with rubber or plastic products for a long time, as this can cause the material of the unit to deteriorate, or remove the finish.
