•
Before proceeding to connect or disconnect 1394 cable, be absolutely sure to turn off the power of the units.
• Before proceeding to connect the unit which uses a 6-pin type 1394 connector,
carefully check the shape of the 1394 cable and the connectors on the 1394
cable. Connecting a connector upside down may damage the parts inside the
unit and cause malfunctioning. Furthermore, connect the 1394 cable to the unit
which uses a 6-pin type 1394 connector first. (
