  Stand
alone remote control will add RECORD button to digital cam in
VTR mode
EU models of D8 and DV camcorders don't have DV-IN & ANALOG-IN enabled. This can be done using service tools : RM95, PC95 software, Lremote software, or doit your self with one of free DV-IN tools. After dangerous job is done your D8 camcorder won't support only DV IN on FireWire (IEEE-1394), but ANALOG IN (on normal analog output conn.) too. Ideal for recording analog ATV transmissions, video tests, etc, all in digital mode. But there is no RECORD button in VTR mode on your EU camcorder. At home you can use PC with software for controling. But what can we do on remote locations? Driving PC with camcorder ? No, for shure not. The tiny microprocessor remote controller LANC1 will do the job well. With two pushbuttons you can start VTR Recording, and Pause Recording. The same time VTR buttons on camera working too (Stop, Pause, Rewind, Play, ..). Remote controller is compatible with all models of SONY D8 & SE D8 camcorders, most of SONY DV (and miniDV) & Hi8/Video8 camcorders. NOTE: camcorder must be DV-IN / ANA-IN enabled
before LANC-1 remote can be used.
How to enable LANC-1 for CAM
mode LANC-1 as delivered is ready for use in VTR mode. CAM (camera) and VTR (videorecorder) modes uses different record comand sequences. If you like to use device in CAM (camera) mode, two step modification is needed. Carefuly open remote (screw on backside). Step 1: cut (break) PCB line marked with RED on picture. Cut should be at least 1mm wide. Step 2: use wirewraping or similar tiny (isolated) wire and conect REC pushbutton with corner pin (pin10) of LANC-1 CPU, using soldering tool. That's all. Software support for CAM REC mode is already built in any LANC-1 remote. Do not try to solder wire without going thru 1.step (cuting PCB line).
That way CPU will be destroyed.
