Note: first must be enabled writing to memory: Page: 0 Address: 1 Data: set from 0 to 1 and STORE, after changes set it back ( to P:0 A:1 D:0 ) , but STORE hasn't to be.

NEW: Emergency button on DVin_lite v1.7 and new changes in CHECKSUM . See below.

Here is some useful codes for better work with Sony D8 camcorders. All using codes is on your own risk. . Now I have some codes for new D8 (TRV120,125, 8000 ...) HERE.

27

When L1 = 0, only Analog inputs work ( it is usefull to convert Analog to DV in time. Don't forget - use true cable SCART->CINCH and no SCART<-CINCH boundled with camcorder !)

AUTO TV ON/OFF + TV INPUT

20

set H1 to 1

- useful only for control of SONY TV with LaserLink.

PB ZOOM ( Playback ZOOM )

Memory of camcorder has checksum. Checksum is checked always, when was unpluged power sources. When is found bad checksum, camcorder is blocked ( not damaged, is possible repair it )

- must be set old data. But camcorder turn off after cca 5-10s and LANC not works. Next sentence aren't validate yet: "You must continualy OPEN/CLOSE door of cassete and in this time works with memory".

I have new function on my DVin_lite ! It is "Emergency" button. When is your camcorder blocked, you can easy switch camcorder to emergency mode and then you can easy repaired data.. How ? You connect the blocked camcorder (AC/DC and main batery are removed, camcorder is turn off ) to PC and run DVin_lite v. 1.7. When you get message: "Check cable ...", press "YES". Insert power source (main batery or AC/DC) and then press "Emergency" button and wait cca 20s to next message and your camcorder is working.

New metod for checksum:
1) enable changes in memory: 00:01:00 to 00:01:01 (Store)
2) change data on page D, how You need (all with STORE).
3) read new value "xx" from 02:F0
4) enable update and visibility of checksum on (0F:FF) :
00:FF:00 -> 00:FF:02 (STORE)
00:01:01 -> 00:01:80 (STORE)
5) update new checksum:
write to address 0F:FF data "xx" ( from 02:F0 ) (STORE)
6) disable changes:
00:FF:02 -> 00:FF:00 (STORE)
00:01:80 -> 00:01:00 (STORE)

Download of lite program for change memory: DVin_Lite . Adapter is same as for ANIN.

- For memory dump you can use rm95 freeware in DOS prompt or DOS: RM95DUMP.EXE > memory.txt .

Is misstake to use address 15 for compensation of checksum when are inputs enabled on E models. NTSC models have on this address still 18 and have enabled inputs too !
