The DV terminal serves as output terminal only. Headphones cannot be used during analog-digital conversion. Turn off all devices before starting the connections. Depending on the signal sent from the connected device, the conversion from analog to digital signals might not work properly (e. g. , signals that include copyright protective signals or anomalous signals such as ghost signals).
