MMONITOR SELECT (L andR) buttons

These buttons are used to select the audio signals which are to be output to the MONITOR L and R connectors.

Each time the L button is pressed, the signal to be output to the MONITOR L connector is changed in the following sequence: CH1 5 CH2 5 CH3 5 CH4 5 CUE.

Similarly, each time the R button is pressed, the signal to be output to the MONITOR R connector is changed in the following sequence: CH1 5 CH2 5 CH3 5 CH4 5 CUE.

Which signal has now been selected is displayed by the lighting of the L or R lamps on the level meter display.

When AUTO has been selected as the setup menu No. 721 (MONI CH SEL) setting, the display is switched in tandem with the monitor output. The channel to which monitor output is to be switched automatically can be selected using setup menu No. 735 (MON AUTO SEL).

NMONITOR MIX button

This button is used to select the mixed signals which are to be output to the MONITOR L and R connectors.

Each time the MONITOR SELECT L button is pressed while this button is held down, the signals to be output to the MONITOR L connector change in the following sequence: CH1 + CH2 5 CH3 + CH4 5 CH1 + CH3 5 CH2 + CH4 5 mixing release.

The mixed signals to be output to the MONITOR R connector are changed in the same way by the MONITOR SELECT R button.

OHeadphone jack and headphone volume control When stereo headphones are connected to the headphone jack, the sound during recording, playback or editing can be monitored using the headphones.

PAudio level control lamps (REC LEVEL, PB LEVEL)

When the audio level control knobs Q have been set to adjust the recording level, the REC LEVEL lamp lights.

When they have been set to adjust the playback level, the PB LEVEL lamp lights.

QAudio level control knobs

These knobs are used to adjust the recording and playback level of the PCM audio signals (CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4).

Whether the recording level or the playback level is to be adjusted is selected using setup menu No. 738 (AUDIO VR SEL).

UNITY:

At this position, the audio signals are recorded or played back at a fixed level regardless of the positions of the audio level control knobs Q.

VAR:

At this position, the audio signals are recorded or played back at the level adjusted by the audio level control knobs Q.

STC PRESET button

This button is used to set the TC or UB value. When the TC or UB value is to be set, this button is pressed first to stop the data from advancing. The set of digits whose display is flashing is then changed.

TMENU button

When this button is pressed, the setup menus are displayed on the TV monitor (but only when the VIDEO OUT 3 connector or SDI OUT 3 connector is used), and the setup menu numbers appear on the VTR’s display panel.

When it is pressed again, the setup menu settings are exited, and the original status is restored.

USET button

When this button is pressed, the data which has been set using the setup menus is entered.

After the data has been entered, the setup menu settings are exited, and the original status is restored.

When the internal time code has been set, the data which has been set is entered.
