Troubleshooting (Q&A)

Playback-related problems (audio)

Q1: No playback sound is heard from the camera recorder’s speaker.

A1: Has the camera recorder’s volume level been set too low?

In the VCR mode, press the AUDIO MON/VAR button “+” to increase the volume. (See page 14)

Q2: More than one recorded stream of sound is heard.

A2: Has MIX been selected as the setting for the 32K (12-bit) AUDIO item on the setting menu PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS screen? (See page 44)

If audio dubbing editing is performed on a tape recorded with 32K (12-bit) selected as the setting for the AUDIO REC item on the setting menu RECORDING SETUP screen, the sound heard during the recording and the sound recorded later will be heard together. It is also possible to listen to each stream of sound separately. (See page 44

Q3: When audio dubbing is performed, the original sound is erased.

A3: When audio dubbing is performed for a part which was shot with 48K (16-bit) selected as the setting for the AUDIO REC item on the setting menu RECORDING SETUP screen, the original sound will be erased. Use the 32K (12- bit) setting during shooting. (See page 44)

Other types of problems

Q1: The cassette tape cannot be ejected.

A1: Is power being supplied?

Has the AC adapter been plugged in or the battery inserted properly?

When the power is supplied, the cassette can be ejected without setting the POWER switch to ON.

Q2: Ejecting the cassette tape is the only operation which can be performed.

A2-1: Has any condensation formed?

If condensation forms, ejecting the cassette tape is the only operation which can be performed. Wait until the condensation dries up. (See page 64)

A2-2: When the cassette holder is closed immediately after opening (by sliding the EJECT switch), operations other than eject may not be possible.

If this does happen, slide the EJECT switch to open the cassette holder once again, then close the holder after ensuring that the cassette mechanism has completed the eject operation.

Q3: The remote control unit does not work.

A3-1: Has the battery in the remote control unit run down?

If the remote control unit fails to operate even when it is operated near the remote control sensor of the camera recorder, it means that the button battery has run down.

Replace it with a new one. (See page 19)

A3-2: Do the remote control settings match properly?

If the [REMOTE] settings of the remote control unit and camera recorder do not match, the remote control unit will not work even when it is operated. (See page 19)

Q4: A rattling sound is heard when the camera recorder is tilted toward the front or back.

A4: When the VCR mode is established or the power switch is at OFF, a rattling sound may be heard from the camera unit due to its structure. This is not indicative of malfunctioning.
