3-1 Video system connections

3 CONNECTIONS

Connecting a monitor

The on-screen display can be viewed on a monitor con-

nected to the [VIDEO MONITOR OUT] connector.

Connecting video equipment

Connect the video device to the appropriate connector (4

types are available).

Outputs

Analog outputs

Composite signal : [LINE OUT] connector (BNC)

Component signal (Y/B-Y/R-Y) : [COMPONENT OUT]

connectors (BNC x 3)

YC signal : [Y/C OUT] connector (4-pin)

Digital output

Digital video signal (conforming to IEEE 1394)

[DV IN/OUT] connector

Inputs

Select input video signals with the No. 108 <VIDEO INPUT

SELECT> menu switch.

Analog inputs

Composite signal : [LINE IN] connector (BNC)

Component signal (Y/B-Y/R-Y) : [COMPONENT IN]

connector (BNC x 3)

YC signal : [Y/C IN] connector (4-pin)

Digital input

Digital video signal (conforming to IEEE 1394) :

[DV IN/OUT] connector

Reference sync signal

This unit automatically selects the sync signal as shown in

the table below, depending on the presence of external sync

input (SYNC IN) and video input (VIDEO IN), the No. 003

<SYNC SELECT> menu switch setting and operation mode.

When IEEE 1394 input is selected, “INT” is selected

regardless of the setting. When the No. 108 <VIDEO

INPUT SELECT> menu switch is set to “COMPONENT”,

the operation is the same as that performed with the No.

003 <SYNC SELECT> menu switch set to “AUTO”

regardless of the setting.

Note:

•When search pictures or low-quality video signals

are input, temporary distortion of picture or sound

may occur. Clean up the signals with a TBC or

other processing device before inputting.

•The phase of the output signal cannot be adjusted

for external sync signals. The sub carrier cannot be

locked.

•Plugging and unplugging the external sync or video

signal connector during operation causes distortion

in the picture and sound for about 10 seconds.

•When signals input from the composite connector

are output from the component connector, color may

disappear in some parts of the left section of the

monitor screen. This is not a malfunction.

•The set up is not applied to signals input to the [DV

IN/OUT] connector and output in EE mode (compo-

nent, Y/C, composite). Input signals are recorded

as is.

•Use a video signal of less than 1 V(p-p) such as a

black burst signal for external sync signal.

•When video signals are input to the DV IN/OUT

connector, distortion may occur in the lower section

of the picture in the EE mode. However, recording

is performed normally.

•When the No. 003 <SYNC SELECT> menu switch is

set to “EXTERNAL” and no signal is input to the

[SYNC IN] connector, noise may appear in the

playback picture. This is not a malfunction.

Notes:

2 CONTROLS, CONNECTORS AND DISPLAYS

Counter display section

Three types of indications can be displayed in the

counter display section.

(1)Tape counter

Normally, the indication selected with the [COUN-

TER] switch is shown. When the No. 516 <DISPLAY

SELECT> menu switch is set to “CLOCK”, the time

and date are shown.



See “Built-in clock setting” on page 22.

(2) Menu switch

In the menu switch setting mode, menu switch items

are shown one at a time.

(3)Warning code

When this unit malfunctions, the nature of the

problem is indicated by an error code.



See “Warning indicators” on page 40.

• In the Operate Off mode, “oPE-oFF” is shown.

Tape running indication

Shows the tape running conditions.

Battery indicator

When this unit is powered by a battery and the battery

voltage level drops below the specified value, this

indicator blinks (“off” in normal operation), to show that

battery voltage is insufficient. This indicator will also

blink when the Operate Off mode is engaged (since

voltage output from the battery drops in this mode).

Cassette mark

This mark lights to show that a cassette is loaded.

This mark is shown even in the Operate Off mode.

Indicators

AUTO OFF: Lights when a problem occurs in this

unit.

DEW: Lights when a condensation occurs.

RF: Lights when the heads are clogged and

the signal level drops.

SERVO: Lights when the unit’s servo system

has stabilized.

AUD LOCK: Lights when the video and audio

sampling clocks (at 48 kHz) are

synchronized in the Play mode. Lights

in the Recording mode and EE mode.

Does not light when the sampling rate

is 32 kHz or 44.1 kHz.

MENU: Lights in the menu switch setting mode.

32K/44.1K/48K:Shows the frequency of the digital

audio signal sampling rate. In the

Record and EE modes, the frequency

set with No. 245 <SAMPLING RATE>

menu switch is shown. In the Play

mode, the playback audio signal mode

is shown. The 44.1K indication is

shown only in the Play mode.

PB: Lights when playback signals are

output.

NDF: Lights when the non-drop mode is set

for time code. (U MODEL)

DF: Lights when the drop mode is set for

time code. (U MODEL)

HOLD: Lights in the time code or user bits

setting mode and in the date and time

setting mode.

SP/LP: Shows the recording or playback

speed. Please note that LP mode

recording and playback is not possible

with this unit. If you try to play back a

tape recorded in the LP mode, the “LP

inh” indication is shown and the VCR

enters the Stop mode.

Audio channel indication

Shows the audio channel of the signal output from the

rear panel’s [AUDIO OUT] connectors.

Indication and output signals can be switched with the

front panel’s [AUDIO OUTPUT] switch only when 32 kHz

sampling rate signals are played back.

In other modes, the indication and output signals are

fixed as shown in the table below.
