The on-screen display can be viewed on a monitor
connected to the [VIDEO MONITOR OUT] connector.
Connecting video equipment
Connect the video device to the appropriate connector
(4 types are available).

Outputs

5Analog outputs
Composite signal : [LINE OUT] connector (BNC)
Component signal (Y/B-Y/R-Y) : [COMPONENT OUT]
connectors (BNC x 3)

5Digital output
Digital video signal (conforming to IEEE 1394)
[DV IN/OUT] connector

Inputs

Select input video signals with the front panel’s [VIDEO
INPUT] switch or the No. 108 <VIDEO INPUT SELECT>
menu switch.
5Analog inputs

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
(component, 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.

Connection with a monitor TV
The audio output from the [AUDIO MONITOR OUT] connector
is monaural.
Use the front panel [AUDIO MONITOR] switch or No. 211
<AUDIO MONITOR> menu switch to select the audio channels
you want to monitor. The selected audio channel is shown in
the table below. Adjust the audio volume level on the monitor.
See “Playback preparation” on page 28.
Headphones jack
Audio can be monitored in stereo using the headphones.
Use the front panel [AUDIO OUTPUT] switch to select the
audio channels you want to monitor. The selected audio
channel is shown in the table below. Adjust the audio volume
level with the front panel [PHONES] control.

Inputs

5Analog inputs
Audio connectors (CH1/3, CH2/4)
Analog input connectors are only provided for 2 channels. It is
not possible to record 4 channels simultaneously. Audio input
from each connector is normally recorded on the CH1 and CH2
channels. Recording on the CH3 and CH4 can be performed
in the Audio Dubbing mode with the No. 245 <SAMPLING
RATE> menu switch set to “32K”.
For audio dubbing, refer to “Audio dubbing” on page 27.
5Digital inputs
Digital signals conforming to IEEE 1394 can be input to the
[DV IN/OUT] connector. In this case, the audio recording level
cannot be adjusted. When audio signals are input to the [DV
IN/OUT] connector, some noise will occur at the point where
recording ends. To reduce this noise during playback, set the
No. 214 <V. FADE> menu switch to “ON”.
5Mic input jack
Connect a monaural microphone. The same audio is recorded
on both channels.

Outputs

5Analog outputs
Audio connectors (CH1/3, CH2/4)
Analog output connectors are provided for 2 channels. For
MiniDV format, use the front panel [AUDIO OUTPUT] switch to
select for 4-channel audio. The selected audio channel is
shown in the table below.
See “Playback preparation” on page 28.
5Digital outputs
Digital signals conforming to IEEE 1394 are output from the
[DV IN/OUT] connector.
Relationship between [AUDIO OUTPUT] / [AUDIO MONITOR]
switch and audio output channel
(During playback with 32 kHz sampling, audio dubbing, and
DV input with the 32 kHz sampling in the EE mode)
Regardless of setting of this switch, CH1/2 is selected for
ordinary recording, record pause and analog audio input in the
EE mode. CH3/4 is selected for audio dubbing in the Pause
mode.
With the No. 054 <SLIDE SW FUNCTION> menu switch set to
“AUDIO”.
