a[IEEE1394] IEEE1394 terminal (6P)

This is the input/output terminal for IEEE1394-
compliant digital signals.
Inputs HDV signals or DV signals when
recording. Digital audio is input simulta-
neously.
During playback, it outputs HDV signals, DV
signals, and digital audio on the playback tape.
Upon analog signal input, EE images and EE
audio are output. EE images are DV format
signals (480i or 576i) (Only when IEEE1394
switch is set to DV).
• T his unit records and plays 720p format
HDV signals.
720p HDV signals and DV signals from this
terminal are recorded as is, without format
conversion.
To enable signal input via this terminal, set
the INPUT SELECT switch located on the
front panel to “HDV/DV”.
The IEEE1394 switch located on the front
panel must be set to “HDV” or “DV”, accord-
ing to the input signal to this terminal or the
video format of the playback tape.
The audio mode (48 kHz or 32 kHz) cannot
be changed for the input audio signal via
this terminal. It will be recorded using the
input signal audio mode. 4-channel record-
ing is possible in the 32 kHz audio mode.
Power cannot be supplied via this terminal.
To record a time code via this terminal, set
TC DUPLI.: DV in the TC/UB/CLOCK [1/2]
Menu screen to AUTO or NONDROP. (In
DV mode only)
• To control this unit via this terminal, set
REM SEL HDV/DV in the REMOTE [1/2]
Menu screen to ON or LOC/REM.
Note
If HDV/DV signals are not input/output when the
IEEE1394 cable is connected, check whether the
signal format matches the IEEE1394 switch set-
ting on the front panel. If the settings match,
either reconnect the IEEE1394 cable, or reset the
power to the unit.

bDC power input terminal

This terminal is for inputting DC 12 V. Connect
the DC power cord of the supplied AC adapter.
Memo
zWhen power is supplied to this terminal, the
OPERATE indicator located on the front panel
lights up. (The indicator turns red when BR-
HD50 is in the OPERATE OFF state)
zWhether to set BR-HD50 to enter the OPER-
ATE ON mode or OPERATE OFF mode when
power is supplied to the terminal can be
selected with DC IN MODE in the SYSTEM [2/
2] Menu screen.

cDC power cord clamp

Use this clamp to fasten the DC power cord.

d[SIGNAL GND] terminal

This is the grounding terminal for signals.
