Even if SC adjustment is performed, a phase shift will
take place at the time of power on/off. The SC phase
must be adjusted each time the power is turned on.

the "SYnc inh" (SYNC INHIBIT) indicator is displayed
on the counter display and recording stops.
• If the external sync signal is disrupted during playback,
playback of the disturbed video image continues.
Start playback again after synchronization is obtained
and the signal is stabilized.
