O It is not possible to select ANALOG for the video input signals and SDI for the audio input signals or vice versa— the same setting must be used for both sets of signals.

O The input signals cannot be recorded properly if a recording inhibit signal is recorded with them.

O Check that the SERVO lamp remains lighted during recording. The pictures played back will be disturbed if the lamp is flashing or off.
