Warning messages

	• Display
Priority	• Description
	• VTR operation and remedial action
Higher	FAN STOP
	This is displayed when the fan motor has stopped.
	VTR:	Operation continues (and a warning beep is sounded
	regardless of the menu setting.)
	• Check that no foreign matter has accumulated on the fan.
	NO RF
	This is displayed when a blank part of the tape lasting for 1
	or more seconds has been detected during playback.
	When all of the following conditions have been met, it will be
	recognized as a blank part.
	• When no signals are output from any of the heads
	• When the playback data cannot be read
	• When the CTL signal is not present
	VTR:	Operation continues.
	• Check the tape. An unrecorded tape may have been
	inserted.
	SERVO NOT LOCKED
	This is displayed when the servo is not locked for 3 or more
	seconds during playback, recording or editing.
	VTR:	Operation continues.
	• Check the tape. A tape recorded using a system which
	does not allow playback may have been inserted		.
	INVALID TC MODE (in 23/24 Hz or 25 Hz (HD or SD)
	mode)
	This is displayed during playback if the time code has been
	recorded in the drop frame mode. The video output is
	disturbed and the audio output is muted at the time code
	drop point.
	VTR:	Operation continues.

•Check the tape. If a tape recorded using a variable frame rate camera is to be played back in this VTR, the time code must be recorded in the non-drop frame mode.

TC SEQUENCE UNMATCH (in 23/24 Hz or 25 Hz (HD or

SD) mode)

This is displayed during playback if the correlation between the active frame information and time code is irregular. The video output may not be uniform (the movements may not be smooth).

VTR: Operation continues.

•Check the tape. The active frame (first frame where the frame video is switched) information is recorded on a tape recorded using a variable frame rate camera. When such a tape is played back on this VTR, the 0 frame of the time code must be detected at the active frame position.

LOW RF

This is displayed when a state in which the envelope level has dropped to less than one-third of its normal level has been detected for 1 or more seconds or when a state in which the CTL signal level has dropped to less than one- sixth of its normal level has been detected for 1 or more seconds during playback, recording or editing.

•The CTL signal level is not detected during DV or DVCAM playback.

•During recording or editing, the envelope level of only the video simultaneous play heads is detected.

VTR: Operation continues.

• Clean the video heads and A/C head.

	HIGH ERROR RATE
	This	is displayed when the error rate increases and
	correction or interpolation is performed for either the video
	or audio signals.
Lower	VTR:	Operation continues.
	• Clean the video heads.
