1394 INITIAL ERROR

This is displayed when the connections for the IEEE

 

 

1394 digital interface is invalid.

 

VTRThe IEEE 1394 digital interface input/output is

 

stopped.

zWhen the cable is connected in a loop configuration, connect the cable again in a point-to-point configuration. If the cable is not connected in a loop configuration, turn the POWER switch from OFF to ON.

E-04

UNKNOWN SIG

This is displayed when the input signal from the IEEE 1394 digital interface is not in the DVCPRO/DV format. VTRThe recording operation is disabled.

zConfirm that 1394 input is connected properly.

E-90

NOT 1X 100M SIG

This is displayed when the signal input into the IEEE 1394 digital interface is not at the 1X transfer speed in DVCPRO HD (100 Mbps) format.

VTRThe recording operation is disabled.*1

zConfirm the 1394 input signals.

E-16

INVALID VIDEO SIG

This is displayed when the video signal input from the IEEE 1394 digital interface is invalid.

zThe warning is displayed during the recording operation only. In this case, the audio recording is muted.

VTRThe recording operation is disabled.*1

zConfirm the 1394 input signals.

E-17

INVALID AUDIO SIG

This is displayed when the audio signal input from the IEEE 1394 digital interface is invalid.

zThe warning is displayed during the recording operation only. In this case, the audio recording is muted.

VTRThe recording operation is disabled.*2

zConfirm the 1394 input signals.

E-18

INVALID TC SIG

This is displayed when the time code information from the IEEE 1394 digital interface is invalid.

zThe warning is displayed during the recording operation only. In this case, the time code generated internally is recorded.

VTRThe recording operation is disabled.*3

zConfirm the 1394 input signals.

E-14

NO MATCH SIG

This is displayed when the signal input into the IEEE 1394 digital interface has a different system format as

the one set in the unit.

Lower VTRThe recording operation is disabled.*2

zConfirm the 1394 input signals.

*1 The error indication is always displayed in EE mode. In this case, the black signals are recorded as the video signal and the audio signals are muted.

*2 The error indication is always displayed in EE mode. In this case, the audio signals are muted.

*3 The error indication is always displayed in EE mode. In this case, the time code for the internal time code generator of the unit is recorded as the time code signal.

FAN STOP ¢

Higher Check that no foreign matter has accumulated on the fan.

This is displayed when the fan motor has stopped. The name of the fan under abnormal conditions is displayed as indicated with an asterisk.

Main: The main fan on the rear panel

Power: The fan for the power supply on the rear panel

Mecha: The fan built-in to the unit.

VTR: Operation continues (and a warning beep is

sounded regardless of the menu setting.) When the Main fan or the Power fan stops for 5 minutes or more, the power supply of the unit is forcibly turned OFF.

zCheck that no foreign matter has accumulated on the fan.

zWait for several minutes after turning OFF the POWER switch and then turn it ON again.

E-09

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.

zWhen no signals are output from any of the heads

zWhen the playback data cannot be read

zWhen the CTL signal is not present

VTR: Operation continues.

zCheck the tape. An unrecorded tape may have been inserted.

E-00

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.

zCheck the tape. A tape recorded using a system which does not allow playback may have been inserted.

E-93

INVALID TC MODE (in 23/24 Hz, 25 Hz (HD or SD) or 50 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. The servo lock may be unlocked.

VTR: Operation continues.

zCheck 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.

E-94

TC SEQUENCE UNMATCH (in 23/24 Hz, 25 Hz (HD or SD) or 50 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.

zCheck 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

Lower 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.
