5. Inspection using external microphones

1Connect external microphones to the AUDIO IN CH1 and

CH2 jacks.

2Set the AUDIO IN CH1 and CH2 switches to REAR.

3Set the LINE/MIC/+48V selector switch on the back panel

to MIC or +48V in accordance with the external mic’s

power supply type.

MIC : Internal power supply mic.

+48V: External power supply mic.

4Point the microphones at the sound source, and check

that the changes in the audio levels displayed on the

audio level meter of the display window and in the

viewfinder reflect the changes in the strength of the

sound.

This inspection can also be performed for each channel

by connecting one of the microphones to each channel in

turn.

6. Inspections relating to the time code and user

bits

1Set the user bits as required.

For details on the setting procedure, refer to “4-5-1

Setting the user bits.”

2Set the time code.

For details on the setting procedure, refer to “4-5-3

Setting the time code.”

3Set the TCG switch to R-RUN.

4Press the VTR START button.

Check that the figure on the counter display changes as

the tape travels.

5Press the VTR START button again.

Check that the tape stops and the figure shown on the

counter display stops changing.

7Set the DISPLAY switch to UB.

Check that pressing the HOLD button advances the

display value through the sequence VTCG >DATE >

TIME >no display (time zone) >TCG.

6Set the TCG switch to F-RUN.

Check that the figure on the counter display changes

irrespective of the tape travel.

6-1-4 Self-diagnosis function

Simplified checks can be undertaken on the unit’s system at

such times when, for instance, a color video monitor is not

available.

Perform menu operations to open the <SYSTEM CHECK>
