•When no cable is connected to REF VIDEO OUT connector, the REF VIDEO IN connector is automatically terminated at 75 Ω. Connecting a cable to this connector releases

75 Ω termination.

•When 59-23, 60-24 or 60-25 is selected in setup menu No. 25 SYSTEM FREQ, synchronization is provided only for playback HD reference signals.

12.AUDIO MONITOR OUT connector

This connector outputs the audio signal (CH1, CH2,

CH3 and CH4) that is selected with the MONITOR

SELECT button.

13.ANALOG COMPOSITE MONITOR OUT connector

Outputs analog composite monitor video signals.

14.ANALOG COMPOSITE VIDEO IN connector

Inputs analog composite video signals.

15.ANALOG COMPONENT VIDEO OUT connectors

Inputs analog composite video signals during output of HD signals. When SD is selected as the output signal, three composite signals are output.

Setup menu 643 OUT MODE SEL determines the signals that are output.

◆NOTE:

•Use only shielded cable for cables (except the AC cable) that are connected to the rear panel. Cables connected to serial digital signal connectors (SDI IN/OUT connectors) should be double shielded cables.

IEEE 1394 Digital Interface

■Basic Setup

Make sure that setup menu No. 882 DIF IN CH and No. 883

DIF OUT CH on this unit are set to “AUTO.”

◆NOTE:

•Only signals that comply with the format selected in setup menu No. 020 SYS FORMAT can be input. When the SYS FORMAT is 480i (576i at 50 Hz), operations are limited to setup menu No. 024 REC FMT (SD) settings.

•The selected recording format and the format of a recording on an

inserted P2 card determine the output format.

*Select CH1/CH2 or CH3/CH4 as the output audio channels (in DVCPRO/DV).

■Precautions

•Connect this unit to only one other device.

•If the E-92 warning (1394 INITIAL ERROR) appears, reconnect the connecting cable or turn the power off and back on again.

•AV signals may be disrupted when connected devices are turned on and off or when the interface cable is connected or disconnected.

•It may take the system a few seconds to stabilize after switching input signals or changing modes. Start recording after the system has stabilized.

•The following applies to recordings made via the IEEE 1394 digital interface as well as to the signals it outputs.

-The audio level control knobs on the front panel do not work.

-The settings in menu No. 680 and 681 regarding blanking periods are ignored.

-Video and audio recording and EE type video and audio of signal inputs other than 1x speed playback signals are not guaranteed.

•The following applies to video input via the IEEE 1394 digital interface.

-In the EE mode, SDI, analog video output signals and time codes become irregular. Do not use these signals for recording.

•Unprocessed video and audio signals are output via the IEEE 1394 digital interface during SLOW and STILL playback. When monitored on another device, these video and audio signals may sound different than when played back on this unit. Do not start up any other application program when this unit is connected to other devices during nonlinear editing. Such applications could adversely affect the video output by such a device during nonlinear editing.

◆NOTE:

Observe the following when connecting an IEEE 1394 cable (separately sold). (An incorrect connection may damage this unit or external devices.)

•Turn off all connected devices before connecting or disconnecting IEEE1394 cables.

Connect all devices provided with a ground connector to ground (or to a common ground).

•When connecting the unit to a device with a 4-pin connector, connect the cable to the 6-pin connector on this unit first.

•Be sure to correctly connect an IEEE1394 cable to a connector.

•When connecting a cable to a 6-pin IEEE1394 connector, make sure that it mates properly with the connector.
