IEEE1394 digital input/output connector (option: AJ-YAD255G)

This enables signals to be input and output using the IEEE1394 digital interface. Use a 6-pin type of connector. Bus power is not supported.

VIDEO MON connector

Analog composite video signals are output from this connector. Video signals with information superimposed on them can be output. To set the superimposing to ON or OFF,

use the SUPER switch on the front panel.

AUDIO MON (L, R) connectors

The playback signal from the PCM audio signals (CH1 and CH2) are output from these connectors.

Fan

This fan is used to cool down the VTR.

If, for any reason, the fan stops, “E-10” will appear on the counter display.

AC IN socket

Connect one end of the power cord supplied to this socket and the other end to the power outlet.

SIGNAL GND terminal

This is connected to the signal ground terminal on the component connected to this VTR in order to minimize noise. It is not a safety ground.

SERIAL DIGITAL COMPONENT AUDIO VIDEO IN/OUT connectors

(option: AJ-YA94G)

Digital component audio/video signals complying with the SMPTE 259M-C standard are input to and output from these connectors.

Note:

The digital audio signals to be input must be synchronized with the video input signals. Otherwise, noise will be generated in the audio output signals.

ANALOG VIDEO IN connectors

The signals which are to be supplied to these connectors are selected as follows by setting the INPUT SELECT button on the front panel.

Y PB PR: Analog component video signals are input.

CMPST: Analog composite video signals are input using the VIDEO/Y connector .

S-VIDEO:S-Video (Y/C separated) signals are input using the

VIDEO/Y connector and PB/C connector .

Note:

The wide ID superimposed on the input signals is not detected.

VIDEO1/VIDEO2 (top position):

Two sets of analog composite video signals are output from

connectors and .

Y/C (middle position):

S-Video (Y/C separated) signals are output from

connectors and .

Note:

The wide ID is not superimposed onto the output signals.

ANALOG VIDEO OUT selector switch

Set this switch to the Y PB PR position (bottom) when using the ANALOG VIDEO OUT connectors for component video output, set to the VIDEO1 VIDEO2 position (top) when using for composite video output, and set to the middle position when using for S-Video (Y/C separated) output.

REF VIDEO IN connector

This is the input connector for the reference video signal. Input a signal with color burst.

Note:

Since the video or audio output signal may be disrupted if the reference video signal is not input, it is recommended that this connector be used by the system which supplies the reference video signals.

Use a signal where SCH does not fluctuate for the reference video signal.

REF VIDEO OUT connector

This is the loop-through output connector of the REF

VIDEO IN connector . When a cable is not connected

to this connector, the REF VIDEO IN connector is

automatically terminated by the 75 Ω resistance. When a cable is connected, the 75 Ω termination is released.

TIME CODE IN connector

This connector is used for recording the external time code onto the tape.

TIME CODE OUT connector

The playback time code is output from this connector during playback. During recording, the time code generated by the internal time code generator is output.

Remote control connector
