The POWER switches on unit and extension control unit must be set to OFF before the remote control cable is connected or disconnected.

´26-pin/12-pin output adaptor (See page 104 for mounting method.)

The 26-pin/12-pin output adaptor AJ-YA900P (option) is mounted on this section. When the portable VTR is connected as the external VTR, recording can be performed simultaneously with the unit’s built-in VTR.

Furthermore, by connecting the SHAN-C12TCA multi-connector cable (optional accessory) to the 12-pin connector, it is possible to output the sound of audio channels 1 and 2 separately.

µVIDEO OUT connector (BNC)

This outputs the video signals (75° termination, rated level) to be monitored. During recording,

EE images can be monitored; during playback, playback images can be monitored.

While performing settings on the menu, the setting menu can be superimposed onto the shot images appearing on the monitor screen so that the settings can also be checked.

¶CAM OUT (camera output) connector (BNC)

This outputs the composite video signals (75° termination, rated level). When a video monitor is connected, the images shot by the camera can be monitored. Even while the VTR is playing back, the camera’s images are output at all times.
