Description of setting

 

 

 

 

113*1

For selecting whether to allow or inhibit recording

 

on the cassette tape.

REC INH

0000

OFF:

 

 

Recording on the cassette tape is enabled when the

 

cassette’s accidental erasure prevention mechanism

 

has been set to the recording enable position.

 

0001

ALL:

 

 

All recording on the cassette tape is inhibited.

 

0002

PRE:

 

 

Overwriting is inhibited during normal recording.

 

This is the setting to activate the accidental erasure

 

prevention function. While CTL is detected, the

 

recording is inhibited, and when CTL cannot be

 

detected, it is executed.

 

0003

NORM:

 

 

Normal recording is inhibited.

 

Use this setting when it is preferable to avoid

 

using normal recording in all applications

 

except for editing.

 

0004

V/CTL:

 

 

The recording of the video and CTL signals is

 

inhibited.

 

 

Use this setting when it is preferable to avoid editing

 

in all applications except for audio editing.

 

<Note>

 

 

 

When the PRE, NORM or V/CTL setting has been

 

selected, the REC INHIBIT lamp blinks (on for approx.

 

0.5 sec. and then off for approx. 0.5 sec.).

Accidental erasure protection function

This function is used to prevent parts already recorded on a tape from being recorded over. Accidental erasure of pre-recorded tapes is prevented by positioning the CTL signal rec/play heads as shown in the figure below so that whether a recording has been made can be determined by the presence or absence of the CTL signal. When the REC/PLAY button is pressed with a pre- recorded tape, the tape runs but the REC button lamp blinks, the beeping alarm is sounded, and no signals are recorded.

A/C heads (rec/play heads)

*1: This item is not displayed when the 23/24 Hz or 25 Hz (HD or SD) mode has been selected as the system menu item No.25 (SYSTEM FREQ) setting.

The underlining (__) denotes the factory setting mode.
