:REMOTE buttons and RS-232C display

These buttons are used when this VTR is to be controlled from an external component using the REMOTE, RS-232C or parallel connector.

9P: When this button is pressed for 2 or more seconds, its LED lights, and the 9-pin REMOTE connector is selected.

50P: When this button is pressed for 2 or more seconds, its LED lights, and it is possible to control the VTR from a unit which has been connected using the 50-pin parallel mode connector.

RS-232C display: This LED lights when communi- cation has been enabled between the VTR and the unit which has been connected to the RS-232C connector.

;AUTO OFF lamp

This lamp lights when a problem has occurred with the VTR’s operation, and details of the problem appear on the time code display.

<LCD monitor

This monitor is used to check the tape’s playback pictures and EE pictures.

When an HD tape is played back, the signals are down- converted and displayed in the letter-box screen format. When an SD tape is played back, the signals are displayed using a 4:3 aspect ratio.

On-screen menus can also be displayed on the monitor. If the VTR is left in a state where no controls on the front panel are operated or where the tape is not running, the monitor display is automatically turned off in order to protect the monitor. When the next VTR operation is started, the monitor display comes back on.

<Note>

Although the LCD monitor has been manufactured using technology with extremely high levels of precision, some pixels may be missing from parts of the screen or some pixels may remain lighted. These missing or lighted pixels will not be recorded. It should also be borne in mind that this is not indicative of a malfunction.
