these VTRs or to connect this VTR to an external

controller so that the VTR can be operated from an

external component.

Two remote control connectors are provided: one

for IN/OUT use and the other for OUT use only.

IN/OUT:

For connection with an external controller

SERVICE ONLY

1AC IN socket

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

2DIGITAL AUDIO IN and OUT connectors

These are the input and output connectors for digital audio signals that comply with the AES/EBU standards.

<Note>

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

3ANALOG COMPONENT VIDEO IN connectors (optional)

The analogue component video signals are input to these connectors.

4ANALOG COMPOSITE VIDEO IN connectors and 75 Ω termination switch (optional)

The analogue composite video signals are input to these connectors. A loop-through configuration is featured for each pair of input connectors.

For termination at this VTR, set the termination switch to ON.

5REF VIDEO IN connectors and 75 Ω termination switch

These are the input connectors of the reference video signals.

Input a reference signal with colour burst.

For termination at this VTR, set the termination switch to ON.

<Note>

Video and audio output may be disturbed when the reference video signal is not input, so it is recommended that a system which inputs the reference video signal be used.

For connection with deck-to-deck operations

OUT:

For connection with parallel run operations

For loop-through use

<Note>

If connection is to be made to the OUT connector

for deck-to-deck operations where this VTR will

serve as the recorder, which of the two connectors

is to be used can be selected using setup menu No.

212 (MASTER PORT).

7ENCODER REMOTE connector

An external encoder remote controller is connected to this connector when the video output signal settings are to be adjusted from an external component.

8ANALOG AUDIO IN connectors

These are the analogue audio input connectors.

9TIME CODE IN connector

This connector is used to record an external time code onto the tape.

:TIME CODE OUT connector

During playback, the playback time code is output through this connector.

During recording, the time code generated by the internal time code generator is output.

;SERIAL DIGITAL COMPONENT AUDIO and VIDEO IN and OUT connectors

These are the input and output connectors for the digital component audio and video signals that comply with the ITU-R BT.656-3 standard.

Video signals containing superimposed information can be output through the SDI OUT 3 connector. Whether the superimposing is to be set ON or OFF is selected using the SUPER switch W on the front panel.

<Note>

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