Important

If you switch to Progressive when using a TV that is not compatible with progressive-scan video, you will not be able to see anything displayed on your TV. If this happens, press and hold the + button on the front panel, then press HDD. This will set the recorder’s video output back to Interlace.

Compatibility of this unit with progressive-scan TVs Consumers should note that not all high-definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output (Interlace). If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model, please contact our customer service center.

When set to On, NTSC discs (from the U.S., for example) will play correctly on a PAL-only TV. Change to Off if your TV is already NTSC-compatible.

Depending on this setting and the Input Line System setting (see Input Line System on page 96), the signal format output when the recorder is stopped varies as shown in the table below.

If the external source is standard stereo, leave set to Stereo. If each channel carries a separate soundtrack, change to Dual Mono.

When the external audio is from the DV input, an audio subcode channel within the DV audio tells the recorder whether the audio is stereo or dual mono. This has priority over the setting you make here.

When recording a dual mono source from an external input in Video mode or VR mode set to FINE / MN 32, you can choose to record either the L (left), or the R (right) audio channel.

Note

If you’re recording in VR mode (except when set to FINE / MN 32), both channels will be recorded and you can switch them as you like on playback.
