Notes

To playback the picture recorded in the HDV format when you connect the monitor using a component video cable, set [COMPONENT] on the [IN/OUT REC] menu according to your monitor (p. 49). When the picture recorded in the DVCAM/DV format is play back, only a picture with a quality equivalent with the DVCAM/DV format is output regardless of the [COMPONENT] setting.

The output level of the COMPONENT OUT jack is as follows:

Y: 1 Vp-p (480i NTSC/576i PAL: 0.3 V sync negative)

Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr: 700 mVp-p (100% color bar), output impedance 75 (ohms)

To connect the unit to the other equipment, conversion may be required in some cases.

There are some restrictions on using EE pictures

output from the COMPONENT OUT jack of the unit.

Refer to 4COMPONENT OUT (OUTPUT) jack in “Location and Function of Parts” on page 15.

If you connect the input connectors of this unit to the output connectors of a monitor, a humming noise may be generated or the image may be distorted. If these phenomena occur, use the INPUT SELECT switch to select a signal that is not being input or disconnect the cables.

You cannot output the DVCAM/DV formatted signals including copyright control signals through the COMPONENT OUT jacks.

This unit cannot output images recorded in the DVCAM/DV format after up-converting the tape to HDV.
