The values enclosed in a box are factory settings.

Item number	Item	Settable range		Function
001	PREROLL TIME	00	0 sec	Selects the preroll time. A preroll time of 0 to 30 seconds
		l	l	can be selected. Though generally set to 3 seconds or
		[05]	[5 sec]	longer, preroll time of 5 seconds or longer would be
		l	l	recommended for phase synchronization by an edit
		30	30 sec	controller.
002	CHARACTER	00	00	Sets the horizontal screen position of the superimposed
(DVW-A500/1	H-POSITION	l	l	characters output from the SERIAL V/A OUTPUT 4(SUPER)
and 500/1)		[14]	[14]	or COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTPUT 3(SUPER) connector. A
		l	l	hexadecimal value of 00 indicates the far left of the screen,
		24	24	and 24 (decimal 36) the far right. Increasing the value moves
				the starting position to the right.
002	CHARACTER	00	00	Sets the horizontal screen position of the superimposed
(DVW-A500P/1	H-POSITION	l	l	characters output from the SERIAL V/A OUTPUT 4(SUPER)
and 500P/1)		[12]	[12]	or VIDEO OUTPUT COMPOSITE 3(SUPER) connector. A
		l	l	hexadecimal value of 00 indicates the far left of the screen,
		22	22	and 22 (decimal 34) the far right. Increasing the value
				moves the starting position to the right.
003	CHARACTER	00	00	Sets the vertical screen position of the first line of
(DVW-A500/1	V-POSITION	l	l	superimposed characters output from the SERIAL V/A
and 500/1)		[56]	[56]	output 4(SUPER) or VIDEO OUTPUT COMPOSITE
		l	l	3(SUPER) connector. A hexadecimal value of 00 indicates
		6A	6A	the top of the screen, and 6A (decimal 87) the bottom.
				Increasing the value lowers the position of the characters.
003	CHARACTER	00	00	Sets the vertical screen position of the first line of
(DVW-A500P/1	V-POSITION	l	l	superimposed characters output from the SERIAL V/A
and 500P/1)		[6A]	[6A]	OUTPUT 4(SUPER) or VIDEO OUTPUT COMPOSITE

		81	81	the top of the screen, and 6F (decimal 111) the bottom.
				Increasing the value lowers the position of the characters.
004	SYNCHRONIZE	[0]	[on]	Specifies phase synchronization of the two VTRs in phase
		1	off	synchronization, when the units are connected with a 9-pin
				remote cable with an editing system with this unit as the edit
				controller.
				0: Operates in phase synchronization
				1: Does not operate in phase synchronization
005	DISPLAY	[0]	[time data& status]	Determines the information to be displayed as
	INFORMATION	1	time data & UB	superimposed characters output from the SERIAL V/A
	SELECT	2	time data & CTL	OUTPUT 4(SUPER) or VIDEO OUTPUT COMPOSITE
		3	time data & time	3(SUPER) connector.
		4	data	0: Time counter display information and VTR status.
			time data only	1: Time counter display information and user bits.
		5	replay indicate	2: Time counter display information and CTL.
				3: Time counter display information and time code (LTC or
				VITC).
				4: Time code (LTC or VITC) only.
				5: “R” (replay) is displayed during DT playback mode.
