Item number	Item	Settable range		Function
809	AUDIO LEVEL	[0]	[0]	Specifies the brightness of the audio level meter.
	METER DIMMER	I	I	0 is the brightest level.
	CONTROL	7	7	7 is the darkest level.
810	AUDIO EDIT	[0]	[internal]	Sets the output phase for the audio playback signal in
	PREVIEW	1	external switcher	edit preset mode.
	SWITCHER			0 : Audio playback signal phase is identical to that in E-E
				mode.
				Choose this setting during single VTR editing or
				previewing the VTR output signal with the monitor
				function.
				1 : Audio playback signal phase is identical to that of the
				video input signal or video signal from an external
				switcher.
				Choose this setting when previewing the audio output
				signal of the VTR through an external switcher. This
				will prevent the muting/discontinuity in the audio at
				AUDIO IN/OUT points.
				However, the editing results are normal no matter
				which setting is selected.

Note

•When “external switcher” is selected:

The operation on the VTR is treated as editing operation when the unit receives a CONFI ON control signal from the control panel or a remote controller.

At this time, playback signal phase is identical to that of the video input or video signal from the external switcher.

When CONFI play is disabled by setting of the item 316 (MODE 3: REC ONLY), the phase of the playback signal is identical to that of the output phase in E-E mode.

•When using an editor such as the BVE-800:

Some editors such as the BVE-800 do not operate CONFI ON control (selecting a playback head) when editing.

When using these units and this setting is “external switcher”, shifting of picture or muting/discontinuity in the audio may occur at the IN point/OUT point when editing.

When this problem occurs, set this item to “internal”, or set the VTR to CONFI ON mode through the VTR control panel. However, the editing result is normal no matter what this setting is.
