Sony DSR-1500, DSR-1500P Recording Procedure

Playback and Recording 2 Chapter

7 With the VAR switch on the front panel set to REC, use the REC/PB LEVEL control knobs to adjust audio input levels. Watching the audio level meter, adjust the level so that the meter does not indicate higher values than 0 dB when the audio signal is at its maximum. When the level exceeds 0 dB, the OVER indicator lights.

The factory-preset audio recording level is − 20 dB (DSR-1500) or − 18 dB (DSR-1500P). This setting can be changed using the LEVEL SELECT menu item (see page 66).

Notes

•When controlling this unit from an editing control unit connected to the REMOTE connector of this unit, set the LOCAL/REMOTE switch to REMOTE, turning the REMOTE indicator on. When not, set the switch to LOCAL, turning the indicator off.

•If you intend to use a tape recorded on this unit in a system comprising a DSR- 85/85P and an ES-7 EditStation, it is recommended to record color bars on at least the first 40 seconds of the tape.

When transferring digital signals from the DSR-85/85P to the ES-7 EditStation at four times normal speed, there must be recording for approximately 40 seconds before the IN point.
