Notes

•If you insert the sound on the stereo 2 track of the picture under the following conditions, the inserted sound will be muted even if you select to listen to both stereo 1 and stereo 2 sounds:

You make the player VCR enter the playback pause mode, or slow or high- speed playback, and then record that picture on this VCR with the DV connection.

•When the tape is carried out DV dubbing using a domestic DV equipment to playback, you might not to be able to edit the tape with editing equipment for business use such as the DSR-80/85. If you want to edit using such equipment, carry out dubbing again using it to record.

Audio recording mode

•In the DVCAM format, the sound is recorded in either 16bit (Fs48k) or 12bit (Fs32k) mode.

–The 16bit (Fs48k) mode uses the whole audio area to record one stereo track. You can get higher sound quality.

–The 12bit (Fs32k) mode separates the audio area into 2 parts. You can record two kinds of audio, stereo 1 and stereo 2.

•The audio recording mode of the tape is shown by the PCM MODE indicators on the operation panel. (page 49)

–The audio recording mode is decided as follows:

When recording from the DV jack: the sound is recorded in the same audio mode as the source tape.

–When recording from the LINE IN connectors: you can select the audio mode by setting AUDIO MODE in the SET UP MENU. (page 21)

About DV connection, etc.

DV connection

The DV jack transmits video and audio signals in digital form. The video and audio signals are sent with hardly any degradation, enabling high-quality editing. The signal flow is automatically detected so you need not make separate connections for input and output.

•The DV jack of this VCR outputs playback video and audio signals only. Signals from the VCR's line inputs are not output from the DV jack.

•With the DV connection, the sound is recorded in the same audio recording mode as that of the source tape. To record in a different audio recording mode from the source tape, use the LINE connection instead.

•With the DV connection, tape information (recording date, camcorder data, etc.) recorded on the source tape is transmitted from the other VCR (player). As a result, when you play back a recorded tape and press DATA CODE, the same tape information recorded on the source tape is displayed on the monitor screen. However, contents of the cassette memory are not transmitted. In addition, the time code is newly recorded on the tape on this VCR, except when copying a tape in Duplicate mode.

•The functions working during playback such as on-screen display and Wide PB cannot be transmitted with the DV connection. To enable such a function, use the LINE connection.
