Recording and Playback 3 Chapter

To pause recording

If you have pressed the VTR button on the camera to start shooting, press the VTR button on the camera. Pressing the PAUSE button on the unit does not pause the recording.

If you have pressed the PAUSE button on the unit to start shooting, press the PAUSE button on the unit. To pause recording with the VTR button on the camera, press the VTR button twice.

To start recording using the DSRM-20 Remote Control Unit (not supplied)

Press the PLAY button while pressing the REC button. The unit changes to the recording pause mode. Pressing the PAUSE button on the DSRM-20 starts the recording.

When the battery pack is almost exhausted

The unit has a battery compartment and a DC IN 12V connector. When the battery pack in the battery compartment is almost exhausted, you can temporarily connect an AC adaptor to the DC IN 12V connector then exchange the battery pack to continue the recording and this can be done without interrupting the recording. In this case, however, some noise may be recorded.

Notes

The unit does not record any pictures unless the video signals are input (except when inputting signals from the DV IN/OUT connector). If there are no video signals or signals are interrupted during recording, the unit pauses; if signals resume, the unit resumes recording.

If the camera outputs both component and composite signals, the unit uses the component signals.

If you press the VTR button on the camera to start recording, the tape transport control buttons, except the STOP button on the unit, are disabled.

The return video signals to the camera are the same as those for the VIDEO OUT1 output. If you have turned off the SUPERIMPOSE switch, the superimposed data on the return video signal to the camera will not be displayed.

The unit changes to the stop mode after the recording has been paused for more than five minutes to protect the tape if you have set FROM REC P on the VTR SET menu to STOP. Repeat the procedure from step 2 to start recording again.
