High definition down convert function

When you want to playback a tape recorded in HDV format, you can down convert any images to output them. This function allows you to preview recorded- images on a monitor which is not compatible with High-Definition (HD) format. Also, you can select an aspect ratio from SQUEEZE, LETTER BOX (except HDV/DV jack output), or EDGE CROP.

Multiple input/output interfaces

HDV/DV jack, COMPONENT OUT jacks, S VIDEO jacks and VIDEO jacks and AUDIO jacks are equipped on the unit and enable the connection with various devices.

JOG AUDIO function

If you use the optional remote control unit DSRM-10 (not supplied), audio can be monitored at various playback speeds when in jog/shuttle mode.

(Jog audio cannot be output when the tape is recorded in HDV format.)

Screen Language Setting

You can select the language.

The default language setting is English.

See page 53 to change the screen language.
