Notes

•If you playback a Betacam/Betacam SP cassette immediately after playing back a Betacam SX cassette or Digital Betacam cassette, it may take several seconds for playback to start.

•This unit uses an auto-tracking function (when using the Digital Betacam or MPEG IMX format). The factory setting for the auto-tracking is on (AUTO TRACKING ON). You can turn auto-tracking off. For details on how to change the setting, contact your nearest Sony dealer. While this unit is pulling the tape in, the PLAY button indicator B flashes.

When using the Dolby C NR system

When using an analog Betacam cassette, you can use Dolby C NR for audio playback.

To activate the Dolby NR system, press the AU MON SEL/DOLBY C NR button while holding down the SHIFT button on the control panel.
