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 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.
