Notes

•The unit cannot detect signals for an Index signal, a signal other than the one set by [AUTO] in [HDV/DV SEL], or an unrecorded portion within 20 seconds of the beginning of the playback.

•When you intend to turn the unit off, press the STOP button on the unit to stop the tape transport operation beforehand. If you turn the unit off while a tape is running, for example, by using an AC timer, the unit or the tape may be damaged.

•The editing software used by a digital non-linear editing system may mark index signals on a tape itself. Therefore, if you use a tape on which signals transmitted from a digital non-linear editing controller are recorded or a copy tape made from one, using digital dubbing, CUSTOM REPEAT may not be performed correctly.

EDGE CROP MARKER

The unit allows you to adjust the edge crop position when you output down converted HDV 16:9 wide screen pictures to 4:3 standard TV mode pictures.

By displaying the edge crop marker on the monitor, you can check the crop position on the LCD monitor beforehand.
