•When the signals are input through the i.LINK interface, the unit detects the field frequency of the input signal automatically. You do not need to change the [60i/50i SEL] setting. When [60i/50i SEL] is set to [50i], however, the time code generated by the unit is fixed to the non-drop frame mode. Even when 60i system signals are input to the i.LINK jack, the time code generated by the unit is the non-drop frame mode, regardless of the [TC FORMAT] setting in the [TC/UB SET] menu. To record in the drop frame mode, set [60i/50i SEL] to [60i].

5 Select input signals by switching the INPUT SELECT switch on the unit.

HDV/DV: to record input signals from the HDV/

DV jack

S VIDEO: to record input signals from the

S VIDEO IN jack

VIDEO: to record input signals from the VIDEO IN jack

You need to adjust [HDV/DV SEL] (page 70) and [ REC MODE] (page 70) in the [IN/OUT REC]

menu to the desired recording format.

For details on recording tape formats, see page 98.

Notes

•Do not change the INPUT SELECT switch setting during recording. If you change the setting of this switch during recording, recording will stop for several seconds. Recording will restart after the internal circuits are switched. During this time, no image is recorded.

•When DVCAM/DV signals which are input from the

HDV/DV jack, or video signals which are from the VIDEO IN jacks or S VIDEO IN jacks, are output to each analog output jack, the distortion of the video signals occurs at the bottom of the TV monitor display due to the jitter. Depending on the display area of the TV monitor you have, the distortion of the picture may appear at the bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

Pictures may be distorted or not be displayed depending on the TV monitors. This will not appear while recording with the unit.

Be aware of these phenomena when you connect other recording device via the analog jacks of the unit.

•Depending on the TV monitor being connected, the screen may blink or be distorted when DVCAM/DV

signals which are input from the HDV/DV jack, or video signals which are from the VIDEO IN jacks or S VIDEO IN jacks, are output to the VIDEO OUT jacks.

Be aware of these phenomena when you connect other recording device to these jacks. This will not appear while recording with the unit.
