Before turning the main power off, always check to be sure that the unit is in the standby state, and then push the main power switch to the a side.

To control this unit from a controller or VTR supporting the RS-422A Sony 9-pin VTR protocol, connect the device to this connector. When you use this connector, set the remote connector selector switch to the REMOTE(9P) side, and set INTERFACE SELECT > REMOTE I/F in the setup menu to “9PIN/RS232C” (see page 85).

cRemote connector selector switch

Push this switch to the side of the remote control connector you are using, either the RS232C connector or the REMOTE (9P) connector.

d S400 connector (6-pin, IEEE1394 compliant) Connect a DV device or computer using an i.LINK cable. The following connection types are supported. They are selected by setting INTERFACE SELECT >i.LINK MODE in the setup menu (see page 85).

AV/C (Audio/Video Control) connection: Output DVCAM format digital video and audio signals (i.LINK MODE set to “AV/C”).

Audio output signals are 2ch or 4ch, as selected by AUDIO CONTROL >DV OUT MODE in the setup menu (see page 85).
