Playback and Recording 3 Chapter
This section describes video and audio recording on the unit.
See page 75 “Function Menu” in Chapter 6 for more information about function menu operations.
See page 86 “Setup Menu Operations” in Chapter 6 for more information about setup menu operations.
Note
It is not possible to combine material recorded in different system frequencies and audio recording formats on a single disc (although different bit rates may be combined). If you attempt to record material in a system frequency or audio recording format that differs from that of existing recorded material on the disc, “REC INH” appears on the display and recording is inhibited.
Make the following settings and adjustments before starting to record.
Recording format settings: See the next section “To set the video and audio recording formats”.
Timecode and user bits settings: See “Recording Timecode and User Bit Values” (page 38).
Selection of time data to display: Select with CNTR SEL on the HOME page of the function menu.
Selection of audio channels to monitor: Select with MONI CH and MONI SEL on the HOME page of the function menu.
Volume adjustment of the monitor audio: Adjust with
the LEVEL knob.
Remote/local setting: Set the remote control switch. If you set it to REMOTE, also set the setup menu item
INTERFACE SELECT >REMOTE I/F (“REMOTE” and the connector used appear on the display).
To set the audio recording format

Menu setting | Display | Audio recording |
|
| format |
2ch×16bit | 2CH 16BIT | 2 channels/16 bits |

Recording Timecode and User Bit Values
There are the following four ways of recording timecode: Internal Preset mode: This records the output of the
internal timecode generator, set beforehand to an initial value. The following run modes can be selected.
•Free Run: Timecode advances continually.
•Rec Run: Timecode advances only during
recording.
Internal Regen mode: This records the output of the internal timecode generator, initialized to timecode following continuously upon the timecode of the last frame of the last clip on the disc.
