WRR-855 series UHF synthesized tuner (supplied separately) is installed using the CA-WR855

R (REAR): Audio input signals from an audio device connected to the AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 connectors (The signal input to the AUDIO IN CH-1 connector is recorded on channel 3, and the signal input to the AUDIO IN CH-2 connector on channel 4.)

Note

For audio channels 3 and 4, level adjustment can only be performed in AUTO (automatic) mode. The audio level of these channels cannot be adjusted in MANUAL (manual) mode.

kVIDEO OUT (video output) CHARACTER switch Selects whether or not (ON/OFF) to superimpose text information on the VIDEO OUT connector output.

lF-RUN/SET/R-RUN (free run/set/recording run) switch

Selects the operating mode of the internal timecode generator. The operating mode is set as explained below, depending on the position of the switch.

F-RUN:Timecode keeps advancing, regardless of the operating state of the VDR. Use this setting when

synchronizing the timecode with an external timecode.

SET: Sets the timecode or user bits.

R-RUN:Timecode advances only during recording. Use this setting to have a consecutive timecode on the disc.

For details, see “To set the timecode” on page 61 and “To set the user bits” on page 62.

mFRONT MIC LOW CUT switch

Set to ON to insert a high-pass filter in the microphone circuit, reducing wind noise. Normally leave the switch in the OFF position.

nPRESET/REGEN (regeneration)/CLOCK switch Selects whether to set a new timecode or to utilize the existing timecode.

PRESET: Records a new timecode.

REGEN: Records timecode continuous with the existing timecode recorded on the disc. Regardless of the setting of the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch, the camcorder operates in R-RUN mode.

CLOCK: Records timecode synchronized to the internal clock. Regardless of the setting of the F-RUN/SET/R- RUN switch, the camcorder operates in F-RUN mode.
