System menus

*System switching

• Some of the system menu and setup menu items each have
different settings for different operation modes (59/60 Hz, 50
Hz, 23/24 Hz and 25 Hz (HD or SD)). These settings are
saved separately.
(This concerns those items whose settings were described
for each operation mode on the system menu and setup
menu tables.)

• For further details, refer to “How to switch the system
frequency” on page 105.

• Since this VTR becomes a playback-only unit when the
23/24 Hz or 25 Hz (HD or SD) mode has been selected,
the functions relating to EE, recording and editing are all
set to the inhibited status. Neither is it possible to select
CTL in such a case.
(The related menus and function buttons are not
displayed, and operation is prohibited.)
For the instant when the tape begins to run at the 1

k

speed such as when it starts playing from the STOP
status, the image is disrupted and the sound is muted for
several frames because the tape is being synchronized
with the REF input.

The underlining (__) denotes the factory setting mode.

conversion outputs).

Accidental erasure protection function

This function is used to prevent parts already recorded on a tape from being
recorded over. Accidental erasure of pre-recorded tapes is prevented by
positioning the CTL signal rec/play heads as shown in the figure below so that
whether a recording has been made can be determined by the presence or
absence of the CTL signal. When the REC/PLAY button is pressed with a pre­recorded tape, the tape runs but the REC button lamp blinks, the beeping
alarm is sounded, and no signals are recorded.

so on each time the “L” or “R” button is pressed. The
selected signals are displayed below the audio level
meter.

• At the L, R or L/R setting, the signals of a multiple
number of channels can be mixed and output. When
the number key corresponding to the channel whose
signals are to be monitored is pressed while the “L”
(or “R”) button is held down, that channel is selected.
The selected channel is displayed below the audio
level meter. (Alternatively, the same steps can be
taken to de-select a channel which has already been
selected.) However, only up to 2 channels among the
CH1-CH4 channels and up to 2 channels among the
CH5 to CH8 channels can be selected.

<Notes>

• Dolby-E data cannot be recorded or played back in

Setup menus

<Menu management accompanying switching the system frequency>

The system menu and setup menu have some items whose settings differ and other items with which no
selection options are displayed and whose settings are fixed (indicated by the shading in the table below),
depending on the switching of the operation mode in response to the setting selected for system menu item
No.25 (SYSTEM FREQ). (Refer to the table below.)

<50P IN/OUT> 50-pin connector registration

• When the items whose settings differ have been
registered in the <50P IN/OUT> 50-pin connector
pins, the settings corresponding to the operation
modes are allocated to the IN and OUT pins on the
basis of the setting numbers. However, when the
upper limit value is exceeded, the value will be
limited to this upper limit.
What has been registered is saved, but bear in mind
that when the data is registered again, it is saved by
overwriting the existing data so that the previously
registered data will be lost.

• If items, whose selection options are not displayed
due to the operation mode, have been registered in
the <50P IN/OUT> 50-pin connector, when an
operation mode in which these options are not
displayed is selected, what has been registered is
saved but no operation is possible. Bear in mind,
however, that when the data is registered again, it is
saved by overwriting the existing data so that the
previously registered data will be lost.

System menu and setup menu settings

• Each of the items whose settings differ is saved in
the VTR MEMORY (current file and one of the
backup files 1 to 4). The settings that correspond to
each operation mode will be displayed so that the
settings can be performed for each operation mode.

Registration of the <PF1> and <PF2> function
buttons

• When the items whose settings differ have been
registered in the <PF1> and <PF2> function buttons,
the settings that correspond to each operation mode
will be displayed so that the settings can be performed
for each operation mode.

• If items, whose selection options are not displayed due
to the operation mode, have been registered in the
<PF1> or <PF2> function button, when an operation
mode in which these options are not displayed is
selected, what has been registered is saved but the
function button itself will become blank and cannot be
operated. Bear in mind, however, that when the data is
registered again, it is saved by overwriting the existing
data so that the previously registered data will be lost
