<Notes>

z When an adjustment is made with the external

encoder remote controller, the new values are reflected in the appropriate section of the Setup Menu. The adjusted values are stored on the unit approximately 5 seconds after making the adjustment. To turn off the power after making the adjustment with the external encoder remote controller, wait approximately 5 seconds or more after completion of the operation before turning the power off.

For selecting what is to be controlled when the video output level is to be adjusted by an external encoder remote controller. 0000 HD

The HD video output level can be adjusted.

0001 SD

The SD video output level can be adjusted.

0002 BOTH

Both the HD and SD video output levels can be adjusted.

z 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, 25 Hz (HD or SD) and 50 Hz (HD or SD)]. These settings are saved separately.

For selecting the output whose HD output phase is to be advanced by 90H in relation to the SD output.

0000 0H

Both the HD and SD signals are output in phase with the HD and SD REF output signals.

0001 90H

The HD signals are output at a phase advanced by 90H from the SD output signals. When the SD REF signal is input, the REF input and SD output are in-phase, and when the HD REF signal is input, the REF input and HD output are inphase.

<Notes>

z The audio signals and TC signal are output in

phase with the HD output.

z With the 720p format, there is a phase difference

of 120H between them.

For selecting whether to set or release the system file lock mode.

<Notes>

Even if [ON] is selected, the file is overwritten when the system file is retrieved from an SD memory card.

(This concerns those items whose settings were described for each operation mode on the system menu and setup menu tables.)

z For further details, refer to <Menu management accompanying

switching the system frequency> on page 113.

z Since this VTR becomes a playback-only unit when the 23/24

Hz, 25 Hz (HD or SD) or 50 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 1k 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.

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.

<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, 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.)

System menu and setup menu settings

z 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

z 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.

z 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. Note that the registered contents on items that are not displayed will be deleted during the following operations.

When the set value in Setup Menu No. 600 (VIDEO IN SEL) changes from SD SDI to another set value or from another set value to SD SDI.

z When the set value in Setup Menu No. 650 (STYLE)

changes.

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

z 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.

z 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. Note that the registered contents on items that are not displayed will be deleted during the following operations.

When the set value in Setup Menu No. 600 (VIDEO IN SEL) changes from SD SDI to another set value, or from another set value to SD SDI,
