Turning on the power

Turn on the power.

The HOME menu is displayed.

This VTR comes already programmed with menus that correspond to specific operating objectives, and the operations performed on each differ from one menu to another. When a menu is selected using a menu selection button, what appears on the display changes, and the function keys (F1 to F13) also implement the function corresponding to the respective menu items. SET UP menus are provided in order for the user to have settings on hand for the seldom used functions, etc. among the various menu items. The HOME menu is provided as the VTR’s basic menu. It automatically appears on the display when the power has been turned on. (However, the IC CARD menu will automatically appear if an IC card has been inserted.)

ONoteN

The animation display of a cassette tape appears after the cassette tape has been inserted.

Description

Transfers the VTR to the HOME SET UP menu screen.

This is used during insert editing in the AUTO or MANUAL EDIT mode when the already recorded digital signals are to be read in advance and used as the editing source. To set the item to ON, press the F together with the F11 or F12 key. To set it to OFF, press the F11 or F12 key on its own. When ON is selected as the setting, refer to the section on pre-read editing (next page).

ON: The digital signals are read in advance (pre-read). OFF: The digital signals are not read in advance (pre-read).

Simultaneous playback is possible during editing.

≥If OFF is selected by the F11 or F12 key, vibration may occur

when EE has been selected on the STATE screen. (This happens only when the input and output of the same channel have been connected.)

≥If ON has been set for either of these items, the up-converter

picture will be muted.

FREE: Enables recording. NRML.REC: Prohibits normal recording; enables editing. (The

REC INHIBIT lamp blinks at long intervals.)

ALL: Prohibits all recording. (REC INHIBIT lamp

glows.)

≥The CASSETTE REC INHIBIT mode which is set using the

recording inhibit pins on the cassette tape takes precedence over this key’s setting.

(1) Set the pre-read function to ON by pressing the F key and F11 key (PREAD A) or F12 key

(PREAD V) together.

(2) Perform the connections for pre-read editing as shown in the figure below. (3) Proceed with pre-read editing in the desired insert editing mode. (4) Restore the original connections upon completion of the editing. (5) Press the F11 or F12 key to set the pre-read function to OFF. (6) Check that there are no loop connections.

ONoteN

During pre-read operations, the SD SDI MONITOR and AUDIO MONITOR connectors function as monitoring connectors, and the input signals are output from the IN point to the OUT point in their original state. Further, the preread monitor function will not work when the monitor MIX function has been set to ON. To use the function, set MIX to OFF.

Description

Automatically compensates for the start initiated for the playback mode. For instance, when the VTR is set to the playback mode from the preroll point, it synchronizes its own phase to ensure that the tape arrives at the IN point after the preroll time has elapsed. (The function takes effect only when the front panel controls are used for operation.)

ON: Sync play function operates. OFF: Normal playback is assumed.

FIELD: Plays the tape field by field. FRAME1/ FRAME2°1: Plays back on a frame by frame basis at the j1a to

i1a speed and on a field by field basis at all other speeds. If the tape material image has a scene cutoff when moving from No. 2 field to No. 1 field, as when editing with the No. 1 field as cutoff, use FRAME 1. Use Frame 2 when the No. 2 field is the scene cutoff.

4F FORCE (8F FORCE: 1080/23p, 1080/24p, 1080/50i, 576/50i):

Assumes color frame forced lock mode. If there is any discontinuity in the color frame during playback, the unit preserves the field sequence at initial lock. 2F: Assumes frame lock mode. ≥The capstan servo lock mode can be set in AUTO (or

MANUAL) EDIT SET UP menu. If the two settings differ, priority is given to the final mode setting.
