Chapter 1 Overview
The DSR-1/1P is a dockable VCR that uses the
DVCAM™ digital recording format.
The DSR-1/1P can be combined with a DXC-D30/
D30P/D35/D35P digital video camera or a DXC-637/
537A/327B series analog video camera. When docked
with the DXC-D30/D30P/D35/D35P, the DSR-1/1P
functions as a DVCAM digital camcorder.
New Functions as HighPerformance Digital Recording
VCR
The DSR-1/1P uses the DVCAM recording format.
The internal signal processing is digitalized to provide
more stable output signals and higher reliability.
Compatible with consumer DV
A DV cassette recorded on a DV-format VCR can be
played back on the DSR-1/1P. (Cassettes recorded in
LP mode cannot be played back.)
Creation of clips
Using the ClipLink function, the camera operator can
create clips to be used during editing.
The images captured at the Mark IN points are
recorded in a compressed format onto the tape as
“Index Pictures”. In addition, editing point-related data
(scene number, time code for Mark IN/OUT points,
etc.) is recorded in the cassette memory.
ClipLink mode
To use the ClipLink function, select the menu setting
to set the DSR-1/1P into ClipLink mode. There is also
a ClipLink continue function that enables clips to be
continued even after a break in recording.
PCM digital audio
Recording/playback can be set to audio lock mode.
Selectable between two-channel recording (with a
sampling frequency of 48 kHz) mode or four-channel
recording (with a sampling frequency of 32 kHz) mode
(channels 1 and 2 only).
Chapter 1 Overview
DVCAM cassettes
The DSR-1/1P can use both standard-size and minisize DVCAM cassettes. According to cassette size, the
DSR-1/1P automatically correct reel position.
The maximum recording/playback times are 184
minutes for standard size cassettes and 40 minutes for
mini cassettes.
DVCAM cassettes include a cassette memory.
Information about the editing points (ClipLink™ log
data) that is specified while shooting is recorded into
this cassette memory.
ClipLink™ function
The ClipLink function links all stages from shooting to
editing. Once editing points have been set with this
function during shooting, they can be used to boost the
efficiency of editing work.
Equipped with audio output connectors
During recording or playback, audio output can be
monitored via a built-in speaker, a connected earphone
or via (two-channel) audio output connectors.
Color playback
Connect an external video monitor for color playback
(playback adaptor not required). The DSR-1/1P is
equipped with two video monitor connectors: one for
composite video output and the other for S-video
output.

Chapter 1 Overview
dock the DSR-1/1P with a DXC-D30/D30P/D35/D35P
digital video camera.
Freeze mix function
This function superimposes a freeze-frame from the
previous recorded scene to facilitate setting up the
same framework for a new scene.
Recording of camera setup data
SetupLog™ function
Settings at shooting are recorded onto the tape in real
time. This recorded data can then be used to reproduce
the same shooting conditions in subsequent shots. It
also makes it easier to identify the causes of problems
in previous shots.
Audio level adjustable from camera
You can use a knob on the camera’s front panel to
adjust the channel 1 audio recording level.
Standard Functions as a
Dockable VCR
The DSR-1/1P is equipped with all of the standard
functions of conventional dockable VCRs.
Back space editing
Press the VTR button on the camera or lens to link
recordings with ±0-frame accuracy. The recording
review function or edit search function can be used to
ensure continuous recording with the same accuracy
even after changing the tape position via playback/fast
forward/rewind or after removing the cassette.
SetupNavi™ function
The setup conditions selected using the camera setup
menu are recorded onto the tape along with setup file
settings. Using this function, the same settings can be
reproduced for each recording and the same setup can
be shared among several camcorders.
Edit search function
You can operate the search playback function in
forward or reverse (two search speeds are available)
right from the camera, without having to use the tape
transport buttons. This makes it easier to find a
recording start point when you restart shooting at any
point on the tape.
Time code display on viewfinder screen
during playback
The playback time code data can be superimposed on
the viewfinder screen.
Playback functions
Monochrome playback of recordings can be seen
through the camera’s viewfinder.
The recording review function automatically rewinds
and plays back the last few seconds of the recording.
Use this function to easily and quickly check
recordings.
Built-in time code generator/reader
The internal time code generator can record the time
code data that is required for high-precision editing.
Audio recording functions
In addition to using the camera’s built-in microphone,
sound can be recorded via a wireless microphone
system or an external audio system.

COUNTER: Shows the tape transport time in
HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes, and seconds).
TC: Shows the time code value.
U-BIT: Shows the user bit data in the time code.
5 TC (time code) mode switch 2
Sets the mode for advancing time code values when
the TC mode switch 1 6 has been set to PRESET.
F-RUN: The time code advances continuously
whether or not the DSR-1/1P is recording. Use this
setting to align the time code value with real time.
SET: Use this setting to set the time code or user bit
value.
R-RUN: The time code value advances only during
recording. Use this setting to have consecutive time
code values for consecutive recordings on the tape.
Chapter 1 Overview
For information about the display window, see “1 Display
window” in “Display Section” on page 11.
3 ADVANCE button
When setting time code and user bit values, or at menu
setting, press this button to increment the digit that has
been selected with the SHIFT button 4. In other case,
keep pressing this button to show the clip remaining
indication instead of time value. (Example:
D45
)
For time code and user bit settings, see pages 50 and 51.
On how to use the ADVANCE button for menu settings, see
Chapter 6 “Menu”.
CLIP
4 SHIFT button
When setting time code and user bit values, or at menu
setting, keep pressing this button to select a digit. The
selected digit will start blinking.
In other case, keep pressing this button to show the
date (when the DISPLAY switch 2 is set to U-BIT)
and time (when the DISPLAY switch 2 is set to TC)
instead of time value.
For time code and user bit settings, see pages 50 and 51.
On how to use the ADVANCE button for menu settings, see
Chapter 6 “Menu”.
Note for the DSR-1
There are two time code frame modes: drop-frame
(DF) mode and non drop-frame (NDF) mode. This
product is shipped with drop-frame mode selected.
For details on switching between drop-frame mode and non
drop-frame mode, see “Selecting Drop-frame (DF)/Nondrop frame (NDF) mode (for DSR-1) —Menu 204” on page
63.
For details on drop-frame mode and non drop-frame mode,
see “Drop-frame mode (for DSR-1 Only)” on page 52.
6 TC (time code) mode switch 1
Selects between resetting the time code value or
continuing from the time code value at the end of the
previous recording.
PRESET: This starts recording time code values on
the tape from the currently set value.
REGEN: This reads the tape’s current time code value
and sets the time code to record starting from that
value. This ensures that the tape’s time code will be
continuous, even if there is a break in recording.
The time code value is advanced in R-RUN mode
regardless of the setting on TC mode switch 2 5.
DATE/TIME: This synchronizes the time code to the
real time clock set in the VTR menu (see page 63).
In this case the time code of the DSR-1 is recorded
in DF (drop-frame mode).
Note
If the ClipLink function is set to on (meaning ClipLink
shooting is allowed) in menu 211 and
CONT is
displayed in the display window, regardless of the
setting of this switch, the time code generator
automatically enters the REGEN mode at recording.
(The ClipLink function is factory-set to on.)
When you will not perform ClipLink shooting, set the
ClipLink function to oFF (see page 67).

Inserting and Replacing the Lithium Battery
The DSR-1/1P uses a lithium battery to retain stored data. When using the
DSR-1/1P for the first time, be sure to insert the supplied lithium
battery (CR2032). The DSR-1/1P will not operate correctly without this
lithium battery.
Lifetime of the lithium battery
When the lithium battery’s voltage falls, the lithium backup battery
warning
the lithium battery (CR2032) within three or four days.
The lithium battery has an average service life of about two years, however
operation in ClipLink mode will shorten the lifetime until about one year.
Inserting or replacing the lithium battery
Notes
•Carefully read the instructions for inserting and replacing the lithium
battery. Lithium batteries may explode if misused.
•Use only CR2032 Lithium Batteries. Other types of lithium batteries may
come loose when the camcorder is moved. If you have difficulty finding
