2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

5. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.

6. Flexible Circuit Board Repairing

• Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 ˚C during repairing.

• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the circuit board (within 3 times).

• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or unsoldering.

Features

Chapter

1 Overview

Features

The DSR-11 is a 1/4-inch digital video cassette recorder that uses the DVCAM system achieves stable, superb picture quality by digitally processing video signals that are separated into color difference signals and luminance signals (component video). With a compact, lightweight and space-saving case, the unit can be installed vertically and is equipped with an analog interface as well as a digital interface enabling connection to a digital device such as a computer.

The DSR-11’s main features are described below.

DVCAM Format

DVCAM is based on the consumer DV format, which uses the 4:1:1 component digital format (NTSC) or the 4:2:0 format (PAL), and provides a recording format for professional use.

High picture quality, high stability

Video signals are separated into color difference signals and luminance signals, which are encoded and compressed to one-fifth size before being recorded to ensure stable and superb picture quality. Because the recording is digital, multi-generation digital dubbing can be performed with virtually no deterioration of quality.

digital recording format. This

/4-inch digital

Overview

Wide track pitch

The recording track pitch is 15 µm, fully 50 percent wider than the DV format’s 10-µm track pitch. Thanks to this feature, the DVCAM format sufficiently meets the reliability and precision requirements of professional editing.

High-quality PCM digital audio

PCM recording makes for a wide dynamic range and a high signal-to-noise ratio, thereby enhancing sound quality. There are two recording modes: 2-channel mode (48kHz sampling and 16-bit linear code), which offers sound quality equivalent to the DAT (Digital Audio Tape) format, or 4-channel mode (32-kHz sampling and 12-bit nonlinear code).

DV format compatibility

A DV cassette recorded on a DV-format VCR can be played back on the unit (SP mode only). The unit can also record in DV format (SP mode only). (Recording/ playing back an image in LP mode is not available.)

SECTION 1

GENERAL

Chapter

This section is extracted from DSR-11 instruction manual.

NTSC/PAL systems compatible

The unit is compatible with NTSC and PAL systems. When inputting the signals to the DV IN/OUT connector or playing back a tape, the color system of signals is detected automatically. The color system select switch on the unit allows input of analog video signals in either color system. This compatibility allows you to record (download) or play back (upload) both NTSC and PAL formatted signals with your VCR, computer, or other equipment. However, the unit cannot convert the color system of the signals.

Choice of two cassette sizes

The unit can use both standard-size and mini-size DVCAM or DV cassettes.

•According to cassette size, the position of the reel drive plate changes automatically.

•The maximum recording/playback times are 184 minutes for standard size cassettes and 40 minutes for mini-size cassettes (DVCAM format).

Remote control

The unit can be operated by remote control from a CONTROL-S system remote control unit, the DSRM20 (not supplied).

High-speed search function

When you use an editing controller or the optional remote control unit (DSRM-20), the unit has a picture search function that allows you to view color picture at playback speeds up to 14 times (NTSC) or up to 17 times (PAL) normal speed in forward and reverse directions. You can also search frame-by-frame in jog mode. You can also hear playback audio.

•When the unit is in the EE mode (when the input signal is output as an analog signal), the subcarrier of the color signal is not synchronized with the horizontal sync signal. The color of the picture or the horizontal sync signal may be distorted depending on the type of monitor connected to the unit.

7 NTSC/PAL select switch

Used to switch the color system of signals that will be recorded on the unit when you use analog input. To change the switch setting, turn off the power of the unit first, then use the tip of a ball-point pen or similar tool to slide this switch. Before inputting NTSC or PAL formatted analog video signals, set this switch to appropriate position according to the color system of it.

Notes

•If the color system of the input signals is different from that of the switch setting, both picture and sound will be muted.

•When inputting signals to the DV IN/OUT connector or during playback, this switch setting is invalid. The unit detects the color system of the signals automatically.

(GB) Chapter 1 Overview

•When the switch is set to PAL, the unit works as a PAL model. Therefore the time code generated by the unit while recording in the DVCAM format turns to the non-drop frame mode. Even if an NTSC formatted signal is input from the DV IN/OUT connector, the time code generated by the unit is nondrop frame mode as long as the switch is set to PAL, regardless of the TC FORMAT setting on the OTHERS menu. If you intend to set the unit to generate the time code in the drop frame mode, set the switch to NTSC.

•The color system of the signals output from the unit is the one recorded on the tape being played back. The unit cannot convert the color system of signals of one system into that of the other. (For example: converting NTSC formatted signals into PAL formatted signals is not possible) Therefore, to view or record the signal output from the unit, you need a device compatible with the color system of the signals output from the unit.

•When the color system of playback signals is different from the one last used on the unit, playback picture and sound will be distorted and time code will be discontinuous for a short time at the beginning of the playback.

•If you play back a tape with both NTSC and PAL color system recordings, the following limitations apply. – At the point where the recorded signals format

changes, the picture may be distorted or the audio noise may be output.

– The tape transport control buttons may be disabled

until the tape running is stabilized.

•Do not change the switch setting during recording.

Searching without cassette memory

When you use a tape without cassette memory, the unit searches in the order of the actual positions of the recordings, regardless of the setting of CM SEARCH on the CM SET menu. When you use a tape with cassette memory, set CM SEARCH on the CM SET menu to OFF.

For details on the CM SET menu, see “CM SET menu” on page 46 (GB).

Note

The title search is not available in searching without cassette memory.

Press the SEARCH SELECT button on the Remote Commander to select the search type.

When selecting INDEX SEARCH

INDEX 00

Press the . or > button repeatedly to locate the recording you want.

Each time you press the . or > button, the unit searches for the previous or next search point. When an search point is located, its number is indicated on the monitor screen. The unit starts searching backwards or forwards until the number comes to zero, then plays back the recording. During Photo search, the unit turns to the playback pause mode.

How signals are recorded

There are four different signal types, one for each search method; index, title, date and photo signals. They are recorded by the digital camcorder (DSR-200/200P, 200A/200AP, PD100/PD100P, PD100A/PD100AP, PD150/PD150P, 250/250P, etc.). However, the type of signal recorded and where it is recorded (on the tape or in the cassette memory) depends on whether the cassette has cassette memory or which type of video equipment is used for recording. Please note that if the signals for a certain search type are not recorded, you cannot do that type of search. For details on the signals used for a particular type of search, refer to the instruction manual of the recorder.

When you record on this unit

•You cannot add search signals after recording. To add signals only for Auto Repeat, start recording from the point you want to add them.

•When recording on this unit, signals for index search do not have information on the day of the week.

•Searching may not be done correctly if the signals were not recorded on a piece of Sony-brand digital video equipment.

About the cassette memory

•A tape with cassette memory, you can store up to 135 search signals. (The number changes depending on the memory capacity of various tapes. It also changes depending on the data size combination of index, title, date, photo, and tape label data stored on a tape.) This unit is capable of storing and retrieving up to 16 kbits of information in cassette memory.

•To locate recordings that did not fit in the cassette memory, or to locate recordings in order of their position on the tape, set CM SEARCH on the CM SET menu to OFF. You can use the same procedure to search for a recording on a tape without cassette memory.

For details on the CM SET menu, see “CM SET menu” on page 46 (GB).

Note

The number of search signals that you can record is limited by the cassette memory space available when you start recording. When you use a previously recorded tape for repeated recordings, make more memory space available by erasing unwanted items using ITEM ERASE or ERASE ALL on the CM SET menu before you start recording.

DVCAM : Records in DVCAM format. DV SP: Records in DV format (SP mode).

Notes

• This unit is not compatible with playing or recording in LP mode of the consumer DV format.

• You cannot change the setting while recording.

• It is recommended that you record in the DVCAM format. There are some limitations with

respect to DV recording depending on machine specifications and the consumer DV format as follows: – The head system is optimized for DVCAM recording. A DV recording overwrites the last

track just before the beginning of the recording. As a result, at the border of these two recorded portions, picture and sound may be distorted.

– The sound will be recorded unsynchronized. (unlock mode) – The time code is fixed to the drop frame mode. (only for NTSC) – The DV IN TC setting on the OTHERS menu turns invalid. The unit records internal time

code.

• If you dub a consumer DV tape from the DV IN/OUT connector on this unit, keep the following in mind: – Set the REC MODE to DV SP. If the REC MODE has been set to DVCAM, a tape with

an invalid format (recording speed: DVCAM, sound: unsynchronized, unlock mode) will be made. (The unit cannot convert unlock mode sound to lock mode sound.)

– If you edit a tape with an invalid format in the DSR-70/70P, DSR-80/80P, DSR-85/85P,

DSR-2000/2000P, etc., there may be some restrictions.

Selects whether to record internal time code or external time code while the unit records the

DV IN TC

signals input from the DV IN/OUT connector in DVCAM format.

INTERNAL : Records the time code generated by the internal time code generator. (If no

time code is recorded on the tape, the unit records time code from 00:00:00:00. If there is time code already recorded on the tape, the unit records continuous time code from this point.)

EXTERNAL: Records the time code with video and audio signals input from the DV IN/

OUT connector.

Notes

• When you set the REC MODE on the VTR SET menu to DV SP, this item cannot be used. Even if it is once set to EXTERNAL, the setting turns invalid and the unit records the internal time code when you set REC MODE on the VTR SET menu to DV SP.

• When this item is set to EXTERNAL, the INPUT SELECT selector on the front panel is set to DV, and no signal is input from the DV IN/OUT connector, if you start recording, bars (— :—:—:—) are recorded as time code. At the point that inputting of a signal begins, the time code of that signal will be recorded.

• If you set this item to EXTERNAL and the external time code input is discontinuous or does not advance correctly, recording or displaying the time code on this unit may not be done correctly. If there is a discontinuous time code on your recorded tape, you may not

AUTO : Automatically sets the frame mode in accordance with the inserted cassette. (If

nothing is recorded on the tape, the mode is set to the non-drop frame mode. If the unit cannot read the frame mode correctly in the tape, the unit will use the frame mode that was set in the last position it was able to read correctly on the tape. If you turn the power on/off or remove the tape, the mode of the last position it was able to read correctly is cleared and the mode is set to the non-drop frame mode.)

DF: Selects the drop frame mode. NDF: Selects the non-drop frame mode.

Notes

• When the NTSC/PAL select switch is set to PAL, the unit works as a PAL model. Therefore while recording in the DVCAM format, the time code generated by the unit turns to the non-drop frame mode. Even if an NTSC formatted signal is input from the DV IN/ OUT connector, the time code generated by the unit is non-drop frame mode as long as the switch is set to PAL, regardless of this item setting. If you intend to set the unit to generate the time code in the drop frame mode, set the NTSC/PAL select switch to NTSC.

• Regardless of this setting, the frame mode is set to drop frame when you record in DV format (Only for NTSC).

(GB) Chapter 4 Maintenance

To prevent electromagnetic interference caused by radio communication equipment such as cellular phones, transceivers, etc.

The use of the radio communication equipment such as cellular phones or transceivers near the unit may cause a malfunction and can affect the audio/video signals. The cellular phones or transceivers near the unit should be switched off.

Do not use the unit in an area exposed to radiation

A malfunction may occur.

Checking the video heads every 1000 hours

A VCR is a high-precision piece of equipment that records and plays back the picture on a magnetic tape. In particular, the video heads and other mechanical parts become dirty or worn. To maintain a clean picture, we recommend maintenance every 1000 hours, though the conditions of use may differ depending on temperature, humidity, dust, etc.

Cleaning of the video heads

If the video heads are contaminated, the pictures cannot be recorded properly or the playback pictures become noisy. If the following phenomena occur, use the cleaning cassette (supplied) to clean the heads.

•Square-shaped noise appears on the playback picture.

•A part of the playback picture does not move.

•The playback picture does not appear on the screen.

Symptoms caused by contaminated video heads

Normal picture

To use the cleaning cassette

Refer to your cleaning cassette’s operating instructions.

After prolonged use, the video heads may become worn out. If optimum picture quality is not restored even after you have cleaned the video heads with the cleaning cassette, the video heads may have worn out. In that case, you have to replace the video heads with new ones. Please consult your Sony dealer.

If these images appear on the screen, use the cleaning cassette.

Notes on the video cassettes

If the cassette memory function does not work

Reinsert the cassette a few times. The terminal portion of the cassette may be dusty or dirty.

Cleaning the terminal

If the terminal of the cassette gets dirty, or dust sticks to the terminal, the unit may not work correctly. Clean the terminal with a swab once every ten times you eject a cassette.

Terminal

When affixing a label on the cassette

Be sure to affix a label only on the correct location so as not to cause malfunction of the unit.

After using a cassette

After use, please be sure to rewind the tape completely (to prevent picture and sound distortion). Return it to its case and store it in an upright position.

About moisture condensation

If the unit or tape is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside or outside the unit or tape. If you use the tape or video heads in this condition, the tape may adhere to the head drum, and the video heads or the tape may be damaged, or a malfunction may occur.

Moisture condensation is likely to occur under the following conditions:

•The unit or tape is brought from the cold outdoors to a warm indoor location.

•The unit or tape is brought from the air-conditioned indoors to the hot outdoors.

•The unit is used in a place subject to cold currents from an air conditioner.

When bringing the unit or tape from a cold place to a warm place or vice versa, put it in a plastic bag and seal the bag tightly. After bringing it into the new place, leave the bag on for more than one hour, and remove the bag when the air temperature inside it has reached the temperature surrounding it.

If moisture condensation occurred

You cannot operate the unit except to press the EJECT button, and the cassette cannot be inserted. If this occurs, turn on the power to remove the cassette, then keep opening the cassette lid, and finally wait more than one hour for the moisture to evaporate.

Digital hours meter

The digital hours meter keeps cumulative counts of the total operation time, the head drum rotation time, the tape running time and the number of unthreading operations. These counts can be displayed on the monitor screen. Use them as guidelines for scheduling maintenance. In general, consult your Sony dealer about necessary periodic maintenance checks.

The digital hours meter has the following four display modes and you can check them in HRS METER of the OTHERS menu (See page 49 (GB)).

•OPERATION mode

The cumulative total hours of operating time is displayed in 10-hour increments.

•DRUM ROTATION mode

The cumulative total hours of drum rotation with tape threaded is displayed in 10-hour increments.

•TAPE RUN mode

The cumulative total hours of tape running time is displayed in 10-hour increments.

•THREADING mode

The cumulative number of tape unthreading operations is displayed in 10-operation increments.

Compatibility of DVCAM and DV Format

The DVCAM format was developed as a more reliable and higher end format than the consumer DV format. Here we explain the DVCAM and DV formats: the differences, compatibility and limitations on editing.

Differences between DVCAM and DV format

1) There are two modes for audio recording; Lock mode and Unlock mode. In Lock mode, the sampling frequencies of audio and video are synchronized. In Unlock mode, which the consumer DV format adopts, the two sampling frequencies are independent. The lock mode maintains high compatibility with the higher formats and is more effective than unlock mode in digital processing and smooth transition during audio editing.

2) This unit cannot record in DV format with 16 bit – 32 kHz or 44.1 kHz.

3) The user bits cannot be set on this unit.
