Observe the following precautions when this equipment is
used for editing system.
. The REF. VIDEO IN requires video signal which is in
conformity with the RS-170A (525/60).
. Adjust the sync phase of this equipment to the system
sync with [SYNC PHASE] control of the setup menu.
. Adjust the SCH phase of this equipment to the system
SCH with [SUB CARRIER] control of the setup menu.
. When this unit is connected to a switcher that does not
have the sync switching function, the SYNC/BURST
level adjustment is required.
4. AUDIO VARIABLE switch setting
PRESET : Sets both the REC and PB levels
to the normal level.
REC : Sets the REC audio level of the
channels respectively with the
CH-1/2/3/4 knobs.
PB : Sets the PB audio level of the
channels respectively with the
CH-1/2/3/4 knobs.

Link)
Circuit Protection Element
This unit is equipped with the positive characteristics
thermister(s) (power thermister) as the circuit protection
element. The positive characteristics thermister limits the
electric current flowing through the circuit as the internal
resistance increases when an exces-sive current flows or
when the ambient temperature increases.
If the positive characteristics thermister works, turn off the
main power of the unit and inspect the internal circuit of
this unit. After the cause of the fault is removed, turn on
the main power again. The unit works normally.
It takes about one minute to cool down the positive
characteristics thermister after the main power is turned off.

Fuse/IC Link
w
The fuse and IC link are essential parts for safe operation.
Replace the components with Sony parts whose part
numbers appear in the manual published by Sony. If the
components are replaced with any parts other than the
specified ones, this may cause a fire or electric shock.
This unit is equipped with Fuse(s) and IC link(s).
An excessive current flows due to abnormality inside the
equipment, the fuse and/or IC link blow. If they blow, turn
off the main power of the equipment, inspect inside of the
equipment, and remove the cause of excessive current.
After that, replace the fuse and/or IC link.
