Recording/playback can be made using the PHU120R in the same manner as with SxS memory
cards if you connect the PHU connection cable of
the PHU-120R to an SxS memory card slot of the
camcorder.
To mount the hard disk unit on the
camcorder
By using the cold shoe kit (an auxiliary shoe, four
screws, and a bottom plate) supplied with the
camcorder, you can mount the hard disk unit on
the accessory fitting shoe of the camcorder.
Foreword / Using an External Hard Disk

shoe are not open.
If you secure the auxiliary shoe in the
direction opposite that shown in the above
figure with the slit open end forward, insert
the bottom plate from the direction opposite
to that shown in the figure.
3 Attach the shoe adapter (supplied with
the PHU-120R) to the hard disk unit,

Structure of the paint adjustment data
The non-volatile memory of the camcorder used
for storing paint adjustment data consists of two
regions as shown below: one is the “main data
block” that is used when a remote control unit is
not connected, and the other is the “remote
control data block” that is used when a remote
control unit is connected. Paint adjustment data is
automatically selected and output to the camera
section depending on whether or not a remote
control unit such as the RM-B150 is connected.
Function of the recording start/stop
buttons when the RM-B150/B750 is
connected
When the RM-B150/B750 is connected, you can
make a setting to determine which of the
recording start/stop buttons you will use. This
setting is made using MAINTENANCE >Camera
Config >RM Rec Start in the setup menu.

When a remote control unit is connected to the

settings on the remote control unit. Thus, the
settings of the paint data made with the remote
control unit can be retained even if the remote
control unit is removed. However, if the switch
position on the remote control unit differs from
the one on the camcorder, the switch position on
the camcorder takes precedence over that on the
remote control unit.
Also, it is possible to keep the settings that are in
effect before you connect the remote control unit.
In this case, you should set the control knob to the
relative value mode on the remote control unit.
For details, refer to the operation manual supplied
with the remote control unit.
