Menu Organization
As shown in the following figure, the menu system
consists of four levels and is functionally divided into three
subsystems: the setup menu, the auto mode (AUTO
FUNCTION) execution menu and the digital hours meter
display menu.
This chapter mainly describes the setup menu, showing its
contents and how to operate it.
For details of the AUTO FUNCTION menu, see “Digitally
Dubbing Signals in DVCAM/DV Format” on page 52 and
“Rerecording the Time Code—TC Insert Function” on
page 48.
For details of the digital hours meter display, see “Regular
Checks” on page 95.
The items of the setup menu are divided into several
functional groups on level 1, and except for the MENU
GRADE item the settings themselves are made on level 2
or level 3.
Also, the menu items are divided into two categories
according to how frequently they are accessed: the “basic”
items, to which frequent access is normally required, and
the “enhanced” items, which are less frequently used. In
the following figure, the items shown in boldface are basic
items, and the other items are enhanced items.
The menu settings are saved in non-volatile memory,
which means they are not erased when you power off the
unit after executing the setting operation.
