Preparation on the recorder (this unit)
Notes
•Before recording, set the date and time on the unit so
that the recording time can be written into the search
signal. You can set the date and time by setting
CLOCK SET on the OTHERS menu.
For details on the OTHERS menu, see “OTHERS menu”
on page 67 (GB).
• Editing may not be possible with a signal that is
copyright protected.
•During a recording, the tape transport control buttons
(except STOP and PAUSE) are disabled to prevent
the tape running mode from being changed by an
incorrect operation. To disable the STOP and PAUSE
buttons, set the KEY INH switch to ON after the unit
starts recording. In this case, set the KEY INH switch
to OFF first, then stop or pause the recording.
1 Power on the video monitor, then set the monitor’s
input according to the input signals.
2 Set up the player to play back a tape.
For details, refer to the instruction manual of the
player.
3 When the player is connected to the INPUT jacks
on this unit, set the NTSC/PAL select switch on
this unit to the appropriate position according to
the input signals.
For NTSC formatted signals, set the switch to
NTSC and for PAL formatted signals, set it to
PAL.
For details on the NTSC/PAL select switch setting, see
“Rear Panel” on page 18 (GB).
Notes
•Do not change the NTSC/PAL select switch
setting during recording.
• If the color system of the input signals is different
from that of the switch setting, picture will be
blanked.
•When the signals are input to the DV jack, the
unit detects the color system of the input signal
automatically. However when the NTSC/PAL
select switch is set to PAL, the time code
generated by the unit while recording in DVCAM
format changes to the non-drop frame mode.
Even if an NTSC formatted signal is input to the
DV jack, the time code generated by the unit is
non-drop frame mode regardless of the TC
FORMAT setting on the TC/UB SET menu. If
you intend to set the unit to generate the time
code in the drop frame mode, set the switch to
NTSC.
