Notes
• Switch positions 0 and 1 are not effective for the
DVW-250P (PAL).
• Switch positions B to F are not effective for the
DVW-250 (NTSC).
• Select lines for the VITC which are not occupied
by VITS (Vertical Interval Test Signal) or VIRS
(Vertical Interval Reference Signal).
• It is not possible to use line 11 (NTSC) or 8
(PAL) because these carry the reference
subcarrier signal.
2 Set the VITC REC switch to ON.
The VITC will be recorded on the tape with the
video signals. Note that LTC is always recorded.
