10-3 Error Messages
This unit is equipped with a self-diagnosis function. If a
problem is detected, it displays an error message in the
time data display and on the video monitor.
If an error message appears, contact your Sony service
representative.
Indications in the time data display
If a problem is detected, the ALARM indicator in the
lower control panel lights, and an error message and error
code appear in the time data display area.
Indications on the external monitor
The error message and code also appear superimposed on
a monitor connected to the COMPOSITE VIDEO
OUTPUT 3 (SUPER) connector, HDSDI OUTPUT 3
(SUPER) connector or SDI OUTPUT 3 (SUPER)
connector. Depending on the error code, a secondary error
message may appear indicating the location of the
problem.
Error message displays
To display error messages and codes superimposed on
the video monitor, it is necessary to set F5 (CHARA) in
function menu page P04: MISC-1 to “ON”.
Some error messages have no associated error codes. In
this case, they appear in the entire area of the time data
display.
Error messages with error codes are saved in NV-RAM
(non-volatile memory) as an error log.
In some cases the error message superimposed on the
external monitor is slightly different from the message
displayed in the time data display.
