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 49 (GB).
• Editing is not possible with a tape that is copyright protected.
1
Power on the video monitor, then set the monitor’s input switch
according to the signals input from this unit.
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
12 (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, both picture and sound will be muted.
• You do not need to set the NTSC/PAL select switch when inputting
the signals to the DV IN/OUT connector. 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 turns to the non-drop frame mode.
Even if an NTSC formatted signal is input from the DV IN/OUT
connector, the time code generated by the unit is non-drop frame
mode regardless of the TC FORMAT setting on the OTHERS menu.
If you intend to set the unit to generate the time code in the drop
frame mode, set the switch to NTSC.
