5 SD SDI OUT connector This is the down-conversion output connector for the digital component audio and video signals complying with the SMPTE 259M-C or 272M-A standard. 10 Parts and Their Functions Rear panel 6 VIDEO OUT (1, 2) connectors These are the down-conversion output connectors for the analog composite video signals. Video signals with embedded superimposed text can be output from the VIDEO OUT2 connector. Superimposed text embedding can be selected using setup menu item No.005. 7 TC IN connector This is used for recording the external time code onto the tape. 8 TC OUT connector During playback, the playback time code is output from this connector; during recording, the time code generated by the internal time code generator is output. 9 HD/SD REF VIDEO IN connectors and 75 . termination switch These are the input connectors for the HD/SD reference video signals. For termination, set the switch to ON. OInput a tri-level sync signal with both positive and negative polarities when using these connectors for the HD reference. Input a signal that matches the input signals or tape format. OInput a composite video signal complying with RS-170A or a black burst signal when using these connectors for the SD reference. : AUDIO IN connectors (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) These are the input connectors for the analog audio signals. ; AUDIO OUT/MONITOR connectors (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) These are the output connectors for the analog audio signals. The CH3 and CH4 connectors are also used as the audio monitor output connectors (left channel, right channel). (See page 7) < HD SDI IN, OUT connectors These are the input and output connectors of the digital component audio and video signals complying with the SMPTE 292M, 296M or 299M standard. = REMOTE CONTROL connector An external remote controller (AJ-A95, optional accessory) can be connected here to enable the VTR to be operated by remote control. OSet the LOCAL/MENU/REMOTE switch to the REMOTE position. OThis connector complies with the RS-422A interface standard but the functions related to editing do not work. 1 6 95 Pin No. Signal 1 Frame Ground 2 Transmit A 3 Receive B 4 Receive Common 5 ———— 6 Transmit Common 7 Transmit B 8 Receive A 9 Frame Ground > Fan motor This is for cooling the VTR. ? Grip Grips are provided on the side. These grips notwithstanding, the VTR should be installed on a level surface when it is to be operated. 11 Operation Turning on the power and STOP mode inserting the cassette Before operating the VTR, check that the equipment has been connected correctly. The VTR must be installed on a level surface for operation. 1 Turn on the power. 2 Insert the cassette tape. Insert the tape into its prescribed position without forcing it into place. 3 Check that the STOP lamp has lighted. When the tape is inserted, the cylinder starts rotating automatically, the tape is loaded, and the VTR is set to the STOP mode. 12 L-cassette ONLY POWER ON OFF AUDIO SELECT AUDIO OUT SEL INPUT ANALOG PULL FOR VAR CH3-4 720 P CH1·2 CH3·4 CH 1 REC CH 2 CH 3 CH 4 CH1 ST CH2 METER TAPEPAUSE/STILLSEARCHFFSTOPREW PLAY REC EJECT LOCAL OFF ON REC INHIBIT REMOTE MENU COUNTER RESET EESETs DATA rMODEDOWN MENU UPPAGE 3 When “ON” has been selected as the setup menu item No.104 setting, the STOP button will flash if the reference video signal is not input. 1 Press the STOP button to set the VTR to the STOP mode. The STOP button lights, and the tape stops traveling. OWhen the time set by setup menu item No.400 (STILL TIMER) has elapsed, the tape protection mode is established in order to protect the tape. When the STOP, REW, FF or PLAY button is pressed, the VTR is set to the corresponding mode. The cumulative standby time in the same places on the tape lengthens when the same parts of the same tape are used repeatedly. To protect the tape, make the standby time in the same place as short as possible.

Selecting the input audio signals 1) Connect the signals which are to be recorded. 2) Select the audio input signals using setup menu item No.700. For video signals, only HD SDI signals can be input. 2. Adjusting the analog audio level Adjust the level of the audio input signals when analog audio signals have been selected as the audio input signals. The audio signals are recorded at the appropriate level while the audio recording level controls remain pushed in. The recording level cannot be adjusted when HD SDI signals ha...
