ECC (Error Correcting Codes): Monitor the input

mode). The RF envelope is monitored during
recording, and if a fault occurs a warning

connector form the video input to the unit. When item
"CAMERA" in the <VIDEO 1> menu is set to
"AUTO" (see page 6-3), it is possible to input either
analog component video signals or Dl format serial
digital video and audio signals, depending on the type
of camera connected.
