The image on the
monitor screen is too
bright. The 75 Ω termination switch for video
input on the monitor is in the OFF
position, or a 75
Ω terminator is not
fitted to its video input connector.
Set the 75 Ω termination switch to ON or connect a
terminator.
The image on the
monitor screen is too
dark. In a video signal loop-through
connection of video monitors, 75
Ω
termination switches for video input on
monitors other than the loop-end
monitor are in the ON position.
Set the 75 Ω termination switches to OFF on all monitors
other than the loop-end monitor.
The image is too dark
when recording a
composite video
signal.

Symptom Cause Remedy
The AUDIO INPUT
LEVEL control knobs
do not work. The REC LEVEL menu item is set to
PRESET. Set the REC LEVEL menu item (see page 70) to VARIABLE.
Note
To be able to perform this operation, it is necessary to set the
MENU GRADE menu item
(see page 73) to ENHANCED.
i.LINK interface problems
Symptom Cause Remedy
This unit cannot be
recognized or
controlled by computer
via i.LINK interface. Performance of i.LINK interface is not
guaranteed with all IEEE 1394 devices.
It is only guaranteed as a tape dubbing
facility between VTRs. • Check the computer for connections and setup.
• Contact your computer hardware/software manufacturer to
check system requirements and product compatibility.
Editing restriction
Symptom Cause
Execution of video
editing in insert mode
erases subcode data
(user bit data, etc.)
recorded on tape other
than time code data. This phenomenon cannot be avoided with an editing system using this unit as the recorder.
