SERVO NOT LOCKED
This is displayed when the servo is not locked for 3 or more
seconds during playback, recording or editing.
VTR: Operation continues.
• Check the tape. A tape recorded using a system which
does not allow playback may have been inserted.
HIGH ERROR RATE
This is displayed when the error rate increases and
correction or interpolation is performed for either the video
or audio signals.
VTR: Operation continues.
• Clean the video heads.
LOW RF
This is displayed when a state in which the envelope level
has dropped to less than one-third of its normal level has
been detected for 1 or more seconds or when a state in
which the CTL signal level has dropped to less than one-
sixth of its normal level has been detected for 1 or more
seconds during playback, recording or editing.
• The CTL signal level is not detected during DV or
DVCAM playback.
• During recording or editing, the envelope level of only the
video simultaneous play heads is detected.
VTR: Operation continues.
• Clean the video heads and A/C head.
INVALID TC MODE (in 23/24 Hz or 25 Hz (HD or SD)
mode)
This is displayed during playback if the time code has been
recorded in the drop frame mode. The video output is
disturbed and the audio output is muted at the time code
drop point.
VTR: Operation continues.
• Check the tape. If a tape recorded using a variable frame
rate camera is to be played back in this VTR, the time
code must be recorded in the non-drop frame mode.

SD) mode)
This is displayed during playback if the correlation between
the active frame information and time code is irregular. The
video output may not be uniform (the movements may not
be smooth).
VTR: Operation continues.
• Check the tape. The active frame (first frame where the
frame video is switched) information is recorded on a
tape recorded using a variable frame rate camera. When
such a tape is played back on this VTR, the 0 frame of
the time code must be detected at the active frame
position.

or more seconds has been detected during playback.
When all of the following conditions have been met, it will be
recognized as a blank part.
• When no signals are output from any of the heads
• When the playback data cannot be read
• When the CTL signal is not present
VTR: Operation continues.
• Check the tape. An unrecorded tape may have been
inserted.

lamp goes off, the message display is cleared, and the
VTR is ready for operation again.
• When condensation is detected in the EJECT mode,
the drum starts rotating as soon as it is detected.
• When condensation is detected while a cassette is
inserted, the drum stops rotating and starts rotating
again after the tape has been ejected.
VTR: EJECT
• Wait with the power on.
