IEEE 1394 digital interface
Precautions for use
• Connect the interface with another device on a 1:1
basis.
• If the E-92 warning (1394 INITIAL ERROR) is
displayed, either re-connect the connecting cable or
turn the VTR’s power off and back on.
• The AV signals may be disrupted when the power of
the connected devices is turned on or off and when
the interface cable is connected or disconnected.
• When the input signals are switched or the mode is
transferred, it may take a few seconds for the system
to stabilize. Proceed with the recording operation only
after the system has stabilized.
• The following situation applies when recording is to
be performed by selecting the IEEE 1394 digital
interface input, and it applies with the signals which
are output by the IEEE 1394 digital interface.
- The audio level control knobs on the front panel do
not work.
- The settings in the 800 series of setup menu items
concerning the vertical blanking period are ignored.
- When playback signals other than regular 1x
speed playback signals have been input, no
guarantees are made for the pictures and sound
which will be recorded or for the EE-type pictures
and sound.
• The following situation applies when the video input
selection has been set as the IEEE 1394 digital
interface.
- The SDI signals, the analog video output signals
and time code output signals become irregular in
the E-E mode. Do not use these signals for
recording purposes. (The teletext signals and other
signals superimposed onto the video output signals
also become irregular.)
• During SLOW/STILL playback, unprocessed video
and audio signals are output as the IEEE 1394 digital
interface output. When these video and audio signals
are monitored using another device, they may differ
from the video and audio signals played back by this
unit.
Be absolutely sure not to defeat the
following safeguards when connecting the
IEEE 1394 cable.
(1) Ensure that the unit and all devices to be
connected are grounded (or connected to a
common ground).
If the equipment cannot be grounded, first turn off the
power of all the connected devices, and then
disconnect and re-connect the IEEE 1394 cable.
(2) When connecting the unit to a device
equipped with a 4-pin connector, connect the
unit’s connector (6-pin type) first.
(3) When making a connection to a PC equipped
with a 6-pin connector, connect the 1394
cable so that it mates properly with the 1394
connector. Bear in mind that if the plug is
inserted the wrong way round, the unit may
be damaged as a result.

Output data
format
The recording format for IEEE 1394 digital input data is
determined based on the table below.
1 If the audio of the input data is 32 kHz/4CH, CH1/CH2
and CH3/CH4 can be selected in setup menu No. 889
(DIF AUD IN).
For AJ-SD93P:
The format for IEEE 1394 digital output data is determined
based on the setup menu No. 881 (DIF TYPE) setting and
playback tape (mode).
For AJ-SD93E:
The format for IEEE 1394 digital output data is determined
based on the playback tape (mode).
