Notes
• When you play back an HDV-formatted tape with copyright protected signals, or input
HDV format with copyright protected signals, COMPONENT OUT jacks will output
pictures in either 480i or 576i format.
• Regardless of the playback tape or of the format input to HDV/DV jacks, the selectable
setting values displayed on this menu vary depending on the setting of [60i/50i SEL].
• WSS (Wide Screen Signaling) is not output, when the picture is output to COMPONENT
OUT jacks in 480p or 576p. Set the monitor according to the down convert format of the
picture, which is output from the unit.
• When you play back a tape in DVCAM or DV while an EE picture in NTSC/PAL is
displayed, the 480i resolution or the 576i resolution is output, regardless of the setting of
[COMPONENT] in [VIDEO OUT] in [IN/OUT REC] menu.

Notes
• When [DVCAM] is selected, there are some limitations described below.
– ATN (Absolute Track Number) outputs the value counted in DVCAM format during
playback at regular speed ( ×1) or recording of the internal color bars only. During
playback at irregular speeds other than described above, ATN outputs the value of a
tape recorded in HDV format.
– When the unit is playing back at regular speed ( ×1) while detecting a blank portion on
the tape, the unit counts the blank portion as ATN formatted in DVCAM.
– When using the duplicating function that is equipped with a device such as the DSR-25/
45/50, select [DVCAM].
– Please note that a duplicated tape and the source tape recorded in HDV format with
[DVCAM] selected do not share the same ATN (Time code value is displayed correctly).
• When you change the video format setting of [DOWN CONVERT] of [i.LINK SET] in [IN/
OUT REC] menu, the video signal output from COMPONENT OUT jacks, S VIDEO jack,
or VIDEO OUT jack may be distorted for a moment.
• Before changing your setting, be sure to disconnect the i.LINK cable. If you change the
setting while i.LINK is connected, the video device may not recognize the new setting.
