Settings for Recording
Preparation on the recorder (this unit)
Notes
• Before recording, set the date and time on the unit so
that the recording time can be written into the search
signal. You can set the date and time by setting
[CLOCK SET] on the [OTHERS] menu. (p. 52)
• Editing may not be possible with a signal that is
copyright protected.
• During a recording, the tape transport control buttons
(except STOP and PAUSE) are disabled to prevent
the tape running mode from being changed by an
incorrect operation.
1
Turn the power on the monitor, then set the
monitor’s input according to the input signals.
2
Set up the player to play back a tape.
For details, refer to the instruction manual of the
player.
3
When the player is connected to the IN jacks on
this unit, set [50i/60i SEL] on the [OTHERS]
menu according to the input signals.
When you input 60i system signals, set [50i/60i
SEL] to 60i. When you input 50i system signals,
set [50i/60i SEL] to 50i. (p. 53)
Notes
• Do not change [50i/60i SEL] setting during
recording.
• If the color system of the input signals is different
from that of the [50i/60i SEL] setting, picture will be
blanked.
• When the signals are input through the i.LINK
interface, the unit detects the color system of the
input signal automatically. You do not need to
change the [50i/60i SEL] setting. When the [50i/60i
SEL] is set to 50i, however, the time code generated
by the unit while recording in DVCAM format
changes to the non-drop frame mode. Even if a 60i
system signal is input to the i.LINK jack, the time
code generated by the unit is the non-drop frame
mode regardless of the [TC FORMAT] setting on the
[TC/UB SET] menu. If you intend to set the unit to
generate the time code in the drop frame mode, set
[50i/60i SEL] to 60i.
