Recording With an External VTR Instead of the Internal VTR
Controlling the external VTR with the unit’s switches
Setting the 26P CONTROL function as indicated below at the FUNCTION 3/5 page of the set-
ting menu prevents the internal VTR from being operated and enables only the external VTR to
be controlled by the VTR START button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens.
Á 26P CONTROL: ON
Á See “Selecting Functions” (page 63) for a description of FUNCTION 3/5 page operations.
Switching from the internal VTR to the external VTR
If the internal VTR experiences problems (tapes becoming tangled, condensation, etc.) during
operation and becomes unable to operate, the VTR START button of the unit and the VTR but-
ton of the lens will not function. In these cases, setting the 26P CONTROL function as noted
above at the FUNCTION 3/5 page allows the external VTR to be operated in place of the inter-
nal VTR using the VTR START button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens.
Starting recording
Operate the external VTR to set it to recording paused status and press the VTR START button
of the unit or the VTR button of the lens. The external VTR starts recording. Pressing the button
again sets the VTR to the recording paused status.

When the unit is shipped from the factory, the audio level is set to

component video level is set to Sony level (see page 90). The audio level can be set to
p
20 dBu unbalanced and the component video level to MII level with an internal switch. Consult
