1 INTRODUCTION  
1-1 OUTLINE  
1-2 MAINTENANCE  
This manual consists of the following sections.  
The video cassette recorder/player incorporates precision components. Regular maintenance is necessary to  
maintain the performance level required for professional use. The information below will help you determine a  
maintenance schedule that will ensure optimum performance over a long period of time.  
Section 9 OTHER FUNCTIONS  
Section 1 INTRODUCTION  
This section describes the following special functions.  
• Setting the unit to record or play back information  
added to a video signal on an extra video line.  
• Simultaneous operation of more than one VCR  
• Cue-up function  
Read this section carefully as it describes the  
precautions to be taken when operating this unit  
and the type of cassette to be used.  
Maintenance  
Keeping track of operation (running) time  
The total operation time reached by an ordinary  
home VCR in five to six years may be reached by a  
professional VCR in as few as five to six months.  
Therefore, it is important to closely monitor the total  
operation time. You can check the running time on  
the provided hour meter (drum running time). The  
hour meter is shown on the counter display or on-  
screen display on the monitor.  
Just as regular oil changes, brake checks, and  
tune-ups are essential to keep your car running well  
over a long period, your VCR must be maintained  
regularly to ensure optimum long-term  
performance.

Section 3 CONNECTIONS  
This section describes basic connections between  
the BR-D95U and other units.

Hour meter indication  
Repeated warnings (stopping the operation).  
These malfunctions are mostly due to wear or  
deterioration of the VCR's internal components.

Moreover, a sudden malfunction can not only lead  
to downtime and lost productivity, but can also  
damage the video cassette.  
The hour meter can be displayed by selecting  
“DRUM HOUR” on the menu switch setting screen.  
For details, refer to “Hour meter indication” on page  
39.

1 INTRODUCTION  
1-3 PRECAUTIONS  
1-4 VIDEO CASSETTE  
The BR-D95U incorporates highly sophisticated and complex technology. To ensure proper operation, be sure to  
take the following precautions.  
Only cassettes bearing the “  
used with this VCR.  
” logo can be  
Cassettes bearing the “  
are provided with a safety slide to prevent  
accidental erasure.  
” logo on the back  
Cassettes bearing the S-VHS or VHS logo cannot be  
used with this unit. If an S-VHS or VHS cassette is  
inserted, it will be automatically ejected.  
Video cassettes cannot be used upside down.  
Leaving the tape in a partially wound condition for a  
long time may damage the tape. Rewind the tape  
to the beginning before storage.  
Tape performance cannot be maintained if a  
cassette is used repeatedly. The more a tape is  
used, the more dropouts occur. Do not use dirty  
tapes or tapes which have been damaged as doing  
so may shorten the service life of the rotary heads.  
Transportation  
Condensation  
Move the slide to OFF to prevent erasure.  
Move the slide to ON to allow recording.  
Always hold this unit by the side panels when  
carrying or moving it. If you hold it by the front panel,  
the tilt panel may open and you could drop the unit.  
Do not use this unit immediately after moving it  
from a cold place to a warm place or after switching  
on a heater in a cold room. This will cause water  
vapor to condense on the video head drum and  
tape guides and may damage the tape and the  
VCR.  
Slide  
Installation and storage  
Avoid using the unit in places subject to the follow-  
Head drum  
ing conditions:  
extreme heat or cold  
strong magnetic field  
high humidity  
dust and soil  
vibrations  
Video tape  
Not recordable  
Recordable  
Handle the unit carefully  
When condensation occurs, the warning message  
“02 1” is shown on the tape counter display. The  
cassette is automatically ejected (see page 145).  
The head drum then rotates automatically to dry  
itself. Leave the VCR in this state with the power  
on. Once the warning message “02 1” has turned  
off, operation can be resumed.  
Do not block the ventilation openings, or place  
anything heavy on the unit. Do not put any foreign  
materials into the cassette loading slot.  
Use the unit in a horizontal (flat) position only.  
Avoid violent shocks to the recording chassis  
during transportation. Remove the cassette tape  
from the unit prior to transportation.  
Avoid leaving tapes in the Still or Record Pause  
mode for a long time as this may damage the tape.  
When not using the unit, set the [POWER] switch to  
“OFF” to avoid unnecessary power consumption.  
Do not stand or sit on the unit. This will damage the  
unit and may cause it to fall, resulting in injury.  
Do not install the BR-D95U in a location where it  
exposed to radiation, x-rays or corrosive gases.

Variable Motion  
Repeated recording and playback leads to accumulation of dust and other particles on the video and audio heads.  
Excessive accumulation will adversely affect the picture or sound quality. If head cleaning is not performed  
periodically, a type of mosaic noise called block noise may appear in the picture or the sound may be interrupted.  
Be sure to clean the tape transport system with a dedicated head cleaning tape (optionally available  
DCL-5) once every 20 hours.

Digital signal synchronization  
Install the optional SA-D95U digital interface board to  
input signals to this connector.  
MUTING/CONDITION ALARM display  
The input digital signal must be synchronized with the  
video signals. To do this, input sync signals to the  
digital signal output unit and the [REF] connector of  
this unit.  
The “MUTING” or “CONDITION ALARM” can be shown on screen to make it easy to check VCR operating status  
on the monitor connected to the [LINE 2- SUPER OUT] connector.  
[AUDIO IN]  
Set the audio input reference level with menu  
switches No. 224 to 227 <AUDIO IN LEVEL>.  
To display MUTING/CONDITION ALARM on screen, set menu switch No. 512 <MUTING/ALARM MESSAGE>  
to “ON (1)”.  
This can also be displayed even when setting the [ON SCREEN] switch on the sub panel to OFF.

depending on the setting of the menu switch and the  
operation.  
This unit outputs black signals from the built-in  
signal generator via the <LINE 2 - SUPER OUT>  
connector.  
• In Record or EE mode:  
When no video signal is input or input signals do not  
contain a sync signal  
If video head output (error rate) is degraded during  
playback, the “CONDITION ALARM” is shown on  
screen.

When there are no recorded signals (no control signal  
recorded) on the tape being played back (With menu  
switch No. 120 <NO CTL MUTING> set to “ON”)  
When the input signal is a black signal or when a  
tape on which a black signal is recorded is played  
back, the monitor’s screen will be black.  
To differentiate between the types of black screen  
described above, “MUTING” appears on the screen  
when the black screen is due to black signals output  
from the built-in signal generator.  
To record the time code input from this connector, set  
the [INT/EXT] switch on the sub panel to “EXT” and

display.  
If you’re going to use the current menu switch setting again later, you can store it in the user memory area. Then,  
if the setting is changed, you can restore it simply by calling the stored user data.  
It is also possible to restore the initial factory settings.The menu switch setting can be saved in USER-1 SAVE,  
USER-2 SAVE or USER-3 SAVE .  
The Direct Access function can be turned on or off with 00B DIRECT ACCESS on the top menu display.

4-9 HOUR METER DATA DISPLAY  
Drum running hours can be displayed on the counter  
display and the on-screen display. Use this informa-  
tion as a guide to choosing the appropriate mainte-  
nance interval.  
Thanks to this function, it is not necessary to adjust the recording current each time the tape is changed.  
When a tape with a different optimum recording current is used, this function allows you to take advantage of this  
tape’s performance.  
If automatic adjustment is performed on a tape which has been used many times, its optimum recording current  
may be quite different from that of a new tape. In this case, perform automatic adjustment using the new tape.

• Turning part or all of the error correct circuit OFF allows you to compare noise  
levels and check the head service life. For comparison, play back a moving  
picture.  
For example, when switching between “NORMAL” and “NO CONCEAL” shows a  
big difference in picture quality, it indicates that the error conceal circuit works  
and that a major error has occurred. In this case, the heads may no longer be  
serviceable and should be replaced.

10 HOW TO USE TIME CODE  
10 HOW TO USE TIME CODE  
Time codes and user bits can be recorded and played back as time data.  
The time code area on the tape is divided into the main time code sector used for time data for editing and the sub  
time code sector which can be used for optional recording of time code.  
10-2 TIME CODE INITIAL SETTING (PRESET)  
The BR-D95U includes a built-in time code generator so that initial values can be set as desired for the time code  
and user bits.  
User bit data is stored in the built-in nonvolatile memory and retained even when the power is turned off. The  
stored data can be preferentially recorded on the tape for editing (UB auto preset function).

10-3 TIME CODE RECORDING  
10-4 TIME CODE PLAYBACK  
Recording the time code data output from the external time code generator  
Time code is output through the rear panel [TC OUT] and [VIDEO OUT] connectors during playback. VITC time  
code with the time code data superimposed on the video signal is output through the [VIDEO OUT-LINE] connector.  
Sub time code is output through the [VIDEO OUT-LINE] connector as VITC time code when menu switch No. 451  
<VITC OUT SELECT> is set to “SUB TC”. Only the main time code is output through the [TC OUT] connector.  
Externally generated time code can be recorded after being regenerated with the  
time code data output from the built-in time code generator.

With assemble editing, scenes are added one after  
the other in predetermined order. Video, audio, and  
control signals are recorded simultaneously. To  
ensure stable editing, CTL signals must be recorded  
prior to the first edit point for a period exceeding the  
preroll time (typically, about 30 seconds).  
Insert editing allows you to insert new audio or video  
material between existing scenes that have already  
been recorded. You can choose different video and  
audio and combine them for insertion.  
CTL signals must be recorded continuously in the  
section where the new material is being inserted.  
Before editing, record CTL signals for a period  
exceeding the editing time.

To record CTL signals, record a black picture from the built-in signal generator or connect a camera or a  
standard TV signal generator and record the output signals.  
Editing is not possible from the very beginning of the tape. The first edit-in point must be registered after the  
preroll section.  
Audio signals are not output when color bar signal from the built-in signal generator are inserted for editing  
(including preview). Do not select the audio channel for insertion of the color bar signal from the built-in  
signal generator. It may not be possible to insert the signal properly on the audio channel.  
Playback  
The color frame servo function can be set with the front sub panel’s CF switches  
and menu switches.  
Front sub panel switch setting  
• Set menu switch No. 008 <CAP LOCK (525)> or No. 008p <CAP LOCK (625)>  
to “SW SEL”.  
• Set the [CF] switch on the front sub panel to “ON”.  
For PAL, select the 4 or 8-field color frame servo with the [4/8] switch.  
When the [CF] switch is set to “OFF”, the frame servo is activated.  
Preroll time  
Program Playback speed can be varied between  
90% and 110%. The range is always the same  
even if an external controller or other unit is  
connected that sets the range outside this limit.  
It takes a few seconds for the tape to stabilize after  
tape running is started. To ensure that the tape is  
stable before it reaches the edit point, the tape  
must start running a few seconds before the edit-in  
point (prerolling).  
Select the preroll time from 0 to 15 seconds with  
the recorder’s menu switch No. 320 <PREROLL  
TIME>. Use the remote control setting only when  
executing editing via a remote controller.  
CTL counter values based on the TIMER-1  
PRESET command (44.00) from the editing  
controller can be preset only in the Non-drop Frame  
mode (NTSC).  
Menu switch setting  
• For NTSC, set menu switch No. 008 <CAP LOCK (525)> to “4FIELD”.  
• For PAL, set menu switch No. 008p <CAP LOCK (625)> to “4FIELD” or  
“8FIELD”.  
Cautions  
The displayed image may be distorted when the  
editing mode is preset from an editing controller  
during editing or the mode is switched between  
EE and PB. This is normal. It is not a  
malfunction. The distortions appear in the  
editing output image but are not recorded.  
The V. Fade function may not function correctly  
when a tape with edited audio is played back.  
This is normal. It is not a malfunction.  
Noise may be recorded if all insert modes are  
canceled during editing with any of editing mode  
select buttons. This is normal. It is not a  
malfunction.

Editing precision during color frame editing  
When the color frame servo function is used, the edit point may shift to  
maintain color frame continuity even though menu switch No. 393 <SYNC

Noise may be heard when editing is on or off in  
the Playback mode. This is normal. It is not a

Additional editing functions available with the BR-D95U include:  
• Last edit function  
• Variable-motion editing  
This function allows you to specify the audio edit IN point independently of the video edit IN point (in ordinary  
editing, audio and video signals have the same edit point). This enables independent insertion of audio and video.  
• Motion memory function  
Audio split editing is possible only in the Insert Edit mode.  
It is not possible to set the audio edit IN point separately for each channel (DA1/DA2/DA3/DA4).

11-7 EDITING WITH THE PRE-READ FUNCTION  
11-5 OTHER FUNCTION  
The pre-read function makes it easy to add A/B roll editing-style wipes and fades even when using only one player. Pre-read  
works by reading out the image or sound at the recording start position just before recording starts during editing. Special effects  
or mixer can then be added to the read-out picture or sound which is then recorded at its original position together with the  
incoming material. And because both sources (the player and recorder) can handle moving pictures, you’ll be able to achieve  
smooth, natural and professional looking special editing effects. Pre-read can be used with both video and audio signals.  
Motion memory function  
The motion memory function allows you to manually store the player’s playback  
speed data in memory. You can call up this data later for variable-motion  
editing.

11-6 MANUAL EDITING  
When editing with a camera or a VCR (player) without an RS-422 serial remote connector, use the BR-D95U’s  
[AUTO EDIT] and [PREROLL] buttons for editing.  
Setting the pre-read function...Set before making the pre-read connection.  
BR-D95U menu switch No. 351 <PREREAD>  
Set menu switch No. 351 <PREREAD> to “OFF” when using an editing controller with pre-read capability. Set menu  
switch No. 351 <PREREAD> to “ON” when using an editing controller with no pre-read capability. This menu switch can  
be switched ON/OFF independently for video and audio.  
When audio pre-read is performed, it is recommended to use the [AUDIO REC] volume knobs preset position because  
audio level for recording cannot be checked.  
Setting the audio output phase for audio pre-read  
Use <AUDIO PHASE> in the audio control menu to adjust the audio output phase to correspond with the video output  
phase (see page 118).  
Use the BR-D95U as the recorder.  
1. Select assemble or insert editing with the edit mode select buttons.  
• For insert editing, select the signal to be edited.  
2. Search the edit IN point with the search and jog dials on the recorder and  
engage the Still mode.  
3. Input the signal from the player or camera.  
Correcting audio output phase delay during audio pre-read  
4. Press the recorder’s [AUTO EDIT] button.  
• The recorder prerolls and starts the editing operation.  
• Recording starts automatically at the edit IN point.  
To correct audio output timing, set menu switch No. 352 <AUD PREREAD TIMING> to “OFF SET”. Correction is  
performed by detecting the delay of the external video device based on the delay set with <AUDIO PHASE> in the audio  
control menu.  
Cautions  
5. To stop editing, press the recorder’s [AUTO EDIT] button.  
• The recorder enters the Still mode. The edit OUT point is automatically  
entered as the edit IN point for the next edit.  
Before the pre-read menu switch setting is released, be sure to disconnect the units for pre-read editing.  
Otherwise, a loop occurs in the connection cables, causing excessive sound volume and distortion which may  
damage the connected equipment.  
It is not possible to rewrite sub time code data when the pre-read function is used.  
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 to continue editing.

12 EDITING SYSTEM PHASE ADJUSTMENT  
11 EDITING  
To ensure accurate, error-free editing with an AB roll editing system or any other multiple-unit system, you must  
adjust the phase of the built-in time base corrector (TBC) after connecting all system components.  
Phase adjustment must be updated each time you replace a connection cable, add or replace one of the units, or  
make any other changes.

• Note on the special effects generator  
As most special effects generators provided with a DVE (Digital Video Effect) function have a built-in frame  
memory, one frame delay occurs if the pre-read function of the BR-D95U is used. To avoid this, only use  
special effects generators with no frame memory (such as JVC’s KM-3000) or ones provided with a function  
that allows you to bypass the frame memory.  
• When menu switch No.351 <PRE READ> is set to “VID-ON” or “AUD-ON”, the Record mode cannot be  
engaged (pressing both the [REC] and [PLAY] buttons has no effect).  
Send external reference sync signals from the sync signal generator to the system components.  
Composite video signals are delivered as video signals.  
• When editing with the pre-read function, the material on the tape in the recorder is replaced with the special-  
effects pictures. If you want to keep the original material, be sure to back up the original tape.  
• When video phase shifting is obvious in video signals inserted for pre-read editing, adjust the video phase  
(refer to page 120).  
• If the editing controller is not provided with the pre-read function, set menu switch No. 351 <PRE READ> of  
the recorder BR-D95U to “ON”.  
* When editing on directly connected VCRs without a switcher, adjustment of system and subcarrier phases  
is not necessary.

The system phase can be varied with the subcarrier-unit step. The relationship between the sync and burst  
phase does not change.  
Video level/setup level/chroma level/chroma phase  
Use menu switch No. 124 <CHROMA ROTE> to specify whether the chroma phase reference signal is a  
composite signal or component signal.  
1. Play back a cassette tape with standard color signals recorded on it.  
Do not use the built-in color bar signal for adjustment.  
2. Adjust the knobs so that the displays on the waveform monitor (WFM) and the vectorscope (VSC)  
appear as illustrated below.  
The phase in the subcarrier can be varied. The relationship between the sync and burst phase does not change.  
To adjust the phase with reference to sync phase, follow the system phase adjustment procedure described below.  
To adjust the phase with reference to subcarrier phase, adjust the system phase as described below, then  
adjust the subcarrier phase.  
To vary sync and burst phase (SCH), adjust it with <SCH PHASE> in the video control menu.

System phase adjustment matches the VCR’s blanking phase with the switcher’s correct blanking phase. Switch  
between the switcher reference signal and the input VCR signal and adjust until there is no change in phase  
position. Without this adjustment, video distortion occurs after completion of fading during switching.

The video phase determines where a picture is located with respect to the sync signal. You can adjust this using  
the same waveform monitor used for system phase adjustment. Set the WFM reference sync to INT and adjust  
while observing blanking until no part of the VCR picture is missing in the rising section.  
If you’re not using a waveform monitor, wipe the picture with the switcher reference signal and adjust until the  
entire picture can be seen on the monitor.

12-3 DUBBING LOOP FUNCTION  
13-1 Command tables  
The dubbing loop function allows you to effectively perform analog video signal adjustment.  
BASIC TABLE  
The dubbing loop function loops video signals and generates color bar signals from the built-in signal generator.  
The picture passes through the looped video signal circuit and is fed back and stored in the memory circuit. Then,  
instead of outputting color bar signals from the signal generator, the picture stored in memory is output and  
passed through the looped video signal circuit the designated number of times. The same effect is obtained each  
time this pseudo-dubbing is repeated and the video signal can be adjusted according to the picture output.

14-1 WARNINGS WITH INDICATORS  
This machine features self-diagnostic circuitry which allows it to detect and report any malfunctions that may  
occur. When a malfunction is detected, the cause will be shown on the monitor display and on the VCR’s counter  
display. The warning code system consists of a main code (the code number) and a sub code (verbal descrip-  
tion), e.g. 02 1 CONDENSATION ON DRUM. The front panel [AUTO OFF] indicator will normally be illuminated.

Precautions  
Do not use screws 8 mm or longer to secure the  
rack mount adapter and slide rail inner members to  
the VCR, as doing so may damage the printed  
circuit boards inside the VCR.  
The handle on the rack mount adapter is only for  
sliding the VCR in and out. Do not lift the VCR with  
this handle.  
When installing the VCR in a rack, make sure there  
is sufficient clearance above and below the VCR for  
heat radiation.  
Some racks may require that you mount the slide  
rails in a particular way. If you have any questions,  
consult the rack dealer.
