The BR-DV600U can be used as a feeder for different video formats.

Mixed S-VHS/VHS system

This is an editing system which uses the BR-DV600U as a feeder/player with an RS-422A serial remote controller such as

the RM-G820. In this case, the BR-DV600U cannot be used as a recorder VCR.

The S-VHS/VHS VCR can be replaced with a D-9/Betacam VCR.

The following editing operations are not available.

Simplified digital cut editing system

Using an editing remote controller with JVC bus specifications such as the RM-G800, digital cut editing is possible with

another MiniDV VCR. When the BR-DV600U is used as a recorder, the following editing operations cannot be performed.

Notes:

Even during the time code editing, the editing

accuracy of 0 frame cannot be obtained. Set the

remote control’s sync grade to 1 frame.

During remote control operation, be sure to turn the

jog dial slowly. Otherwise, the VCR may not be able

to keep up with the operation.

When this unit is operated with the remote control

unit, audio cannot be checked if it is played back at

a speed of less than 1x.

•

When used in an editing system with the RM-G800,

the BR-DV600’s preroll operation is comparatively

slow. This is normal and is not a malfunction.

When editing, the input signal (picture from the

playback VCR) can be monitored. The playback

picture of the recorder VCR just before the edit-in

point cannot be checked.

•

This unit cannot be used for CTL editing. Use for

the time code editing.

During remote control operation, be sure to turn the

jog dial slowly. Otherwise, the VCR may not be able

to keep up with the operation.

•

When this unit is operated with the remote control

unit, audio cannot be checked if it is played back at

a speed of less than 1x.

•

If editing is started in the Pause mode (still) at the

preroll point, editing accuracy may be degraded.

Use the RM-G800 with the out-point return function

OFF. Otherwise, it takes longer to stop editing.

Use the RM-G800 with the Auto EE mode OFF.

Otherwise, the IEEE 1394 “EE inh” error indication is

shown.

Audio dubbing

Playback preparation

Repeat play

5 Audio dubbing is not possible on tapes recorded

with 48 kHz sampling frequency.

5 If audio dubbing is performed repeatedly on a short

section of the tape, there may be some noise when

this section is played back.

5 For audio dubbing, use a tape recorded with this

unit. If another tape is used, first dub it to a tape on

this unit. When audio is dubbed on a tape recorded

on another VCR (including another BR-DV600),

sound and picture may be distorted.

5 During audio dubbing, noise might be visible on the

playback picture. But it is not a trouble of BR-DV600.

Audio dubbing itself is proceeded normally.

5 It is not possible to use the audio dubbing function to

record the CH1/2 playback signal on CH3/4 (sound-

on-sound) .

Signals can only be recorded on CH3 and CH4.

Press the [OPERATE] button to turn the power ON.

Set the No. 108 <VIDEO INPUT SELECT> menu

switch to any position except “IEEE 1394”. (Audio

dubbing is not possible with digital audio input.)

Select the signals output from the [AUDIO OUT] connec-

tors with the [AUDIO OUTPUT] switch.

Press the [PLAY] button to start playback.

At tape end, the tape is rewound automatically and

playback starts again. This operation repeats each time

the tape ends.

connector. Other data recorded on the tape is read out

(time code, user bits, etc.)

Notes:

5 If audio dubbing is performed repeatedly on a short

section of the tape, there may be some noise when

this section is played back.

5 When a tape recorded on a consumer MiniDV VCR

is played back on this unit, the sound level may be

low.

5 When the Pause mode continues for more than

5 minutes, the Stop mode is automatically engaged

to protect the tape. If tape remaining time is less

than 3 minutes or the unit is being used in a low-

temperature environment, the Stop mode is

engaged within about 3 minutes. The Stop mode is

also engaged automatically if slow playback

continues for more than 1 minute with the remote

controller or reverse slow playback continues for

more than 20 seconds.

example, if a section of tape recorded using 48 kHz

sampling is backspaced in the Pause mode — the “Aud

inh” indication is shown and the VCR enters the Stop

mode.

Reference

Recording section on the tape

In the MiniDV format, one video frame consists of 10 tracks.

Each track includes recording sections for audio, video and

sub code (time code, date, time).

As shown in the diagram, the audio recording section

provides 2 channels or 4 channels depending on the

sampling rate frequency selected. In the Audio Dubbing

mode, audio signals are recorded in the CH3 and CH4

section which is created when the 32 kHz sampling fre-

quency is selected.
