Match frame processing system
When two VTRs are used to perform the audio split
editing operations, there will be a total of 8 edit
points: the video IN and OUT points for the player,
the video IN and OUT points for the recorder, the
audio IN and OUT points for the player, and the
audio IN and OUT points for the recorder.
When five of the eight edit points are registered, the
remaining three points are automatically calculated
so only five of the edit points need to be registered.
$ When a VTR not equipped with the split
editing function is used as the player
When a VTR that cannot set the video and audio
edit points independently is used as the player, split
editing is still possible by setting the audio IN point
and OUT point in the recorder and setting the data
of three points as the video edit points.
<Note>
If, during audio split editing, the video OUT point (or
audio OUT point) only is registered without the
audio OUT (or video OUT point) having been
registered and automatic editing is then executed,
either the audio OUT point (or video OUT point) will
be registered or editing will continue until the STOP
button is pressed to suspend the editing operation.

then the player VTR is operated at the set initial
speed up to the IN point.
5
$ Selecting the variable memory mode
When deck-to-deck editing (either the RECORDER
or PLAYER lamp lights) is to be performed, set the
initial speed (–1.0 to +2.0) by turning the search dial
with the SET button held down to transfer the unit to
variable memory mode.
After passing the IN point, turn the search dial to
memorize the playback speed of the VTR used as
the player.
6
$ Releasing variable memory mode
Press the RESET button while holding down the
SET button to release the unit from variable memory
mode.
When the tape has passed the OUT point set by
recorder, the memory of the playback speed will
terminate.

The unit will also be released from this mode when
deck-to-deck editing operations are completed.

Time code
Use the TC (REC RUN/FREE RUN) switch to set
the operation mode in which the internal time code
generator is to be advanced.

The time code is used when the time code signal
generated by the time code generator (time code
signal generator) is to be recorded on the tape, its
values are to be read by the time code reader (time
code signal reader), and the absolute position of the
tape is to be displayed in increments of hours,
minutes, seconds and frames.
REC RUN:
The internal time code generator is advanced
during recording.
The time code advances all the time when the
TC (REGEN/PRESET) switch is at the REGEN
position.
FREE RUN:
The time code is written in the sub-code area (data
area) of the helical track. This enables insert editing to
be conducted independently using the time code
alone. In addition, the VTR’s playback speed can be
read from the stop mode to slow-motion playback up to
high-speed play (approx. 50a normal speed/approx.
100a when using DVCPRO tape).
When the power is on, the internal time code
generator is advanced regardless of the
operation mode.
Use the TC (REGEN/PRESET) switch to set the re-
generating mode.
REGEN:
In this mode, the continuity of the original time
code prior to editing is maintained.
OA more detailed setting can be performed
using setup menu No. 503 (TCG REGEN) and
No. 504 (REGEN MODE).
The time code value appears on the counter display. It
is also superimposed onto the display of the TV
monitor which has been connected to the VIDEO OUT
3 connector or SDI OUT 3 connector, but it does not
appear on the front panel’s LCD monitor.

Video head cleaning
This unit is equipped with an auto head cleaning
function which automatically reduces the amount of dirt
on the video heads. However, in order to maximize the
unit’s reliability, it is recommended that the video
heads be cleaned as and when appropriate.
For further details on how to actually clean the heads,
consult with one of our service companies or with your
dealer.
Condensation
Condensation occurs due to the same principle
involved when droplets of water form on a window
pane of a heated room. It occurs when the unit or tape
is moved between places where the temperature or
humidity varies greatly or when, for instance:
OIt is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a
room immediately after it has been heated up.
OIt is suddenly moved from a cold location to a hot or
humid location.
When moving the unit to locations such as these,
leave it standing for about 10 minutes rather than
switching on the power immediately.
If condensation occurs in the unit, “E-20” will flash on
the counter display and the cassette will be
automatically ejected.
Leave the unit with the power on until “E-20” is cleared
from the display.
Maintenance
Before starting any maintenance work, switch the
power to OFF and, holding the plug, unplug the cord
from the socket.
Use a soft cloth to clean the outside of the unit.
For stubborn dirt or stains, wipe the unit with a cloth
that has been lightly dampened with well-diluted
kitchen detergent and wrung out thoroughly.
After wiping off the dirt with the damp cloth, finish it off
with a dry cloth.
<Note>
Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or any other
solvents as they may affect the color of external parts
or damage the unit’s coating.

successfully sent from the controller.
Command identifier; a 3-byte identifier (ASCII
code: symbols, numbers, upper-case letters) is
sent as the command.

The underlining indicates the factory settings.
This code serves as a delimiter between the
command and data.
Any changes to the settings can be made using the
setup menu items listed below.
