Features
Creation of clips
Using the ClipLink function, the camera operator can
create clips to be used during editing.
The images captured at the Mark IN points are
recorded in a compressed format onto the tape as
“Index Pictures”. In addition, editing point-related data
(scene number, time code for Mark IN/OUT points,
etc.) is recorded in the cassette memory.
The DSR-1/1P is a dockable VCR that uses the
DVCAM™ digital recording format.
The DSR-1/1P can be combined with a DXC-D30/
D30P/D35/D35P digital video camera or a DXC-637/
537A/327B series analog video camera. When docked
with the DXC-D30/D30P/D35/D35P, the DSR-1/1P
functions as a DVCAM digital camcorder.
ClipLink mode
New Functions as High-
Performance Digital Recording
VCR
To use the ClipLink function, select the menu setting
to set the DSR-1/1P into ClipLink mode. There is also
a ClipLink continue function that enables clips to be
continued even after a break in recording.
The DSR-1/1P uses the DVCAM recording format.
The internal signal processing is digitalized to provide
more stable output signals and higher reliability.
PCM digital audio
Recording/playback can be set to audio lock mode.
Selectable between two-channel recording (with a
sampling frequency of 48 kHz) mode or four-channel
recording (with a sampling frequency of 32 kHz) mode
(channels 1 and 2 only).
Compatible with consumer DV
A DV cassette recorded on a DV-format VCR can be
played back on the DSR-1/1P. (Cassettes recorded in
LP mode cannot be played back.)
Equipped with audio output connectors
DVCAM cassettes
During recording or playback, audio output can be
monitored via a built-in speaker, a connected earphone
or via (two-channel) audio output connectors.
The DSR-1/1P can use both standard-size and mini-
size DVCAM cassettes. According to cassette size, the
DSR-1/1P automatically correct reel position.
Color playback
The maximum recording/playback times are 184
minutes for standard size cassettes and 40 minutes for
mini cassettes.
Connect an external video monitor for color playback
(playback adaptor not required). The DSR-1/1P is
equipped with two video monitor connectors: one for
composite video output and the other for S-video
output.
DVCAM cassettes include a cassette memory.
Information about the editing points (ClipLink™ log
data) that is specified while shooting is recorded into
this cassette memory.
ClipLink™ function
The ClipLink function links all stages from shooting to
editing. Once editing points have been set with this
function during shooting, they can be used to boost the
efficiency of editing work.

Features
Audio level adjustable from camera
New Functions as DVCAM Digital
Camcorder
You can use a knob on the camera’s front panel to
adjust the channel 1 audio recording level.
The following unique functions are available when you
dock the DSR-1/1P with a DXC-D30/D30P/D35/D35P
digital video camera.
Standard Functions as a
Dockable VCR
Freeze mix function
The DSR-1/1P is equipped with all of the standard
functions of conventional dockable VCRs.
This function superimposes a freeze-frame from the
previous recorded scene to facilitate setting up the
same framework for a new scene.
Back space editing
Recording of camera setup data
Press the VTR button on the camera or lens to link
recordings with ±0-frame accuracy. The recording
review function or edit search function can be used to
ensure continuous recording with the same accuracy
even after changing the tape position via playback/fast
forward/rewind or after removing the cassette.
SetupLog™ function
Settings at shooting are recorded onto the tape in real
time. This recorded data can then be used to reproduce
the same shooting conditions in subsequent shots. It
also makes it easier to identify the causes of problems
in previous shots.
Playback functions
SetupNavi™ function
The setup conditions selected using the camera setup
menu are recorded onto the tape along with setup file
settings. Using this function, the same settings can be
reproduced for each recording and the same setup can
be shared among several camcorders.
Monochrome playback of recordings can be seen
through the camera’s viewfinder.
The recording review function automatically rewinds
and plays back the last few seconds of the recording.
Use this function to easily and quickly check
recordings.
Edit search function
You can operate the search playback function in
forward or reverse (two search speeds are available)
right from the camera, without having to use the tape
transport buttons. This makes it easier to find a
recording start point when you restart shooting at any
point on the tape.
Built-in time code generator/reader
The internal time code generator can record the time
code data that is required for high-precision editing.
Audio recording functions
Time code display on viewfinder screen
during playback
In addition to using the camera’s built-in microphone,
sound can be recorded via a wireless microphone
system or an external audio system.

the TC mode switch 1 6 has been set to PRESET.
F-RUN: The time code advances continuously
whether or not the DSR-1/1P is recording. Use this
setting to align the time code value with real time.
SET: Use this setting to set the time code or user bit
value.
R-RUN: The time code value advances only during
recording. Use this setting to have consecutive time
code values for consecutive recordings on the tape.
For details on the VTR menu, see Chapter 6 “Menu”.
2 DISPLAY switch
Switches time value indication shown in the display
window.
COUNTER: Shows the tape transport time in
HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes, and seconds).
TC: Shows the time code value.
U-BIT: Shows the user bit data in the time code.
For information about the display window, see “1 Display
Note for the DSR-1
window” in “Display Section” on page 11.
There are two time code frame modes: drop-frame
(DF) mode and non drop-frame (NDF) mode. This
product is shipped with drop-frame mode selected.
3 ADVANCE button
When setting time code and user bit values, or at menu
setting, press this button to increment the digit that has
been selected with the SHIFT button 4. In other case,
keep pressing this button to show the clip remaining
indication instead of time value. (Example: CLIP

PRESET: This starts recording time code values on
the tape from the currently set value.
REGEN: This reads the tape’s current time code value
and sets the time code to record starting from that
value. This ensures that the tape’s time code will be
continuous, even if there is a break in recording.
The time code value is advanced in R-RUN mode
regardless of the setting on TC mode switch 2 5.
DATE/TIME: This synchronizes the time code to the
real time clock set in the VTR menu (see page 63).
In this case the time code of the DSR-1 is recorded
in DF (drop-frame mode).
For time code and user bit settings, see pages 50 and 51.
On how to use the ADVANCE button for menu settings, see
Chapter 6 “Menu”.
Note
If the ClipLink function is set to on (meaning ClipLink
shooting is allowed) in menu 211 and CONT is
displayed in the display window, regardless of the
setting of this switch, the time code generator
automatically enters the REGEN mode at recording.
(The ClipLink function is factory-set to on.)

Power Supply
The following power supplies can be used with the DSR-1/1P.
• BP-L40/L60A lithium-ion battery pack
• NP-1B Ni-Cd Battery Pack (The DC-L1 Battery Adaptor is required.)
• BP-90A Ni-Cd Battery Pack (The DC-L90 Battery Adaptor is required.)
• AC power (The AC-550/550CE, AC-DN1/DN2A or CMA-8A/8ACE AC
Adaptor is required.)
Alternatively, you can make combined use of internal and external
batteries, by mounting one of the above batteries as an internal battery and
connecting an external battery that can be a BP-90A contained in a DC-
210 Battery Adaptor and connected to the DC IN connector of the DSR-1/
1P.
Using a BP-L40/L60A Battery Pack
With a battery pack, the DSR-1/1P will operate continuously for the time
shown below.
BP-L40: Approx. 75 minutes
BP-L60A: Approx. 150 minutes
Before use, charge the battery pack with a BC-L50/L100/L100CE Battery
Charger.
Notes on using the battery pack
• A warm battery pack may not be fully recharged.
• Even when fully charged, battery packs gradually lose their charge
naturally. Use the battery packs as soon as possible after recharging.
• To prolong the life of battery packs, store them in a cool place (about
20°C (68°F)), and charge in a place with an ambient temperature between
10°C and 30°C (50°F to 86°F).
• Before long-term storage, discharge the battery fully. This extends the
battery life.
• It is recommended that the BP-L40 be used at 30 W or less. The specified
capacity may not be obtained if the BP-L40 is connected to the DSR-1/1P
which is operated with camera and accessories at 30 W or higher,
especially when the ambient temperature is low.
• At low temperatures, the usable time of battery packs decreases. When
the ambient temperature is 0°C (32°F), usable time decreases by about
10%. (However, the usable time is affected by the power consumption of
the DSR-1/1P, camera and accessories in addition to the usage status of
the battery packs.) The usable time of battery packs increases if they are
warmed to the room temperature (about 20°C (68°F)) before use at low
temperatures.
• If you use the BP-L40 at temperatures of 0°C (32°F) or below, when
power consumption of the DSR-1/1P, camera and accessories is 40 W or
higher (due to using a video light, for example), power may break after a
short time (a few minutes). To increase the usable time, store the BP-L40
in a warm place, and power on the DSR-1/1P and camera before the BP-
L40 cools down.

Power Supply
• Compared to the BP-L40, the BP-L60A offers better performance at low
temperatures. The BP-L60A is recommended for use at low temperature.
• Carrying a spare battery pack is recommended.
The BP-L40/L60A is free from memory effect. There is no need to
discharge it fully before recharging.
Attaching the battery pack
1 Press the battery pack against
the rear of the DSR-1/1P,
aligning the side line of the
battery pack with the line on
the DSR-1/1P.

Detaching the battery pack
Holding the button in,
pull the battery pack
up.
Avoiding breaks in operation due to dead batteries
If you use both an internal battery pack and an external battery connected
to the DC IN connector at the same time, you can avoid breaks in
operation due to the dead batteries.
When the external battery begins to fail and an internal battery
pack is also used
Remove the DC output cable of the external battery from the DC IN
connector. The power source will switch to the internal battery pack.
When the external battery begins to fail and an internal battery
pack is not used
First load the DSR-1/1P with a fully charged internal battery pack, then
remove the DC output cable of the external battery from the DC IN
connector. The power source will switch to the internal battery pack. To
use an external battery again, connect a fully charged external battery to
the DC IN connector before unloading the internal battery pack. The
power source will switch to the external battery.
Continuous operation when operating with only an internal
battery pack
First, connect a fully charged external battery to the DC IN connector, then
change the internal battery.
Notes
• Whenever an internal battery pack is loaded and an external battery is
connected to the DC IN connector, the external battery is always used as
the power source.
• There may be some noise on the video or audio signal at the instant the
power sources are switched.

Cassettes for the DSR-1/1P
The DSR-1/1P can use standard-size and mini-size DVCAM and DV
series metal tape cassettes. (To ensure high-quality playback, editing, and
storage of recorded contents, we recommend using highly reliable
DVCAM cassettes.)
The following table lists the cassettes that can be used in the DSR-1/1P.
Model name
PDV-64ME/94ME/124ME/184ME Standard size
PDVM-12ME/22ME/32ME/40ME Mini size
Size
The numbers in the model names show maximum recording/playback time
(minutes) for each model. For example, the maximum recording/playback
time of the PDV-184ME is 184 minutes.
Notes
• If you insert an incorrect type of cassette, it will be automatically ejected.
• When using a DV cassette, the maximum recording time is reduced to
two-thirds of the time indicated on the cassette. For example, up to 40
minutes of recording can be done on a 60-minute DV cassette.
DVCAM cassettes
The following figure illustrates the DVCAM cassette’s appearance.
Standard size
Mini size
Cassette memory
REC/SAVE switch
For ClipLink shooting, a DVCAM cassette including “cassette memory” is
necessary. In the cassette memory, data required for editing the recorded
video (ClipLink log data) is stored. The DSR-1/1P can record or play back
the cassettes with cassette memory of 16 kbits or less.
For details of ClipLink log data, see Chapter 5 “ClipLink Shooting”.

Cassettes for the DSR-1/1P
Notes on using cassettes
• Before storing the cassette, rewind the tape to the beginning and be sure
to put the cassette in its storage case, preferably on end instead of flat on
its side. The storage case of a DVCAM cassette is specially designed to
eusure a long-period storage of the tape.
Storing a cassette in any other condition (not rewound, out of its case,
etc.) may cause the video and audio contents to become damaged over
time.
• If the cassette memory connector (contact point) becomes dirty,
connection problems may occur and cause a loss of functions. Remove
away any dust or dirt from this area before using the cassette.
• If the cassette is dropped on the floor or otherwise receives a hard impact,
the tape may become slackened and may not record and or play back
correctly. For instructions on removing tape slack, see next page.
• Follow the instructions on page 39 to insert a cassette, or the DSR-1/1P
may be damaged.

If there is a long period before shooting the next scene
Setting the camera’s power switch to ON SAVE can help you conserve on
power and extend battery usage. However, since it takes time for the
recording to start after pressing the VTR button, set up standby-on mode
shortly beforehand by changing the camera’s power switch to ON STBY.
Once set in standby-on mode, the DSR-1/1P waits a certain (user-
definable) period of time and then automatically switches to standby-off
mode.
For details on setting the camera’s power switch (ON SAVE/ON STBY), see the
operating instructions for your camera.
For details on setting the timeout value for automatic switching to standby-off
mode, see “Setting the Standby Period — Menu 207” on page 64.
Starting Back Space Editing at Any Tape Position
This section describes the steps for insert a new scene at any desired
position on the tape.
The following steps can also be used to restart recording after an
interruption has occurred.
1 Perform step 1 (page 38) in “Shooting”.
2 Insert the cassette containing the previous recording.
3 Perform steps 3 and 4 (pages 40 and 41) in “Shooting”.

In the NTSC standard, the time code value is based on
30 frames per second, but the exact video frame
frequency is in fact 29.97 frames per second and the
real time, or 18 frames per 10 minutes.
Drop-frame mode corrects for this by skipping two
frame counts at the beginning of every minute which is
not a multiple of ten.
When the DSR-1/1P is at the recording pause state,
the recorded time code is read from the tape and
synchronized to the internal time code generator.

in menu 101.
In non-drop-frame mode, however, no frame counts
are omitted, and there is a gradual deviation of the time

Synchronization With External Time Code Signals
— Gen-Lock
To edit and compile a recording that is shot using
multiple camcorders, it is necessary to synchronize the
video and time code of the various camcorders (by
gen-lock).
Note
Synchronization with external time code signals (by
gen-lock) may be disallowed in some cases at
ClipLink shooting. For details, see step 4 on page 56
in Chapter 5 “ClipLink Shooting”

Synchronization With External Time Code Signals —Gen-Lock
Locking the Internal Time Code
Generator to the Reference Time
Code
Perform the following steps to synchronize the DSR-1/
1P’s internal time code generator to an external time
code.
1 Set the TC mode switch 1 to PRESET.
2 Set the TC mode switch 2 to F-RUN.
3 Connect a reference time code and video signal to
the DSR-1/1P.
For connections, see the previous section “Connection
for Gen-Lock”.
“EXT-LK” will be displayed in the display
window. The internal time code generator will
maintain its externally synchronized state even
after you disconnect the reference time code signal.
The precision of this synchronization (phase
alignment) of time codes depends on the precision
of the camera’s sync signal generator.
Notes
• After setting up external synchronization, allow a few
seconds for the camera’s sync signal generator to
stabilize before recording.
• Only the time code can be externally synchronized.
User bits cannot be externally synchronized.
• If you switch the setting on the DSR-1/1P’s or the
camera’s POWER switch while the camcorder is
operating under external synchronization,
synchronization precision will be reduced.

Cleaning the Video Heads
Always use the special-purpose Sony DVM-12CL
Cleaning Cassette for cleaning the audio and video
heads. Follow the instructions with the cleaning
cassette carefully, as inappropriate use of the cleaning
cassette can damage the heads.
Note
The DVM-12CL Cleaning Cassette can be used only
once. When the DVM-12CL is loaded in the DSR-1/
1P, only STOP, PLAY and EJECT buttons function.
Replacing the video heads
If cleaning the video heads fails to restore picture
quality, the heads may be due for replacement.
Keep a check of the hours of head drum operation:
with normal use, the heads should need replacing after
about 2,000 hours of use.
When the heads need replacement, contact your Sony
dealer.
Check the hours of head drum operation using the VTR
menu. For details see “Checking the Total Operating
(Power-On) Hours — Menu 201” on page 63.
Replacing other parts
For replacement of all parts other than the video heads,
contact your Sony dealer.

Warning System
When the DSR-1/1P is powered on, or if a fault occurs
during operation, a warning is given in the following
ways:
• By the warning indicators in the viewfinder.
(Depending on the video camera model, this feature
may not be available.)
• By warning indications in the display window.
• By means of the WARNING indicator together with
a warning tone from the speaker or earphone.
You can adjust the volume of the warning tone with
the ALARM knob. When this knob is turned to the
minimum position, there is no sound output at all.

Condensation
If you move the VCR suddenly from a very cold place
to a warm place, or use it in a very humid location,
condensation may form on the head drum. If the VCR
is operated in this state, the tape may adhere to the
drum, and cause a failure or even permanent damage.
Take the following steps to prevent this from
happening:
• Remove the cassette before moving the unit from a
very cold place to a warm place.
• Before inserting a cassette, turn the power on, and
check that the HUMID indication is not showing in
the display window. If it is showing, wait — do not
insert a cassette until the HUMID indication
disappears. You can save waiting time if you keep the
VCR powered.
For details of cassette insertion and removal, see the section
“Shooting” on page 38, and for details of the HUMID
indication, see the section “Warning System” on page 72.

Glossary
Composite video signal
S video connectors
Time data
A composite video signal includes a video
signal, burst signal, and sync signal.
Input/ouput connectors for separate Y
(luminance) and C (chroma) signals. This
method eliminates interference between Y
and C signals that can occur in
This refers either to time data that is
generated by a time code generator or time
data that is played back from a tape and
read by a time code reader.
Condensation
conventional composite video signals to
obtain a higher-resolution picture.
Condensation refers to tiny droplets of
water that can appear in a device, such as
in the tape transport system. When
condensation occurs on a video head drum,
the tape may stick to the drum, which can
damage not only the tape but also the VCR
unit.
User bits
These are also referred to as “users’ bits”.
The user bits are a 32-bit segment of the
time code recording area. The user can
select what to record in this segment and
how to use the recorded data. For
example, it can be used to record date
information in addition to the time code
data or ID numbers for tape reels or
programs.
Search
The search function enables recorded
images or time codes to be viewed while
the tape is played back at various forward
or reverse speeds, as a means of locating a
particular scene in the taped program.
Digital VCR
A digital VCR converts analog video
signals to digital signals which are
recorded onto the video tape. When video
signals are recorded and played back in
their original analog format, the signal
quality may deteriorate due to tape/head
misalignment, variation in tape tension,
and other causes. By contrast, there is
very little signal deterioration when the
recorded signals are digital signals that are
converted to analog signals for playback.
Setup
The difference between the reference black
level and the blanking level of a composite
signal.
Standby-off mode
One of the stop modes. In this mode, head
drum rotation is stopped and the tape
tension is slackened. It is not possible to
switch instantaneously from this mode to
recording or playback mode. This mode is
not harmful to the tape or heads.
Drum
See “Head drum”.
Standby-on mode
One of the stop modes. In this mode, the
head drum continues rotating and the tape
remains wound onto the drum. This mode
enables instantaneous switching to
recording or playback mode. To prevent
damage to the tape or heads, the device
automatically switches from standby-on
mode to standby-off mode after a certain
period of time.
External synchronization
External synchronization is when the
target device’s operations and signals are
synchronized with the operations and
signals of a reference device. When a
recorder (recording VCR) and player
(source VCR) are used in editing, the two
devices’ operation timing signals and time
code signals are often synchronized.
Sync
Gen-lock
This refers to the sync (synchronization)
signal. The sync signal is used as a
reference signal for duplicating the
scanning patterns recorded via a camera
when playing back the recording on a
monitor. The sync signal actually includes
two signals: a horizontal sync signal and a
vertical sync signal.
Abbreviation of “generator lock”. It refers
to the synchronization of a VCR to a
reference sync signal.
Head drum
A metal cylinder to which a video head is
attached. This drum is rotated at high
speeds in synchronization with the sync
signal during recording and playback.
Time code
The time code is a tape position
information signal that includes time and
frame data that are recorded onto the tape
when shooting so as to facilitate searching
of editing point settings and recorded
scenes when viewing or editing.
PCM audio
PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.”
PCM audio means audio signals that have
been processed by pulse code modulation.
Each analog audio signal is converted into
pulses that are generated in rapid
succession, and each pulse is recorded as a
digital signal having a value of 0 or 1.
