Overview
Features
The DSR-70/70P is a 1/4-inch digital videocassette
recorder using the DVCAMTM digital recording format.
It uses a component video system, with separate
luminance and chrominance signals and digital
processing to realize a stable, high image quality.
This unit is lightweight and compact, with a color
liquid crystal display and speakers, making it easy to
carry, yet ideal for on-the-spot checking of recorded
material.
High image quality and high stability
The luminance and chrominance signals are encoded
separately, with a 1/5 compression, giving a stable high
quality video image.
Since this is a digital system, nth-generation copies
created by repeated dubbing show virtually no loss in
picture quality.
By combining two units, you can easily assemble a cut
editing system.
Wide track
The unit supports the Sony-developed ClipLinkTM
function, improving operating efficiency when
combined with a Sony EditStationTM.
The recording track width is 15 µm, 50% wider than
the 10 µm of the DV format. This ensures adequate
reliability for professional use.
A range of optional interface boards is available, with
support for both digital and analog systems.
The following are the principal features of the unit.
PCM digital audio for high sound quality
The PCM encoding method yields a high audio
quality, with wide dynamic range and high signal-to-
noise ratio.
There are two recording modes: two-channel mode
(48-kHz sampling and 16-bit quantization), which
offers sound quality equivalent to the DAT (Digital
Audio Tape) format, or four-channel (32-kHz
sampling and 12-bit quantization).
DVCAM Format
DVCAM is a professional 1/4-inch digital recording
format developed by Sony from the DV 4:1:1
component digital format for home use.

two channel, 48-kHz mode and four-channel, 32-kHz mode. It is not
possible to select other modes (for example, four-channel, 48-kHz
mode).
• If an audio signal in a different mode than the base tape is used in
assemble or insert editing, the signals will be discontinuous at the edit
points and correct editing will not be obtained. For this reason, audio
editing between different modes is inhibited on this unit.
For smooth editing operations, check the audio recording mode of the
base tape beforehand. If on a tape there is a point where the audio
mode is switched, you cannot perform an insert editing on that point.
• Once you have started recording, you cannot change the audio mode
selection.

Handling Cassettes
This unit can use standard-size and mini-size DVCAM cassettes listed
below.
Model name
Size
PDV-64ME/94ME/124ME/184ME
PDVM-12ME/22ME/32ME/40ME
Standard size
Mini size
The numbers in each model name indicate the maximum recording/
playback time (in minutes) for each model. For example, the PDV-184ME
has a maximum recording/playback time of 184 minutes.
Notes
• If you insert an incorrect type of cassette, it will be automatically ejected.
• When operating this unit as a player, you can also use DV cassettes on
the unit. However, it is the best choice to always use DVCAM cassettes
because they are more reliable than DV cassettes whatever your purpose
may be: playback, editing, or long-period storage of recordings.
• Cassettes that have been recorded by a DV-format recorder can be played
back on this unit, but you cannot use them to carry out recording by
editing. If you insert such a cassette into this unit, the NO EDIT
indication lights up in the sub LCD menu home page.

Handling Casettes
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
ensure 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 below.
Preventing accidental erasure
Set the REC/SAVE switch on the cassette to SAVE to prevent accidental
erasure of recorded contents.

Checking the tape for slack
Using a paper clip or a similar object, turn the reel gently in the direction
shown by the arrow. If the reel does not move, there is no slack. Insert the
cassette into the cassette compartment, and after about 10 seconds take it
out.

Selecting an Edit Mode
When you use two DSR-70/70P units, you can do two types of editing:
assemble editing and insert editing. This section provides an outline of
each type and explains how to select an edit mode.
In the subsequent explanation of editing operations in this chapter,
illustrations of a pair of DSR-70/70P units (player and recorder) combined
using the optional BKNW-225 Docking Kit are used (see page 125). In
each illustration, as viewed from the front, the unit on the left is the player
and the unit on the right is the recorder.
Assemble Editing
In assemble editing, you record video and audio materials in order from
the start of the tape. In addition to video and audio, timecode is also
recorded. If timecode is already recorded on the tape, the new timecode is
recorded so as to form a continuous sequence with the existing timecode.
Assemble editing is convenient when you are recording on a new tape.
Note
Before you begin assemble editing for the first time with a new tape, video
signal such as black signal and timecode must be recorded on the tape in
advance of the recorder IN point for a length equal to or greater than the
preroll time.

Synchronizing the Internal
Timecode Generator With an
External Signal — External Lock
You can synchronize the internal timecode generator
of this unit by inputting an external timecode signal
(LTC).
To synchronize to an external timecode
signal
Connect the external timecode (LTC) signal to the TC
IN connector, and set the TC INT/EXT switch to the
EXT position.
This starts the synchronization of the internal timecode
generator to the external timecode signal. Once the
synchronization is achieved, the internal timecode
generator continues to be synchronized even when the
external timecode signal is disconnected.
Note
When the input mode is SDTI or i.LINK (the SDTI or
i.LINK indicator is present in the subsidiary LCD),
then setting the TC INT/EXT switch to the EXT
position automatically synchronizes the internal
timecode generator to the timecode transferred through
the SDTI (DSBK-150) or i.LINK (DSBK-140)
interface.
Note that when the TC INT/EXT switch is set to EXT,
the advance mode and frame count mode (DSR-70
only) are automatically set as follows.
Advance mode: free running
Frame count mode (DSR-70 only): the same as the
external timecode signal (drop frame or non-drop
frame)
Checking the synchronization to the
external signal
Press the STOP button to stop this unit, then press the
REC/SEQ button.
Watch the time counter display, and check that the
values displayed coincide with the external timecode
values.

Sequential Recording Using Two Units
When you combine two DSR-70/70P units, you can
perform sequential recording from one unit to another.
(In the following explanation of two-unit sequential
recording, the controlling unit is referred to as the
recorder and the controlled unit as the player.)
For overwriting recording using only two cassettes, the
last 6 hours of recording is always available.
By replacing the cassette approximately every 3 hours,
indefinite continuous recording is possible.
Sequential recording using two DSR-70/70P units can
be performed in the following two ways.
In either case, you can use the same operating
procedure, but there are some differences in
equipment/signal connections and basic settings
between the two cases.
For more information about equipment/signal connections
and basic settings for two-unit sequential recording, see the
section “Connections for Sequential Recording Using Two
Units” on page 118.
Use the following procedure. You can do control panel
operations on the recorder during sequential recording.
Rewind the tape to the beginnig beforehand.
• Inputting external video and audio signals to both the
player and recorder.
• Inputting external video and audio signals to the
player and inputting the video and audio signals
output from the player to the recorder.

moisture from the air may condense on the head drum.
This is called condensation, and if a tape is run in this
state, the tape may stick to the drum and can be easily
damaged. To lessen the risk of this occurring, this unit
is equipped with a condensation detection system.
If the condensation alarm messages appear
immediately after powering on:
Leave the unit powered on and wait until the alarm
messages disappear. You cannot load a cassette into
the unit while the alarm messages are being displayed
Once the alarm messages disappear, the unit is ready
for use.
Head Cleaning
To clean the heads
Always use the DVM12CL (mini-size) or DV12CL
(standard size) Cleaning Cassette to clean the video
and audio heads. You can run the cleaning cassette for
10 seconds per cleaning operation. Follow the
instructions for the cleaning cassette, as inappropriate
use of the cleaning cassette can damage the heads.
Insert the cleaning cassette. This automatically starts
cleaning. You cannot operate any tape transport
control buttons other than the EJECT button during the
cleaning operation.
After about 10 seconds, the cleaning cassette will be
automatically ejected.

Specifications
Note on liquid crystal display panel (LCD
monitor)
The liquid crystal display fitted to this unit is
manufactured with high precision technology, giving a
functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very
small proportion of pixels (at most 0.01%) may be
“stuck”, constantly on or constantly off. In addition,
over a long period of use, because of the physical
characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such
“stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously.
These problems have been kept to the absolute
minimum, but are an unavoidable characteristic of
liquid crystal technology.

Glossary
Assemble editing
Drop frame mode
Loading
Editing in which new video/audio is added
in sequence to the end of existing recorded
video/audio. See also “Insert editing”.
Time code runs at 30 frames/sec. The
NTSC system, however, runs at about
29.97 frame /sec. Drop frame mode
adjusts this difference. The timecode and
video are synchronized by dropping the
first two frames of the timecode every
minute, except at the ten-minute marks.
Also called “threading”. To pull the tape
out of the cassette case, thread it along the
specified tape path, and wrap it on the
drum in order to prepare it for recording or
playback. The VCR automatically loads
the cassette tape when you insert the
cassette into the cassette compartment.
There are two loading modes: standby-on
mode and standby-off mode.
Bridge connection
A connection which allows a signal input
to an input terminal to pass through the
unit and exit from an output terminal as
input to external equipment.
Drum
See “Head drum”.
LTC
B–Y signal
Abbreviation of “Longitudinal Time
Code”. This timecode is recorded on a
longitudinal track on the tape. Reading is
unreliable at low speeds, and not possible
at all during still playback. See also
“VITC”.
One of the color difference signals, the B
(blue) signal minus Y (luminance) signal.
E-E mode
Abbreviation of “Electric to Electric”
mode. In this mode, video and audio
signals input to the VCR are output after
passing through internal electric circuits,
but not through magnetic conversion
circuits such as heads and tapes. This can
be used to check input signals and for
adjusting input signal levels.
C signal
See “Chrominance signal”.
Capstan
Luminance signal
A signal that determined the brightness of
the picture. Also called “Y signal”.
A drive mechanism that moves the tape at
a specified speed. Its rotation is normally
synchronized with a reference sync signal.
Emphasis
The signal is emphasized at high
frequencies. During playback, it is de-
emphasized. This suppresses noise
without affecting the original signal.
Non-drop frame mode
Chrominance signal
A signal which carries information about
hue and saturation. Also called “C signal”.
The number of frames of the timecode and
video run is not adjusted. When you use
the timecode in non-drop frame mode, the
real playback time will be about 86
seconds shorter per day than the timecode.
If you edit frame by frame or if you
determine the length of a shot by counting
the timecode, use drop frame mode.
Condensation
External lock/Gen-lock
Moisture which condensed on tape
transport mechanisms. If there is
condensation on the head drum, tape sticks
to drum and the VCR may malfunction.
Synchronizing one equipment (controlled
or slave unit) to another (controlling or
master unit). The signal and tape run of
the VCRs used for editing, player and
recorder, are usually synchronized.
Non-linear editing
Component video signal
A signal that consists of a luminance
signal (Y) and two chrominance signals
(R–Y, B–Y).
Editing while playing back video and
audio signals recorded on hard disks.
Video scenes stored on disk can be cued
up quickly, for increased editing
efficiency. See also “Linear editing”.
Gen-lock (generator lock)
See “External lock”.
Head drum
Composite video signal
A signal that consists of video, sync and
color burst signals.
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.
Preroll
Running of a video tape to a prior to an
edit-start point to enable the tape to reach a
steady speed and to be synchronized with
other video tapes.
CTL
Control signal in the form of regular pulses
recorded along a longitudinal track on the
videotape. By counting these pulses, it is
possible to determine the number of
frames, and hence the tape’s running time.
Used mainly to adjust the tracking position
of video heads, and to achieve timecode
continuity in continuous recording.
Insert editing
Editing in which new video/audio is added
into the middle of existing recorded video/
audio. See also “Assemble editing”.
Quantization
The level resolution when an analog signal
is sampled before converted into a digital
signal. 8-bit quantizing has 256 levels and
16-bit quantizing has 1024 levels.
Generally, 8-bit quantizing is used for
video signals and 16-bit quantizing is used
for audio signals. The fewer the
quantizing steps, the more distortion is in
the analog signal when the digital signal is
reconverted into analog signal.
IRE
A unit for representing a video level laid
down by the IRE (Institute of Radio
Engineers). The IRE is now the IEEE
(Institute of Electric and Electronic
Engineers).
Digital VCR
On a digital VCR, video and audio signals
are recorded on magnetic tape and, unlike
on an analog VCR, can be played back
without any quality deterioration.
Linear editing
Editing while playing back video and
audio signals recorded on video tape.
See also “Non-linear editing”.

Reference video signal
Setup (for DSR-70)
Synchronization
A video signal which contains a sync
signal or sync and burst signals, used as a
reference for synchronization of video
equipment.
The difference between the reference black
level and the blanking level of a composite
signal.
In video editing, alignment of the position
and speed of player and recorder VCRs
tapes. Carried out during preroll in order to
increase editing precision.
SMPTE
R–Y signal
Abbreviation of Society of Motion Picture
and Television Engineers, a professional
association established in the USA.
Tape tension
One of the color difference signals, the R
(red) signal minus Y (luminance) signal.
Sampling frequency
The unit of time used when converting an
analog signal with a continuously varying
level to digital form by sampling the level
at a fixed interval. In general, a higher
sampling frequency makes it possible to
digitize analog signals of a higher
frequency.
The tension applied to a tape. For the tape
to run properly while being wound on the
drum, it must be pulled lightly in the
opposite direction to the direction of
transport. Improper adjustment of tape
tension can cause deviations along the
temporal signal axis. In analog VCRs,
these deviations are evident as skew and
distortion in the upper part of the screen.
S/N
Signal-to-Noise ratio. The relation of the
strength of the desired signal to the
accompanying electronic interference, the
noise. If S/N is high, sounds are
reproduced with less noise and pictures are
reproduced clearly without snow.
TBC
SCH
Standby-off mode
Abbreviation of Time Base Corrector.
Electronic circuits to electrically stabilize
the playback signals by removing color
variation and roll in the playback picture
caused by irregularity in drum rotation and
tape movement. Time base correction
reduces deterioration of picture quality
when transmitting or copying playback
signals.
Abbreviation of Sub Carrier to Horizontal.
The phase of the subcarrier with respect to
the phase of the horizontal synchronization
signal. In editing of monochrome video,
phase continuity is maintained by editing
in units of frames (two fields), so that the
continuity of the horizontal
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.
synchronization signal phase is
Standby-on mode
maintained. Editing of color video must be
done in units of two frames (four fields) to
maintain subcarrier continuity. The SCH
of a field can be checked to find out which
of the four fields it represents. This allows
edited video signals to be joined while
maintaining subcarrier continuity.
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.
Threading
See “Loading”.
Time code
The timecode is a tape position
information signal that includes time and
frame data that are recorded onto the tape
so as to facilitate searching of editing
points and recorded scenes when viewing
or editing.
SMPTE timecode is applied to NTSC
system, and EBU timecode is applied to
PAL/SECAM systems. There are two
kinds of signal recorded on tape. One is
longitudinal timecode (LTC) recorded
along the tape (the same way as audio and
CTL signals). The other is vertical
interval timecode (VITC). This code is
inserted in the vertical blanking period and
it is recorded on the tape with video
signals.
Search
Viewing the picture or timecode by
running the tape in fast forward or rewind
mode, in order to search for a particular
scene.
Subcarrier
Color information contained in a
composite video signal. Its amplitude is
for color saturation and its phase to color
burst is for hue.
Servo
A mechanism that controls the number and
phase of rotations of the head drum or
capstan. Servo mechanism allows
playback of the video signal without guard
band noise. The reference signal of the
servo control is normally a vertical sync
signal.
Superimpose
To put one picture (or characters) onto
another so that both can be seen at the
same time.
S-video
A singal format in which Y (luminance)
and C (chrominance) signals are separated
to reduce interference between them so
that noiseless images are reproduced.
Servo lock
Time data
This refers to the synchronization of the
phase of the drum rotation and the
reference signal for the tape transport
position, so that the video heads can trace
the same pattern on the tape for playback
and recording.
This refers either to time data that is
generated by a timecode generator or time
data that is played back from a tape and
read by a timecode reader.
Sync
A reference signal consisting of vertical
and horizontal sync signals used for
synchronizing the scanning patterns of the
video camera and the monitor.
Unloading
When the EJECT button is pressed, the
VCR automatically winds the tape back
into the cassette case. Also called
“Unthreading”.

Unthreading
See “Unloading”.
User bits
These are also referred to as “user’s bits”.
The user bits are a 32-bit segment of the
timecode 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 timecode
data or ID numbers for tape reels or
programs.
V (vertical)-blanking
The portion of the video signal that occurs
between the end of one field and the
beginning of the next. During this time,
the electron beams in monitors are turned
off so that they can return from the bottom
of the screen to the top without showing
tracks of movement on the screen. When
the position of v-blanking is not adjusted
correctly, a horizontal black bar appears on
the screen.
Video gain
Amount of amplification for video signals,
expressed in decibels (dB).
VITC
Abbreviation of “Vertical Interval Time
Code”. This timecode is inserted in the
vertical blanking interval and recorded on
the video tracks. It can be read at low
speeds and during still playback, but not
during high-speed playback.
See also “LTC”.
Y signal
See “Luminance signal”.
