This VTR comes already programmed with menus that correspond to specific operating objectives, and the
operations performed on each differ from one menu to another. When a menu is selected using a menu se-
lection button, what appears on the display changes, and the function keys (F1 to F13) also implement the
function corresponding to the respective menu items.
SET UP menus are provided in order for the user to have settings on hand for the seldom used functions, etc.
among the various menu items.
The HOME menu is provided as the VTR’s basic menu. It automatically appears on the display when the
power has been turned on. (However, the IC CARD menu will automatically appear if an IC card has been in-
serted.)

Sync play.
Description
Automatically compensates for the start initiated for the playback
mode. For instance, when the VTR is set to the playback mode
from the preroll point, it synchronizes its own phase to ensure
that the tape arrives at the IN point after the preroll time has
elapsed. (The function takes effect only when the front panel
controls are used for operation.)

OFF: Normal playback is assumed.

speeds. If the tape material image has a scene
cutoff when moving from No. 2 field to No. 1 field,
as when editing with the No. 1 field as cutoff, use
FRAME 1.
Use Frame 2 when the No. 2 field is the scene

in the color frame during playback, the unit locks again at a new
color frame.
4F FORCE (8F FORCE: 1080/23p, 1080/24p, 1080/50i):
Assumes color frame forced lock mode. If there is any
discontinuity in the color frame during playback, the unit
preserves the field sequence at initial lock.

AUTO:
Generator locks at the value read out by the
reader. In this case there is no time code setting.
(Only during editing.) During normal recording,
however, any setting of the generator can be
performed.
PRESET: Generator does not lock at the value read out by
the reader. Generator can be set freely.
SLAVE:
The generator is locked to the reader’s readout
value. In this case, the time code cannot be set.
≥When the F1 (SOURCE) key is at [TEXT LTC], SALVE and
DIRECT are displayed.
SLAVE: Generator locks to external LTC time code.
(When there is no external input, E-TC time data
blinks. )
DIRECT: External LTC time code is recorded as is.
(When there is no external input, E-TC: ¢ ¢:¢ ¢:
¢ ¢:¢ ¢ are displayed.)
≥When the F1 key is at [S VITC], [S LTC] or [EXT VITC], this key
is not displayed.
In this case, the generator value typically locks to external VITC
or LTC time code.
F3
UB SLAVE
User bit lock.
ON: User bit locks to user bit value read by reader (TCR) or to
external user bit value, and cannot be set.
OFF: Generator does not lock to value read out by reader. User
bit value can be set freely.

RUN MD
Time code progress.
REC RUN: Runs the TC only while recording is in progress.
FREE RUN: Runs the TC all the time in the same way as a
clock.
DF MD°
For selecting drop or
non-drop frame.
Valid only when the F1 (SOURCE) key selects [INT].
ON: Drop frame mode is set.
OFF: Non-drop frame mode is set.
≥When [EXT LTC], [S VITC] or [S LTC] is selected in the F1
key, the VTR conforms to drop/non-drop frame mode of
external time code.
°This is not displayed when the 1080/23p, 1080/24p or 1080/50i system format has been selected.

°The user bit can be set in all modes except for recording.
DIRECT:
REGEN:
The external LTC input signal is recorded directly and output.
It is not synchronized with the internal reference signal.
The user bit is slave-locked to the value read out on the tape.
The user bit cannot be set.
EXT REGEN: The user bit is slave-locked to the externally input VITC or LTC.
The user bit cannot be set.
PRESET:
INT UB:
The user bit is not locked to the value read out on the tape or external input.
The user bit can be set.
In this mode, the previous user bit is retained, and neither the REGEN nor PRESET functions
can be implemented.
To set the user bit again, use the F1 (SOURCE), F2 (TC SLAVE) or F3 (UB SLAVE) key to
select one of the three modes above.
