The unit can output to each video jack and display a 4:3 
screen marker on 16:9 screen images. When you make 
an editing tape from an original tape, the MARKER 
BURN function can be used.

Set [MARKER BURN] in the [DISPLAY SET] menu to 
[ON] (page 75).

• MARKER BURN is effective under the following 

conditions.
– While playing back a tape in HDV or while an HDV 

signal is input via the   HDV/DV jack, and [DOWN 
CONVERT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT 
REC] menu is set to [SQUEEZE] or [LETTER 
BOX]

– When wide signals recorded in DVCAM or DV 

format are played back, or wide screen HDV/
DVCAM/DV signals are input to each VIDEO jack

• While an HDV signal is input via the   HDV/DV jack, 

and [DOWN CONVERT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the 
[IN/OUT REC] menu is set to [EDGE CROP], the 
marker can not be displayed.

• The markers displayed with EDGE CROP MARKER 

and MARKER BURN show the available horizontal 
ratio range of the 4:3 screen to be cropped. The 
displayable image size of the standard 4:3 TV monitor 
may appear smaller than the size marked on the 
monitor of the unit.

• When EDGE CROP MARKER and MARKER BURN 

are enabled at the same time, EDGE CROP MARKER 
is given priority.

•  When you set [MARKER BURN] and [ALLSCAN 

MODE] in the [DISPLAY SET] menu to [ON] at the 
same time, the marker will not appear in the correct 
position on the LCD monitor. This is not a 
malfunction. The marker will be output correctly via 
each video jack.
