Chapter 1   Overview

• When you change the video format setting of

[HDMI/CMPNT] and [DOWN COVERT] of
[VIDEO OUT] in [IN/OUT REC] menu, [ALLSCAN
MODE] in [DISPLAY SET] menu, or [HDV 

t DV

CONV] and [DOWN CONVERT] in [i.LINK SET],
the image may be distorted for a moment. Also, the
above settings may cause the restrictions on the video
output of the unit.

• When you change the video format setting of

[HDMI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in [IN/OUT
REC] menu, the video signals output from S VIDEO
OUT jack, VIDEO OUT jack, or   HDV/DV jack
may be distorted.

• The unit is only compatible with standard video

signals. If you input the types of video signals shown
below, recorded picture and sound may be distorted.
– Signals from some home game machines
– Blue background screen or gray background screen

from a consumer VCR

– Pictures played at a speed other than normal by a

VCR that does not have the TBC (Time Base
Corrector)

– Video signals in which the sync signals are

distorted

– Signals from a defective cassette (tape or recording

condition is bad) played by an analog VCR that
does not have TBC

• To absorb the jitter of input video signals, the

distortion of video signals are processed in the
underscan portion. You may see this procedure on an
underscan monitor, yet this is not a malfunction.
Also, the picture recorded on the tape will not be
affected.

• During recording or in EE mode, the subcarrier of the

color signal to be output from the unit is not
synchronized with the horizontal sync signal. The
color of the picture or the horizontal position of the
picture may be distorted depending on the type of
monitor connected to the unit.

• To output video signals to VIDEO, S VIDEO, or

COMPONENT OUT jacks without text data, set
DISPLAY OUTPUT switch to OFF, or press DATA
CODE or SEARCH SELECT button on the remote
commander.
