This enables signals to be input and output using the
IEEE1394 digital interface. Use a 6-pin type of connector.
Bus power is not supported.

Analog composite video signals are output from this connector.

Video signals with information superimposed on them
can be output.  To set the superimposing to ON or OFF,
use the SUPER switch 

on the front panel.

The playback signal from the PCM audio signals (CH1
and CH2) are output from these connectors.

This fan is used to cool down the VTR.

If, for any reason, the fan stops, “E-10” will appear on the
counter display.

Connect one end of the power cord supplied to this

socket and the other end to the power outlet.

This is connected to the signal ground terminal on the
component connected to this VTR in order to minimize
noise. It is not a safety ground.

Digital component audio/video signals complying with the
SMPTE 259M-C standard are input to and output from
these connectors.
Note:
The digital audio signals to be input must be
synchronized with the video input signals. Otherwise,
noise will be generated in the audio output signals.

The signals which are to be supplied to these connectors
are selected as follows by setting the INPUT SELECT
button on the front panel.
Y P

: Analog component video signals are input.

CMPST: Analog composite video signals are input using

the VIDEO/Y connector 

.

S-VIDEO: S-Video (Y/C separated) signals are input using the

VIDEO/Y connector 

and PB/C connector 

.

Note:
The wide ID superimposed on the input signals is not detected.

The signals which are to be output from these connectors
are selected as follows by setting the ANALOG VIDEO
OUT selector switch 

.

Analog component video signals are output.

Two sets of analog composite video signals are output from
connectors and .

S-Video (Y/C separated) signals are output from
connectors and .

Note:
The wide ID is not superimposed onto the output signals.

Set this switch to the Y P

position (bottom) when using

the ANALOG VIDEO OUT connectors for component video
output, set to the VIDEO1 VIDEO2 position (top) when
using for composite video output, and set to the middle
position when using for S-Video (Y/C separated) output.

This is the input connector for the reference video 
signal. Input a signal with color burst.
Note: 
Since the video or audio output signal may be  disrupted
if the reference video signal is not input, it is
recommended that this connector be used by the system
which supplies the reference video signals.
Use a signal where SCH does not fluctuate for the
reference video signal.

This is the loop-through output connector of the REF
VIDEO IN connector 

. When a cable is not connected

to this connector, the REF VIDEO IN connector 

is

automatically terminated by the 75 

Ω resistance.  When a

cable is connected, the 75 

Ω termination is released.

This connector is used for recording the external time
code onto the tape.

The playback time code is output from this connector during
playback. During recording, the time code generated by the
internal time code generator is output.

This enables the unit to be connected to the external remote
controller for operation from an external source.

Notes:
• Set the CONTROL switch 

to REMOTE.

• The specifications are based on the RS-422A interface,

and editing-related functions do not work. In this case,
use it as a player.

The analog audio signals are input from these
connectors.

The analog audio signals are output from these
connectors.
