Connections for a Cut Editing System

When using a VCR other than the DSR-1800/1800P, refer 
to its instruction manual.
Settings on the DSR-1800/1800Ps (recorder and

About reference video signals
In order to provide stable video and audio signals for 
analog editing, it is necessary for the built-in time base 
corrector (TBC) to operate correctly. To ensure this, input 
a reference video signal synchronized with the video signal 
to the REF. VIDEO IN connector.
