Chapter 5: Recording/Playback

<Note>: 

You cannot make pull up or down setting when the time code frame rate is

set to 25 fps. If you select "+0.1%" or "-0.1%" when the frame rate is set to 25 fps,
"+0.1%" or "-0.1%" is shown in the "UP/DW" field.

You can also make the pull up/pull down setting via the "Pull up/down" menu item in the
"SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 145 for details).

You can select the prior power source when the unit can get power from both the battery and
[DC-IN] connection.

<Note>: 

Only the available power source(s) can be selected. When only one power

source is available, it is automatically selected.

BATT1, BATT2, DC-IN

You can also select the prior power source via the "Active battery" and "Power priority" items
in the "BATTERY SETUP" menu of the MENU mode. (see page s 174 and 175)

In the MENU mode, you can set many items besides those you can set via the quick setup mode.
Set the items in the MENU mode for recording/playback shown below if required.

Before recording, you need to select the recording source for each channel appropriately.

By default, the recording sources for channels 1 through 6 are set to "Digital". Therefore, if
an input channel receives a correct digital signal and locks to it, you can record the digital
signal. (If no correct digital signal is available, the analog input is effective.) For the stereo L/
R channels, you can select the recording source between digital input 7-8 and the stereo bus.

You can select the recording source via the "Rec source sel" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of
the MENU mode (see page 146).

You can select whether you record pre or post fader signals to tracks 1 through 6.

By default "pre fader" is selected, so signals are directly sent to tracks 1 through 6 without
being affected by the [SEND LEVEL] controls.
If you select "post fader", each input signal is sent to the corresponding track after being
controlled by the [SEND LEVEL] control.

You can select pre or post fader via the "Disk Feed" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the
MENU mode (see page 169).
