• 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 

images from a consumer VCR

– Pictures played at a speed other than normal by a 

VCR that does not have 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

• When DVCAM/DV signals which are input from the 

HDV/DV jack, or video signals which are from the 

VIDEO IN jacks or S VIDEO IN jacks, are output to 
each analog output jack, the distortion of the video 
signals occurs at the bottom of the TV monitor display 
due to the jitter. Depending on the display area of the 
TV monitor you have, the distortion of the picture may 
appear at the bottom of the screen. This is not a 
malfunction.
Pictures may be distorted or not be displayed 
depending on the TV monitors. This will not appear 
while recording with the unit.
Be aware of these phenomena when you connect other 
recording device via the analog jacks of the unit.

• Depending on the TV monitor being connected, the 

screen may blink or be distorted when DVCAM/DV 
signals which are input from the  HDV/DV jack, or 
video signals which are from the VIDEO IN jacks or 
S VIDEO IN jacks, are output to the VIDEO OUT 
jacks.
Be aware of these phenomena when you connect other 
recording device to these jacks. This will not appear 
while recording with the unit.

• 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 the VIDEO, S VIDEO, or 

COMPONENT OUT jacks without text data, set the 
DISPLAY OUTPUT switch to OFF, or press the
