Chapter 3 Using the Unit as a Player in an Editing System
If you use the unit in an editing system, the following functions are
limited.
Notes on general
• Component signals are only output during playback or when selecting
DV input. This unit cannot be used as a converter from analog input to
component output.
• This unit is not equipped with the synchronization function. Adjust the
edit timing with the editing controller, and set sync grade to Preroll &
Play.
• Pause mode will be released after the chosen time in the menu to protect
the tape except when using the unit in an editing system.
• When the TIMER switch is set to REPEAT, and the tape reaches to its
end point by fast-forwarding, the jog dial control is not available from
external equipment connected to the REMOTE connector.
• You cannot change input signal selection during playback or playback
pause mode.
• When S-video or video input is selected and no signal is input in search
mode, the search screen becomes unstable.
• When the tape reaches to its beginning or end using the REW or F FWD
button, the unit turns to playback pause mode at the point in a few
preceding seconds from its beginning or end.
Notes on connection
• When you use this unit as a recorder of a system with the FXE-120
whose version is 1.0, this unit cannot be used in the drop frame system.
If you want to use it in the drop frame system, upgrade the FXE-120 to
version 1.01 (Only for DSR-40).
• When inputting a composite or S-video signal, a composite or S-video
output signal in EE mode is a through signal of the input.
•When inputting a composite or S-video signal, a component signal in EE
mode is not output. Component output is only available during playback
or when selecting DV input.
• If the unit turns off when AUTO OFF has been set to OFF, the
operations cannot be available with equipment connected to the
REMOTE connector. Turn on the power again and perform the
operation.
• When inputting a DV signal, and outputting a composite or S-video
signal in EE mode, only the color burst signal is exchanged.
• When inputting a DV signal, the unit does not perform a playback
synchronized with the external sync signal. This playback is only
available when selecting S-video or video input.
Notes on editing
• With the DV connection, the editing accuracy is less than analog editing
accuracy.
• This unit is not equipped with the first edit function.
• Since this unit does not support CTL, the time code of the recorded tape
becomes out of sequence and you cannot use it for editing. In such case,
adjust the editing IN point.
