8.
The VTR cannot be
controlled during
recording.
If the VTR cannot be controlled in recording mode, check the
VTR control display.
(1)
If the “disconnect” message is displayed, a defective 9-pin
cable* may be to blame.
* Use a crossover cable which is meant exclusively for the
VTR. Do not use a crossover cable which is meant for use
with a PC.
(2)
If “local” is displayed, there is nothing wrong with the
connections, but it means that the VTR has not been set to
REMOTE mode. Set the VTR to REMOTE mode.
(3) If the problem cannot be remedied, contact the FOR-A Service
Center.
9.
When recording at
the REM.1 setting,
the VTR can be
automatically
controlled but
recording does not
start at the IN point.
If, when recording at the REM.1 setting, the VTR can be
automatically controlled but recording does not start at the IN
point, the ancillary time code may not be present in the SDI
signals. This symptom occurs with digital β-cam VTRs, etc.
(1) Select settings to input the LTC output signals from the VTR to
the LTR recorder and to use LTC signals. (For details on the
setting method, refer to “4-7-4. Input Signal Settings Screen.”)
10. When recording at the
REM.2 setting,
recording does not
start at the IN point.
If, when recording at the REM.2 setting, recording does not
start at the IN point, the ancillary time code may not be
present in the SDI signals. This symptom occurs with digital
β-cam VTRs, etc.
(1) Select setting to input LTC output signals from the VTR to the
LTR recorder and to use LTC signals. (For details on the
setting method, refer to “4-7-4. Input Signal Settings Screen.”)
11. When recording at the
MANUAL setting,
recording ends even
when STOP is not
pressed.
If, when recording at the MANUAL setting, recording ends
even when STOP is not pressed, a short time interval may
have been selected for the DURATION. During MANUAL
recording, recording will continue for the time specified by
DURATION. For an operation in which the [STOP] button is
pressed to stop recording, select a sufficiently long time
setting for DURATION.
12. Input video time code
is not displayed.
If no time code is displayed on the screen although input video has
time code data, verify that the LTO tape is correctly mounted.
Time codes in input video are displayed only when LTO tapes are
properly mounted.
13.
“C” is displayed in
the SCD (next to the
LTO drive).
If a
□
C appears on the Single-character Display after ejecting a
tape, the LTO drive needs head cleaning. Insert the cleaning
cartridge in to the tape drive. The drive automatically cleans and
ejects the cartridge when cleaning has finished.
The maximum number of cleanings is defined for cleaning
tapes. If the number of cleanings for a tape has been
exceeded, the tape will be ejected immediately. Prepare a
new cleaning tape.
Although LTO tapes can be read or written while
a “C”
indication is displayed, clean the drive head as fast as
possible because errors are likely to occur.
Regular cleaning of the drive head is not recommended.
Clean the head only when a ”C” appears on the SCD.
