Monitor problems
Symptom Cause Remedy
Data is not
superimposed on the
monitor screen. The CHARA. DISPLAY menu item is
set to OFF. Set the CHARA. DISPLAY menu item (see page 60) to ON.
The monitor is not connected to the
B
−
Y/CPST (SUPER) connector of this
unit.
Connect the monitor to the B
−
Y/CPST (SUPER) connector.
(You must make this connection to display any type of text on
the monitor.)
The image on the
monitor screen is too
bright. The 75
Ω
termination switch for video
input on the monitor is in the OFF
position, or a 75
Ω
terminator is not
fitted to its video input connector.
Set the 75
Ω
termination switch to ON or connect a
terminator.
The image on the
monitor screen is too
dark. In a video signal loop-through
connection of video monitors, 75
Ω
termination switches for video input on
monitors other than the loop-end
monitor are in the ON position.
Set the 75
Ω
termination switches to OFF on all monitors
other than the loop-end monitor.
The image is too dark
when recording a
composite video
signal.
Audio problem
Symptom Cause Remedy
The REC/PB LEVEL
control knobs do not
work. The VAR switch on the front panel is
set to PRESET. Set the VAR switch to REC when recording, or set it to PB
when playing back.
Editing restriction
Symptom Cause
Execution of video
editing in insert mode
erases subcode data
(user bit data, etc.)
recorded on tape other
than time code data. This phenomenon cannot be avoided with an editing system using this unit as the recorder.
