Recording Procedure
This section describes the procedure to perform a recording on this unit,
showing an example session in which playback signals coming from a
player VCR will be recorded on the tape loaded in the unit.
Notes

LOCAL switch to “REMOTE”. When not, set the switch to “LOCAL”.
• If you intend to use a tape recorded on this unit in a system comprising a
DSR-85/85P and an ES-7 EditStation, it is recommended to record color
bars on at least the first 40 seconds of the tape.
When transferring digital signals from the DSR-85/85P to the ES-7
EditStation at quadruple speed, there must be recording for
approximately 40 seconds before the IN point.
