REC MODE
Switches the recording mode between DVCAM and DV (SP mode only). When you play
back a tape, the DVCAM/DV setting will be automatically switched; you do not need to use
this item.
DVCAM : Records in DVCAM format.
DV SP: Records in DV format (SP mode).
Notes
• This unit is not compatible with playing or recording in LP mode of the consumer DV format.
• You cannot change the setting while recording.
• It is recommended that you record in the DVCAM format. There are some limitations with
respect to DV recording depending on machine specifications and the consumer DV
format as follows:
– The head system is optimized for DVCAM recording. A DV recording overwrites the last
track just before the beginning of the recording. As a result, at the border of these two
recorded portions, picture and sound may be distorted.
– The sound will be recorded unsynchronized. (unlock mode)
– The time code is fixed to the drop frame mode. (only for NTSC)
– The DV IN TC setting on the OTHERS menu turns invalid. The unit records internal time
code.
• If you dub a consumer DV tape from the DV IN/OUT connector on this unit, keep the
following in mind:
– Set the REC MODE to DV SP. If the REC MODE has been set to DVCAM, a tape with
an invalid format (recording speed: DVCAM, sound: unsynchronized, unlock mode) will
be made. (The unit cannot convert unlock mode sound to lock mode sound.)
– If you edit a tape with an invalid format in the DSR-70/70P, DSR-80/80P, DSR-85/85P,
DSR-2000/2000P, etc., there may be some restrictions.
For details on DVCAM/DV format compatibility, see “Compatibility of DVCAM and DV
Format” on page 55 (GB).
FF/REW SPD Selects the tape transport mode in fast-forward and rewind.
FF/REW : Fast-forwards or rewinds the tape at maximum speed without displaying the
picture.
SHUTTLEMAX: Fast-forwards or rewinds the tape at maximum speed (about 14 times
normal speed for NTSC; about 17 times normal speed for PAL) while displaying the
picture.
STILL TIME
Selects the time to switch to the tape protection mode from the still mode.
30 SEC: 30 seconds
1 MIN : 1 minute
2 MIN: 2 minutes
3 MIN: 3 minutes
5 MIN: 5 minutes
Notes
• If the unit is left in playback pause mode for a long time, the tape or the video heads may
be damaged or the video heads may become clogged. Select the shortest time possible
—particularly when using a Mini-DV cassette that is longer than 60 minutes, select 30
SEC or 1 MIN.
• When the setting is changed, the first tape protection mode change uses the time setting
from before the settings were changed. From the second tape protection mode change,
the new time setting is used.

Initial settings are indicated with rectangles.
