Sony UVW-1800, Руководство по эксплуатации

Страница: 5 / 83

To take best advantage of the many features of this unit, note the following
important points.
Usable cassette tapes (see page 3-3(E))
Use only metal cassette tapes with this unit. Do not use oxide tapes.
Reference video input (see page 3-5(E))
When recording or playing back videotapes on this unit, always input a composite
video signal synchronized with the video signal to be used to the REF. VIDEO
INPUT connector. Especially when recording and editing, failure to input a
reference video signal to the REF. VIDEO INPUT connector will prevent the built-
in time base corrector (TBC) from functioning correctly, causing picture breakup.
Even if you are recording only audio signal or time code, do not fail to input a
reference video signal.
Input video signal type selection (see page 4-5(E))
For recording, it is important that the VIDEO IN switch on the subsidiary control
panel is correctly set to match the type of video signal input. In particular, when
inputting a component signal, set this switch to the "Y-R,B" position, and set the
component signal input connector selection switch on the rear panel to the
appropriate position. If these switches are not set correctly, not only will recording
not be possible, but the input signal will also not appear on the monitor.
Setting the cassette record-inhibit plug (see page 3-4(E))
Recording on a cassette is impossible when its record-inhibit plug is pushed in. If
the record-inhibit plug is pushed in on the cassette you are going to use, either use
a new tape, or pull out the plug and use the tape after making sure that it contains
no important material.
Controlling tape transport remotely (see page 7-3(E))
The tape transport buttons on this unit are normally disabled when the REMOTE
indicator is lit. However, you can use these buttons if you set the LOCAL
ENABLE menu item to ALL ENABLE. The factory default setting for this item is
STOP & EJECT.
Storing in a rack
When installing this unit in a standard 19-inch rack, you can stack up to three units
in one rack. When stacking four or more units, be sure to leave space equivalent to
one unit height, or 44.45 mm (1 3/4 inches) between units.
