When the monitor is connected to the
remote control unit
The MONITOR connector (BNC type) of the RM-B150/
B750 outputs the same signal as that from the MONITOR
OUT connector on the camcorder.
Use the black cable supplied with the RM-B150/B750 to
connect the monitor to the MONITOR connector on the
RM-B150/B750.
When the remote control unit is
disconnected from the camcorder
The camcorder settings return to the settings in effect
before the remote control unit was connected.
By making a menu setting, the setting of the paint
adjustment made with the remote control unit can be
retained even after the remote control unit is removed from
the camcorder.
For details, see "To use settings of the paint adjustment
data stored in the "independent data region" even when a
remote control unit is connected" on page 40.
Structure of the paint adjustment data
The non-volatile memory of the camcorder used for
storing paint adjustment data consists of two regions as
shown below: one is the "independent data region" that is
used when a remote control unit is not connected, and the
other is the "remote control data region" that is used when
a remote control unit is connected. Paint adjustment data is
automatically selected and output to the camcorder
depending on whether or not a remote control unit, such as
an RM-B150, is connected.

Thus, when a remote control unit is connected to the
camcorder, the effective data region is switched to the
"remote control data region" and the settings of the paint
adjustment that were in effect last time the remote control
unit was used are recalled.
Settings of the absolute value volume
2)
switches are overwritten by those on the remote control
unit after the remote control unit is connected.
When the remote control unit is removed from the
camcorder, the "independent data region" becomes
effective. Thus the camcorder will return to the settings
that were in effect before the remote control unit was
connected.
1) Absolute value volume: The data corresponding to the rotation degree
(position) of the volume knob is output. The data corresponding to the
rotation amount (change) is called the relative value volume.
2) Absolute value switch: Toggle switches or slide switches (except the
temporary switches) (or controls) whose positions must coincide with their
functions are called absolute value switches.
