5 DISPLAY FULL/FINE switch
This switches the audio level meter 2 display as
follows:
FULL: The display covers the range –60 dB to 0 dB
or –40 dB to +20 dB as selected using extended
menu item 806.
In this mode the segment of the display
corresponding to the current audio level and all
lower segments light.
FINE: The display is enlarged, with a step of 0.25
dB. A segment indicating the reference level
lights.
In this mode only the segment of the display
corresponding to the current audio level lights. If
the audio level exceeds the maximum display
level, the top segment flashes, and if the audio
level goes below the minimum display level, the
bottom segment flashes.
6 PHONES jack and control
Connect stereo headphones with an impedance of 8
ohms, to monitor the sound during playback and
editing.
The control knob adjusts the volume.
It is possible to make a setting so that the output
volume from the MONITOR OUTPUT connectors is
controlled simultaneously.
In order that the output volume from the MONITOR
OUTPUT connectors can be controlled simultaneously, an
internal board switch setting is required. For details, refer
to the Maintenance Manual Part 1.

1) LTC: abbreviation of Longitudinal Time code. This
time code is recorded on a longitudinal track on the tape.
Reading is unreliable at low speeds, and not possible at
all during still playback.
2) VITC: abbreviation of Vertical Interval Time code.
This is inserted in the vertical blanking interval and
recorded on the video tracks. It can be read at low
speeds and during still playback, but not during high-
speed playback.

When AUTO is selected, the time code displayed is
VITC with the tape transport speed up to half-speed,
and LTC with the tape transport speed more than half-
speed.
DF/NDF (drop-frame/non-drop-frame) switch and

In a 525/60 system, this switch selects the
mode of advancing the time code generator and CTL
counter.

DF: Drop-frame mode.
NDF: Non-drop-frame mode.

8 REMOTE/LOCAL switch and indicator
To control this unit from a device connected to the
REMOTE (9P) connector, press this switch, turning
the 9P indicator on.
3) Drop-frame/non-drop-frame mode: In the NTSC
system, the actual frame rate is 29.97 frames per second.
There is therefore a cumulative discrepancy between the
actual frame rate and the 30 frames per second rate on
which time code is based. In drop-frame mode, except
once every 10 minutes, the first two frames are skipped
at the beginning of each minute to keep the time code
values in step with actual elapsed time. In non-drop-
frame mode, the correction is not carried out, and there is
a discrepancy of about 86 seconds per day between
actual elapsed time and time code values.
