1-14-1. Recorder

For each reference signal of the recorder, either of an
external reference video signal (*3) or input video signal
(*4) is automatically selected according to the setting of
function menu item OUT REF, the setting of setup menu
ITEM-309, and the operation mode (PB/EDIT/REC) of
this unit. (Refer to the table 1-14-1 below.)
In case of DVW series and MSW series, the reference
signal (clock) of an analog video signal in an A/D convert-
er regards the analog video signal itself as a reference
signal under any setting.

. To select the video input, open the HOME page on the
function screen and use the F1 button (VID. IN).
. To set the OUT REF, open the P4 page (MISCELLA-
NEOUS) on the function screen and use the F2 button
(OUTREF).
Audio Signal Independent Recording
Even if an input video signal is selected as the reference
signal, the reference signal is automatically selected to an
external reference video signal for the period in which the
no input video signal is input. When no external reference
video signal is input, the internal-generated reference
signal is automatically selected for the period.
An audio signal can be independently recorded by this
system even if no reference video signal is input from the
outside.
n
In the case of DVW series and MSW series, when the
setup menu ITEM-185 (AUDIO SAMPLING RATE
CONVERTER) set to "44 kHz" or "32 kHz", an audio
signal can be independently recorded.
