FEATURES
Down-conversion Playback Capabilities
The HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU can convert material from 1080i
down to 480i and 576i, and output these video signals through
its i.LINK interface. In addition, these signals can be output via
the other connectors. This allows users to edit recorded
material with a compatible nonlinear editing system using
current DV editing software, as well as record SD signals to an
external VTR. Video material can also be down-converted to
480P and 576P (as well as 720P on the HVR-M35U/HVR-M25AU),
and output via the VTR's SDI (on the HVR-M35U), HDMI (on the
HVR-M25AU) or analog component video connector. When
down-converting these signals, the aspect ratio displayed can
be converted from 16:9 to 4:3. Display modes can be
selected from Squeeze, Letterbox

Squeezed SD Video Image
Output Type can be Selected.
The HVR-M35U can convert squeezed SD video images to
edge-cropped or letterbox video images for output. This
function is convenient when viewing the squeezed SD video
image on an SD monitor with 4:3 screen aspect ratio.
4 When outputting down-converted signals in the 4:3 aspect ratio via an i.LINK connector, the Letterbox mode cannot be selected.

designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394 connector. Not all products with an i.LINK connector will necessarily communicate with each other. For information on compatibility, operating
conditions, and proper connection, please refer to the documentation supplied with any device with an i.LINK connector. For information on devices that include an i.LINK connection, please
contact your nearest Sony office.

HDV Four Channel Audio Playback
M25A M15A
The HVR-M35U can play back four-channel audio recorded
with the HVR-S270U shoulder-mount camcorder. The audio
data is output via an AES/EBU output terminal. Also the audio
data is embedded in the i.LINK or the HD/SD-SDI output signal.
Edge Crop Adjust
When down-converting signals in the Edge Crop mode,
the HVR-M35U/M25AU's Edge Crop Adjust function is
provided to adjust the edge crop position. By displaying
the edge crop marker on the LCD monitor, operators can
conveniently check the edge crop position before
outputting down-converted signals.

Auto Repeat and Custom Repeat
The HVR-M35U/M25AU/M15AU has a convenient auto
repeat function. This enables the VTR to automatically
rewind the tape to either the beginning of the tape, the first
complete blank portion, or an index point on the tape, and
start playback again from there

M35U/M25AU has a Custom Repeat function that allows
operators to set the number of repeat playbacks, the
interval between each playback, and the hour at which the
playback should begin.
