An abbreviation for Electric-to-Electric mode. In this mode, video or audio
input signals are passed and output only through the VTR's internal
18
2-1 Control Panel
circuitry, and not through the magnetic conversion system comprising tape
and heads.
Note on faulty pixels on the LCD panel
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with
high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel
ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of
pixels maybe "stuck", either always off (black), always
on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a
long period of use, because of the physical characteristics
of the liquid crystal display, such "stuck" pixels may
appear spontaneously. These problems are not a
malfunction. Note that any such problems have no effect
on recorded data.
