DSR-45/45P
1 TC (time code) connectors (BNC-type)
Used to input or output time code.
TC IN (time code input) connector: Connects to the
time code output connector on external devices
such as a time code generator or a VCR. Use this
connector to synchronize the internal time code
generator of this unit with an external time code.
Note
The unit can read the time code input to this
connector only when the time code is output at
normal play speed.
TC OUT (time code output) connector: Connects
to the time code input connector on external
devices such as a time code reader or a VCR.
The unit outputs the time code depending on the
operating state as follows:
Playing: The time code on the tape is output.
Recording: Either the time code generated by the
internal time code generator or the time code
input from a device connected to the TC IN
connector is output.
For details, see "DSR-45/45P time codes" on page 63
(GB).
Note
If JOG TC OUT on the TC/UB SET menu has
been set to ON, the time code is output during
search mode, but the output time code is not
continuous.
2 DV jack (4-pin)
Used to input/output the digital signal that complies
with the i.LINK standard (Recommended cable: VMC-
IL4415 (A), VMC-IL4615 (A)). Use when a device
connected to the unit has a DV jack. If you connect the
unit and another device using DV jacks, you can
minimize deterioration of picture quality during
recording, dubbing, or capturing still pictures, all by
means of digital signal processing. For details, refer to
the instruction manual of the external device.
Notes
• If video signals have been input to the DV jack and
you output these video signals to the MONITOR
VIDEO, VIDEO OUT, or S VIDEO OUT
connectors, the sync and burst of the corresponding
EE pictures are not synchronized.
• i.LINK and the i.LINK logo " " are trademarks and
indicate that this product is in agreement with IEEE
1394-1995 specifications and their revisions.
• This jack can accept only DV signals.
• If the unit is connected to a device equipped with a 6-
pin DV jack, when you intend to disconnect or
reconnect the DV cable, turn off the device and pull
2 Audio signal input/output section
1 INPUT LEVEL selector
2 AUDIO IN jacks
1 INPUT LEVEL (–10/–2/+4) selector
Selects one from among –10 dB, –2 dB, or +4 dB
according to the audio level of the signal input via the
AUDIO IN jacks 2.
Note
If this selector setting is not appropriate, clipping
distortion or noise may occur even if the AUDIO
INPUT switch has been set to AUTO.
For more information on the setting of this selector, see
"When you set the INPUT LEVEL selector" on page 96
(GB).
2 AUDIO IN CH-1 to CH-4 jacks (phono jack)
Inputs audio signals (CH-1 to CH-4).
Note
To input balanced audio signals via these jacks, use a
conversion cable as shown below. (The COLD side is
open.)
For details on conversion cables, refer to the instruction
manual of the devices you use.

out the plug of its power cord from the AC outlet
beforehand. If you connect or disconnect the DV
cable while the device is connected to the AC outlet,
high-voltage current (8 to 40 V) is output from the
DV jack of the device to this unit, which may cause a
malfunction.
• When connecting a device that has a 6-pin DV jack to
this unit, first, connect the plug of the cable to the 6-
pin DV jack.
3 AC IN connector
Connects to an AC outlet using the supplied power
cord.
Even if the unit is in the standby mode, it consumes
power. To turn the unit off completely, pull the plug
out from the AC outlet.
4 CONTROL S IN jack (stereo minijack)
Connects to the Remote Control Unit (DSRM-20, not
supplied) for controlling this unit.
Notes
• When using the Remote Control Unit (DSRM-20, not
supplied), set COMMANDER on the OTHERS menu
to CONTROL S.
• If the REMOTE/LOCAL switch is set to REMOTE,
the control of a device connected to the CONTROL S
jack is restricted by the setting of LOCAL ENBL on
the REMOTE menu.
5 MONITOR jacks (phono jack)
Output video and audio signals for monitoring.
MONITOR VIDEO jack: Outputs composite video
signals. Connect the input jack of an external
monitor to this jack. When you set the
CHARACTER DISPLAY (MONITOR OUT)
switch on the front panel to ON, data items such
as time data, menus or alarm messages are
superimposed on the external monitor.
For details on the superimposed data items, see
"Displaying Various Data" on page 27 (GB).
Notes
• When video sync signals of the EE pictures output
from the MONITOR VIDEO jack, sync and burst are
not synchronized.
• The video signal output from this connector is not
synchronized with the video signal output from the
line-out connectors (COMPONENT OUT, S VIDEO
OUT, VIDEO OUT). When the unit is in the EE
mode, the output pictures are delayed by several
lines. When played back, the picture is not exactly
externally synchronized — only vertically
synchronized. You cannot adjust the sync and
subcarrier phases.

Location and Function of Parts
• If DV input has been selected, color and luminance
may be distorted in the EE mode, depending on the
monitor.
• The data items superimposed on a monitor connected
to this jack are the same as the items superimposed
on the LCD monitor.
You cannot make two monitors display different data
items individually.
• The adjustment of PB LEVEL on the VIDEO SET
menu does not affect the MONITOR VIDEO output.
• While the unit is externally synchronized, the sync
signal frequency and the burst signals of the video
signals output to the LCD monitor and the
MONITOR VIDEO jack are not synchronized.
Therefore, jitter may appear on those output signals.
1 Video signal input/output section
Note
The unit can only accept standard video signals.
If you input the types of video signals shown below,
recorded picture, sound, and the EE picture output
via the VIDEO OUT, S VIDEO OUT and
COMPONENT OUT connectors may be distorted.
• Signals from some home game machines
• Blue background screen or gray background screen
from a consumer VCR
1 S VIDEO connectors
2 VIDEO connectors
1 S VIDEO connectors (4-pin)
Inputs/Outputs the S-video signal with Y (luminance)
and the C (chroma: 3.58 MHz for DSR-45 and 4.43
MHz for DSR-45P) separated.
2 VIDEO connectors (BNC-type)
VIDEO IN REF.IN (reference video / composite
video input) connector:
Inputs composite video signals to this unit. When
performing a playback synchronized with an
external sync signal, this connector inputs a
reference video (black burst) signal.

1 RS-232C connector
2 RS-422A connector
Notes
• When controlling the unit using a device connected to
the RS-232C connector 1 or the RS-422A connector
2, set the REMOTE/LOCAL switch on the front
panel to REMOTE. (Regardless of the setting of the
REMOTE/LOCAL switch, you can use a device
connected to the LANC jack 3 to control the unit.)
• Even when the DSR-45 plays back a PAL formatted
tape (or the DSR-45P plays back an NTSC formatted
tape), you can control the basic tape transport
functions using a device connected to the RS-232C
connector 1 or the RS-422A connector 2.
However, editing operations attempted in this case
are not guaranteed.
• For editing, if you intend to use this unit as a recorder
and to use the FXE-120/120P or the FXE-100/100P
upgraded by installing the FXE-KIT1 as an editing
controller, you also need to use the IF-FXE2 LANC
Interface Box.
1 RS-232C connector (9-pin)
Use when controlling the unit using an editing
controller or a computer that has an RS-232C
interface.
Note
For editing, if you intend to use this unit as a player
and the FXE-120/120P or FXE-100/100P as an editing
controller, set the baud rate of both devices to 19200
bps.

controller that has an RS-422A interface.
3 LANC jack
Use when controlling the tape transport operation of
the unit using a device that has a LANC
1)
jack.
Notes
• Regardless of the setting of the REMOTE/LOCAL
switch, you can use a device connected to the LANC
jack to control the unit.
• The LANC jack on the unit has only LANC-S
functions. The unit has no LANC-M functions. A
device that is set to LANC-S mode cannot be
connected to this unit. Either this, the unit or the other
device may not operate properly.
• If the device that you connect to this unit has a
SHUTTLE A/B switching function and a LANC-M
function, set the device to the SHUTTLE B mode.
• The LANC connection transmits signals such as
control signals, time code, time counter data, and
status data.
• Jacks labeled CONTROL L have the same function
as LANC jacks.
• When using this unit as a player, set the LANC mode
on the recorder to M. A device that does not have an
M / S switching function cannot be used to control
this unit.
4 Remote selector
Selects one from among RS-422A, RS-232C, or
LANC according to a device connected to the unit.
