Sony DNW-A100 Operation Manual page 11

3 REC (recording level) controls
These adjust individually the recording levels on
channels 1 to 4.
To set the recording level, put the unit in E-E mode,
pull out the control knobs and adjust the level while
watching the audio level meters 2.
When the control knobs are pushed in, the recording
levels return to the preset levels (0 dBm reference level
for an input of +4 dBm), and cannot be adjusted.
These controls do not function in the following cases.
• When SDDI video input is selected.
• When signals recorded on digital tape are being
copied to the hard disk (including recording during
editing operation).
For details of selecting the E-E mode, see the description of
the REC button in the tape/disk transport control section
(see page 2-16) and the PB. EE button in the monitor/menu/
display setting section (see page 2-9).
4 VIDEO INPUT SELECT switch and indicators
When an external device (EXT) is selected as the
player by the device specification buttons (see page 2-
12), this switch selects the video input signal in the
following sequence. (When the player is other than an
external device, this switch and the indicators have no
function.)
SDDI n SDI n COMPONENT or COMPOSITE
(SDDI input is an option for the DNW-A100/A100P.
Only one of the component and composite video input
options can be installed. It is not possible to use the
input of the type which is not installed.)
SDDI (DNW-A100/A100P only): SDDI video signal
input to the SDDI DIGITAL INPUT connector (In
this case the SDDI audio signals are
simultaneously selected.)
SDI: SDI video signal input to the SDI DIGITAL
INPUT connectors
COMPONENT: Analog component video signal
input to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT
connectors.
COMPOSITE: Analog composite video signal
input to the COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT
connectors.
The indicators light according to the selection. If there
is a fault on the selected input (such as no input
signal), the indicator flashes.
Note
When you have used the device specification buttons
(see page 2-12) to set this switch to SDDI with EXT
selected as the player and TAPE selected as the
recorder, the REC INHIBIT indicator lights
automatically and recording on tape is prohibited.
Recording on the hard disk is not prohibited.
