order of Y/P
(V&A) is selected, both video input and audio input are switched to SDTI.
<Audio>
Each time the AUDIO button is pressed, the input audio signal selection is switched in the
order of ANALOG, AES/EBU, USER SET, SDI and then back to ANALOG. USER SET is a
feature for independently selecting the input signals to record on PCM audio signal
channels 1 through 4, and is used together with the setup menu. However, when video
input is set to SDTI, audio input is also forcibly set to SDTI. For instance, if USER SET is
selected by INPUT SELECT and the channel selections are CH1=ANALOG on setup
menu No. 715, CH2=DIGlTAL on No. 716, CH2=AES on No. 719, CH3=DIGlTAL on No.
717, CH3=SIF on No. 720, and CH4=ANALOG on No. 718, then analog input signals are
recorded on PCM audio signal CH1 on the tape, AES/EBU digital signals on CH2, SDI
input digital signals on CH3, and analog input signals on CH4.
INPUT SELECT display
The characters corresponding to the selected input signal light up.
With the exception of analog audio signals, the display flashes to alert the user when the
selected input signal is not supplied.
