AC IN socket
Connect one end of the power cord supplied to this
socket and the other end to the power outlet.
DIGITAL AUDIO IN and OUT connectors
These are the input and output connectors for digital
audio signals that comply with the AES/EBU
standards.
<Note>
The digital audio signals which are to be input to
these connectors must be synchronized with the
video input signals. Otherwise, noise will be
generated in the audio output signals.
ANALOG COMPONENT VIDEO IN connectors
(optional)
The analog component video signals are input to
these connectors.
ANALOG COMPOSITE VIDEO IN connectors and
75 Ω termination switch (optional)
The analog composite video signals are input to
these connectors. A loop-through configuration is
featured for each pair of input connectors.
For termination at this VTR, set the termination
switch to ON.
REF VIDEO IN connectors and 75 Ω termination
switch
These are the input connectors of the reference
video signals.
Input a reference signal with color burst.
For termination at this VTR, set the termination
switch to ON.
<Note>
Video and audio output may be disturbed when the
reference video signal is not input, so it is
recommended that a system which inputs the
reference video signal be used.

Remote control connectors
These connectors make it possible to use two of
these VTRs or to connect this VTR to an external
controller so that the VTR can be operated from an
external component.
Two remote control connectors are provided: one for
IN/OUT use and the other for OUT use only.
IN/OUT:
For connection with an external controller
For connection with deck-to-deck operations
OUT:
For connection with parallel run operations
For loop-through use
<Note>
If connection is to be made to the OUT connector for
deck-to-deck operations where this VTR will serve
as the recorder, which of the two connectors is to be
used can be selected using setup menu No. 212
(MASTER PORT).
ENCODER REMOTE connector
An external encoder remote controller is connected
to this connector when the video output signal
settings are to be adjusted from an external
component.
ANALOG AUDIO IN connectors
These are the analog audio input connectors.
TIME CODE IN connector
This connector is used to record an external time
code onto the tape.
TIME CODE OUT connector
During playback, the playback time code is output
through this connector.
During recording, the time code generated by the
internal time code generator is output.
SERIAL DIGITAL COMPONENT AUDIO and
VIDEO IN and OUT connectors
These are the input and output connectors for the
digital component audio and video signals that
comply with the ITU-R BT.656-4 standard.
Video signals containing superimposed information
can be output through the SDI OUT 3 connector.
Whether the superimposing is to be set ON or OFF
is selected using the SUPER switch
panel.
<Note>
The digital audio signals which are to be input to
these connectors must be synchronized with the
video input signals. Otherwise, noise will be
generated in the audio output signals.
