These indicators will appear only if the programmer has selected the corresponding menu option
under VCR SETUP sub menu PLAYBACK FORMAT to decode tapes that were recorded on
alternative multiplexers.
The menu appears as follows:
If tapes cannot be decoded:
If the SW-D8000U cannot decode a tape that is being Played back, the system will display a blank
screen. The fields will not be decoded or separated.
There are two possible reasons why a tape cannot be decoded:
q The tape was not recorded on a multiplexer, or
q
The tape is not compatible with the decoding format selected by the programmer.
In the event that the tape was actually recorded on either a SW-D8000U compatible multiplexer or
an alternate multiplexer, but is not correctly decoded, first check to see that the correct PLAYBACK
FORMAT has been selected in the menus.
To view tapes which were not decoded:
With the VCR Playing back a tape, press FUNCTION (F) then PLAY to view the undecoded input. It
should be clear from the undecoded Playback video if the video is multiplexed or not, as several
camera images will be overlaid on each other.
