a S VIDEO jacks
To connect a device equipped with S video jacks, use
the S VIDEO jacks on the unit.
If you use the S VIDEO jacks, you can input/output
high-quality video with less signal quality deterioration
than if connected to the standard VIDEO jack.
When the DISPLAY OUTPUT switch on the front
panel is set to S VIDEO/VIDEO or ALL, text data such
as the time code, menus, and alarm messages are
superimposed on an external monitor connected to the
S VIDEO OUT jack (page 23).
For details on the output of the S VIDEO jacks, see "Notes on
all video output jacks" on page 19.
b VIDEO jacks
Use these jacks to input and output analog video signals.
Text data is superimposed on a monitor in the same
way as with an S VIDEO jack connection (page 23).
For details on the output of the VIDEO jacks, see "Notes on
all video output jacks" on page 19.
c AUDIO jacks
Use these jacks to input and output analog audio signals.
During normal recording, sounds are recorded onto
channels 1 and 2. During audio dubbing, sounds are
dubbed onto channels 3 and 4.
You can select audio signals to be output with the
AUDIO OUTPUT SELECT switch (page 7).
When the audio mode is FS32K (4 channel), if you set
the AUDIO OUTPUT SELECT switch to MIX, the
audio output level becomes 50% (–6 dB) of the original
audio level on each channel.
