Sony HVRM25AU - Professional Video Cassete recorder/player Operating Instructions Manual page 49

• When the signals are input through the i.LINK
interface, the unit detects the field frequency of the
input signal automatically. You do not need to change
the [60i/50i SEL] setting. When [60i/50i SEL] is set to
[50i], however, the time code generated by the unit is
fixed to the non-drop frame mode. Even when 60i
system signals are input to the i.LINK jack, the time
code generated by the unit is the non-drop frame mode,
regardless of the [TC FORMAT] setting in the [TC/UB
SET] menu. To record in the drop frame mode, set
[60i/50i SEL] to [60i].
5
Select input signals by switching the INPUT
SELECT switch on the unit.
HDV/DV: to record input signals from the HDV/
DV jack
S VIDEO: to record input signals from the
S VIDEO IN jack
VIDEO: to record input signals from the VIDEO IN
jack
You need to adjust [HDV/DV SEL] (page 70) and
REC MODE] (page 70) in the [IN/OUT REC]
[
menu to the desired recording format.
For details on recording tape formats, see page 98.
Notes
• Do not change the INPUT SELECT switch setting
during recording. If you change the setting of this
switch during recording, recording will stop for several
seconds. Recording will restart after the internal
circuits are switched. During this time, no image is
recorded.
• When DVCAM/DV signals which are input from the
HDV/DV jack, or video signals which are from the
VIDEO IN jacks or S VIDEO IN jacks, are output to
each analog output jack, the distortion of the video
signals occurs at the bottom of the TV monitor display
due to the jitter. Depending on the display area of the
TV monitor you have, the distortion of the picture may
appear at the bottom of the screen. This is not a
malfunction.
Pictures may be distorted or not be displayed
depending on the TV monitors. This will not appear
while recording with the unit.
Be aware of these phenomena when you connect other
recording device via the analog jacks of the unit.
• Depending on the TV monitor being connected, the
screen may blink or be distorted when DVCAM/DV
signals which are input from the HDV/DV jack, or
video signals which are from the VIDEO IN jacks or
S VIDEO IN jacks, are output to the VIDEO OUT
jacks.
Be aware of these phenomena when you connect other
recording device to these jacks. This will not appear
while recording with the unit.

Select the audio mode. (With an HDV/DV

When recording a tape in DV (SP), you can set
[AUDIO LOCK] in the [AUDIO SET] menu (page
76).
Note
When signals are input from the HDV/DV jack, the
audio mode is the same as the one used to input signals
from the player.
To dub audio after recording, see page 63.
