current tape position (right side). When no Mark In data
has been set, "IN: --:--:--:--" appears.
When one or more of the menu items
TC >OTHERS(MAIN) >LTC Delay,
TC >OTHERS(MAIN) >VITC Delay and
AUDIO>INPUT DELAY are set to something other than
"NO Delay", "IN DLY:" appears under (left side) the time
data of the current position and the LTC, VITC, and AU
indicators light according to those item settings of
something other than "NO Delay".
1) CTL signal:
This is a control signal consisting of a pulse signal recorded longitudinally
on the tape for every frame of video.
d Status
Displays the following status information.
Upper row: Displays the setting of REMOTE/LOCAL in
the SYSTEM Setup menu (see page 57). If REMOTE
appears, the unit can be controlled from the device
connected to the REMOTE IN connector (see page
20).
Middle row: Displays the setting of POWER >MODE
(PB or EE) in the SYSTEM Setup menu (see page 60).
When POWER >SAVE MODE is set to "SAVE",
"SAVE" appears on the right side of the MODE
setting display.
Lower row: Displays the real time.
e Signal format
Displays the format of recording signals.
When the unit is in one of the following modes, an
alphabetic character indicating the mode appears before
the number of lines.
T: Auto Timer Rec
M: Manual Timer Rec
C: Cache Rec
When SR Motion is used, "S" appears before the system
frequency.
f Channel condition/RF indicator
During playback, the letters "CH.COND" appear and one
of the three bars (green, yellow, and red) lights to indicate
the playback signal condition.
Green bar: Playback signal quality is good.
Yellow bar: Playback signal quality is degraded, but
playback is possible.
Red bar: Playback signal quality is degraded. If this
continues, head cleaning or internal inspection is
needed.
During playback with manual tracking control, the
"CH.COND" indication in the HOME screen flashes in
yellow (see page 73). "CH.COND" flashes during auto
tracking operation.
During recording, the letters "RF" appear and a green bar
or a red bar lights to indicate the recording signal
condition. Normally the green bar lights. If a recording
problem occurs, the red bar lights.

Green bar: Recording signal quality is good.
Red bar: Recording signal quality is degraded. If this
continues, head cleaning or internal inspection is
needed.
g Remaining tape time
Displays the time remaining on the tape. "TOP" is
displayed at the start of the tape, and "END" is displayed
at the end. The time display flashes when the tape is within
three minutes of the end.
h Battery level/external power supply voltage
Displays the current power level of the battery pack. When
the battery pack is fully charged, all seven segments light
up. As the battery pack discharges, the segments go out
from left to right. When the battery pack is almost
exhausted, the voltage indication and the tally indicator
flash, and a warning tone sounds intermittently. When the
battery pack is completely exhausted, the tally indicator
flashes at a higher rate and the warning tone sounds
continuously.
For more information, see "Warning System" (page 109).
When an external power supply is connected, the voltage
of the external power supply is shown. However, the input
voltage to the DC IN connector is not shown in itself.
Rather the voltage actually used by the system is shown
(lower than the input voltage).
For more information about the relation between segments
and battery voltage, see 3-4-4 "Checking the Power and
Voltage" (page 35).
i Signal formats
When you press the HOME button with the FUNC button
held down, displays the system, playback, and monitor
output signal formats, in that order from the top row.

the number of lines.
T: Auto Timer Rec
M: Manual Timer Rec
C: Cache Rec
When SR Motion is used, "S" appears before the system
frequency.
When you play a tape that was recorded with SR Motion,
the FPS value in SR Motion recording is shown in the
playback frequency position (see page 81).
During LUT conversion for monitor output, "(LUT)"
appears after the monitor output display (see page 121).
See Chapter 7 "SR Motion (With HKSR-102 Installed)"
(page 78) for more information about the SR Motion
function.
