VTR SET Switches the recording mode between DVCAM and DV (SP mode only). When you play
VTR REC MODE
back a tape, the DVCAM/DV setting will be automatically switched; you do not need to use
this item.
DVCAM : Records in DVCAM format.
DV SP: Records in DV format (SP mode).
Notes
• The unit can record only in the DVCAM format or in the SP mode of the DV format.
• You cannot change the setting while recording.
• It is recommended that you record in the DVCAM format. There are some limitations with
respect to DV recording depending on machine specifications and the consumer DV
format as follows:
– The head system is optimized for DVCAM recording. A DV recording overwrites the last
track just before the beginning of the recording. As a result, at the border of these two
recorded portions, picture and sound may be distorted.
– The sound and picture will be recorded unsynchronized. (unlock mode)
– The time code is fixed to the drop frame mode. (only for NTSC)
– The DV IN TC setting on the TC/UB SET menu becomes invalid. The unit records
internal time code.
• If you dub a consumer DV tape from the DV jack on this unit, keep the following in mind:
– Set REC MODE to DV SP. If REC MODE has been set to DVCAM, a tape with an
invalid format (recording speed: DVCAM, sound: unsynchronized, unlock mode) will be
made. (The unit cannot convert unlock mode sound to lock mode sound.)
– If you edit a tape with an invalid format in the DSR-70/70P, DSR-70A/70AP, DSR-80/
80P, DSR-85/85P, DSR-1800/1800P, DSR-2000/2000P, etc., there may be some
restrictions.
For details on DVCAM/DV format compatibility, see "Compatibility of DVCAM and DV
Format" on page 76 (GB).
AUTO INDEX

(page 40 (GB)) stop mode starts recording.
ON : Marks an index signal at the beginning of the recording.
OFF: Does not mark an index signal at the beginning of the recording.
STILL PICT Switches the image displayed in the still mode.
AUTO : Displays an optimized image according to the movement in the image.
FIELD: Displays a field image.
FRAME: Displays a frame image.
Note
If you select FIELD, the image of field 2 is displayed.
FF/REW SPD Selects the tape transport mode in fast-forward and rewind.
FF/REW : Fast-forwards or rewinds the tape at maximum speed without displaying the
picture.
SHUTTLEMAX: Fast-forwards or rewinds the tape at maximum speed (about 14 times
normal speed for NTSC; about 17 times normal speed for PAL) while displaying the
picture. However, if you use a tape recorded in the SP mode of the DV format, the
maximum tape speed will be about 24 times normal speed, regardless of the color
system used.
