Recording
This flowchart shows the steps for recording the digital signals which are supplied to the unit from an external
digital device.
11. Check the connections.
12. Turn on the power.
13. After making sure that no cassette tape is inserted in this unit, set the system frequency
59.94, 23.98, 24, 25 or 50 by F1 (FREQ) key of the SYSTEM SET UP menu.
The frequency setting is possible when the two keys, F and F1 are pressed at the same time.
Select the frequency by cursor key [3, 4] and press the BS and ENT keys at the same time,
then the frequency is secured. In 59 Hz mode, the selection window will be further displayed
(1080i/525i/720p). Select the format by the cursor key, and press the BS and ENT keys at
the same time to secure the format. When the 1080i or 720p format has been selected, se-
lect its 4-channel or 8-channel audio version, and enter the format by pressing the BS and
ENT keys at the same time.
In the 23.98 Hz, 24 Hz or 25 Hz mode, a window appears offering the user the option of se-
lecting PsF or P for the VIDEO signal interface format. When the format is selected using the
cursor keys [3, 4] and the BS key and ENT key are then pressed together, the format is en-
tered. In the same way, the HD MAIN output and HD MONI output formats are selected using
the cursor keys [3, 4] and then entered by pressing the BS key and ENT key together.
(The table below lists the possible combinations of the output signals of the video output
connectors. These combinations are available only when the AJ-UDC3700P option has
been installed.)
