RINPUT SELECT buttons
These buttons switch the video and audio input
signals. It is also possible to switch the input signals
to the internal reference signal selected on setup
menu No. 600 (INT SG).
VIDEO: Each time the VIDEO button is pressed, the input
video signal selection is switched in the order of Y
PB PR 5 CMPST 5SDI  5SDTI/1394  5SG
(SG/SG1/SG2). O When SG has been selected, the signal is
switched to the internal reference signal
selected on setup menu No. 600 (INT SG).
AUDIO: Each time the AUDIO button is pressed, the input
audio signal selection is switched in the order of
ANALOG  5AES/EBU  5USER SET 5 SDI 5
SDTI/1394 5 SG.
O USER SET is a function which enables the
input signals to be selected and recorded
separately on PCM audio signal channels 1
through 4, and is used in conjunction with the
setup menu.
Example: 

O It is possible to inhibit input switching operations
(video and audio) of the INPUT SELECT buttons
with setup menu No. 112 (V IN SEL INH) and No.
113 (A IN SEL INH).
O Y PB PR, CMPST and SDTI/1394 cannot be
selected unless one of the optional boards (AJ-
YA931G, AJ-YAD955G) has been installed.

P3.5-inch color LCD monitor
This monitor enables the output images and menu
settings to be monitored.  Information such as the
time code is not displayed. [Saving function of LCD monitor]
If none of the controls on the front panel are
operated or the cassette tape does not move at
all for about 5 minutes, the saving function is
activated, and the display vanishes from the LCD
monitor.
To release this function, either operate one of the
buttons or the dial on the front panel or issue a
tape transport instruction  from the controller.
The operation performed to release the saving
function is executed without the user having to
take another step.O When OFF is set as the setup menu item
No.900 (LCD PROTECT) setting, the saving
function will not work.

Although the LCD monitor has been manufactured
using technology with extremely high levels of
precision, some pixels may be missing from parts of
the screen or some pixels may remain lighted.
These missing or lighted pixels will not be recorded.
It should also be borne in mind that this is not
indicative of a malfunction.
Q Headphone jack and volume control
When stereo headphones are connected to the
headphone jack, the sound during recording, playback
or editing can be monitored using the headphones.
The volume level of the headphone output and monitor
output can be adjusted using the volume control.
Whether the volume level of the monitor output is to be
coupled to the volume control or not can be selected
using the setup menu item No. 713 (MONI OUT).
(Note that the volume level of the headphones is
coupled at all times.)
When the volume of the monitor output is not coupled,
it is fixed at a set level and is not affected by the
position of the volume control.

which are to be output to the MONITOR L and R
connectors.
Each time the L button is pressed, the signal to be
output to the MONITOR L connector is changed in
the following sequence: CH1 5 CH2 5CH3  5
CH4 5 CUE.
Similarly, each time the R button is pressed, the
signal to be output to the MONITOR R connector is
changed in the following sequence: CH1 5 CH2 5
CH3 5 CH4 5CUE.
Which signal has now been selected is displayed by
the lighting of the L or R lamps on the level meter
display.
When AUTO has been selected as the setup menu
No. 721 (MONI CH SEL) setting, the display is
switched in tandem with the monitor output. The
channel to which monitor output is to be switched
automatically can be selected using setup menu No.
735 (MON AUTO SEL).
V AUDIO MON SEL (MIX) button
This button is used to select the mixed signals which
are to be output to the MONITOR L and R
connectors.
Each time the AUDIO MON SEL (L) button is
pressed while this button is held down, the signals
to be output to the MONITOR L connector change in
the following sequence: CH1 + CH2  5CH3 + CH4
5 CH1 + CH3 5 CH2 + CH4 5mixing release.
The mixed signals to be output to the MONITOR R
connector are changed in the same way by the
AUDIO MON SEL (R) button.
W Audio level control knobs
These knobs are used to adjust the recording and
playback level of the PCM audio signals (CH1, CH2,
CH3 and CH4).
Whether the recording level or the playback level is
to be adjusted is selected using the AUDIO VOL
SEL (REC/PB) switch X.

positions of the audio level control knobs W.
VAR: At this position, the audio signals are recorded or
played back at the level adjusted by the audio
level control knobs W.

It is not possible to set it so that both the recording
level and playback level can be adjusted.
When REC LEVEL is selected, UNITY (fixed level)
is set for the playback level; when PB LEVEL is
selected, UNITY is set for the recording level.
Z SET button

displayed.
When it is pressed again, the original display is
restored.
The VTR information consists of the “WARNING”
information, “HOURS METER” information and
“UMID” information.
Switching between the display of each type of
information is accomplished by pressing the search
button.
Displayed on the “WARNING” screen are details of
the warnings.
Displayed on the “HOURS METER” screen are the
deck’s serial number, power-on time, drum rotation
time, tape travel time, number of times a cassette
has been loaded, number of times the power has
been turned on and off, and so on.
Displayed on the “UMID INFO” screen are details of

Connect one end of the power cord supplied to this
socket and the other end to the power outlet.
2 DIGITAL AUDIO IN and OUT connectors
These are the input and output connectors for digital
audio signals that comply with the AES/EBU
standards.

The digital audio signals which are to be input to
these connectors must be synchronized with the
video input signals. Otherwise, noise will be
generated in the audio output signals.
3 ANALOG COMPONENT VIDEO IN connectors
(optional)
The analog component video signals are input to
these connectors.
4 ANALOG COMPOSITE VIDEO IN connectors and
75 Ω termination switch (optional)
The analog composite video signals are input to
these connectors.  A loop-through configuration is
featured for each pair of input connectors.
For termination at this VTR, set the termination
switch to ON.
5 REF VIDEO IN connectors and 75  Ωtermination
switch
These are the input connectors of the reference
video signals.
Input a reference signal with color burst.
For termination at this VTR, set the termination
switch to ON. 
Video and audio output may be disturbed when the
reference video signal is not input, so it is
recommended that a system which inputs the
reference video signal be used.
Parts and their functions(continued)
6 Remote control connectors
These connectors make it possible to use two of
these VTRs or to connect this VTR to an external
controller so that the VTR can be operated from an
external component.
Two remote control connectors are provided: one for
IN/OUT use and the other for OUT use only.
IN/OUT: For connection with an external controller
For connection with deck-to-deck operations
OUT: For connection with parallel run operations
For loop-through use

If connection is to be made to the OUT connector for
deck-to-deck operations where this VTR will serve
as the recorder, which of the two connectors is to be
used can be selected using setup menu No. 212
(MASTER PORT).
\b ENCODER REMOTE connector
An external encoder remote controller is connected
to this connector when the video output signal
settings are to be adjusted from an external
component.
8 ANALOG AUDIO IN connectors
These are the analog audio input connectors.
9 TIME CODE IN connector
This connector is used to record an external time
code onto the tape.
: TIME CODE OUT connector
During playback, the playback time code is output
through this connector.
During recording, the time code generated by the
internal time code generator is output.
\f SERIAL DIGITAL COMPONENT AUDIO and
VIDEO IN and OUT connectors
These are the input and output connectors for the
digital component audio and video signals that
comply with the ITU-R BT.656-4 standard.
Video signals containing superimposed information
can be output through the SDI OUT 3 connector.
Whether the superimposing is to be set ON or OFF
is selected using the SUPER switch  4on the front
panel. 
The digital audio signals which are to be input to
these connectors must be synchronized with the
video input signals. Otherwise, noise will be
generated in the audio output signals.
