– 1 Fr (in increments of 1/10th of a frame):
The amount by which the data is to be advanced when the
digital audio input/output format is in the data mode can be set
in increments of 1/10th of a frame. (When “0” is set, the
amount is set to the default setting inside the VTR.)
This menu item can be set by pressing the F10 key together with
the F key.
PCM
:The format is set to the regular PCM audio mode.
DATA:The format is set to the data mode (compressed audio:
Dolby-E°2).
This enables recording and playback to be conducted either
through the rate converter in the AUDIO I/O area and with the
digital filter activated (function ON) or with the rate converter
bypassed and the digital filter remaining inactive (function OFF).
ON
:For recording and playback through the rate converter.
OFF:For recording and playback with the rate converter bypassed.
°1The data mode is operational only in the 4-channel audio versions of the 1080/59.94i and 720/59.94p system
formats.
°
1The data advance amount and data style can be set on both the AUDIO IN SETUP menu and AUDIO OUT SETUP
menu. If the setting is updated on one menu, it will be updated on the other menu as well. Furthermore, these

∑Operation
≥The menu item is set to ON or OFF for both the recording and playback systems simultane-
ously: it is not possible to select the item’s setting for recording or playback only.
≥Similarly, the menu item is set to ON or OFF for all channels CH1 to CH8 (or CH1 to CH4) 
simultaneously: it is not possible to select the item’s setting for specific channels only.
≥If the DATA mode has been selected using F10 (STYLE) when the system format is 1080/59i
4ch or 720/59p 4ch, the DATA mode setting takes precedence.  (Recording and playback are
conducted with the rate converter bypassed.)
∑Formats supported
≥The menu item is displayed and ON or OFF can be selected as its setting only with the system
formats listed below.
≥1080/23p (psf)_8ch, 1080/25p (psf)_8ch, 1080/50i_8ch, 1080/59i_8ch, 
≥720/59p_8ch, 1080/59i_4ch, 720/59p_4ch
≥When 1080/24p(psf) 8ch has been selected as the system format, the menu display is cleared,
and the rate converter is forcibly set to ON.
≥When 525/59i 4ch, 525/59i 8ch or 625/50i has been selected as the system format, the menu
display is cleared, and the rate converter is forcibly set to OFF.
∑Precautions when selecting OFF as the rate converter setting
≥The video input and AES input must be synchronized.
≥The video output and reference signal selected by OUT REF must be synchronized.
≥During P.PLAY playback, the frequency of the digital audio output ceases to be 48 kHz, and it
is no longer possible for the signals to be received by external components.
≥Similarly, during frame rate conversion playback (such as when a tape recorded at a system
frequency of 23 Hz is to be played back at a system frequency of 25 Hz), it is no longer possi-
ble for the signals to be received by external components.
