Description
When digital signals output from the unit are processed by an
external unit, a phase difference between video and audio
signals can be produced. Such differences can be eliminated by
adjusting the audio and video signal phases.
≥Refer to “Adjusting the audio output signals in relation to the
video signals.”
Selects the digital processing in the JOG mode.
ON
:Performs PCM audio digital processing.
OFF:No PCM audio digital processing.
Selects the digital processing in the VAR mode.
ON
:Performs PCM audio digital processing.
OFF:No PCM audio digital processing.
Uses V-fade to instantaneously eliminate the audio noise
occurring during playback at the cut edit points.
ON
:Activates the playback V-fade processing at all cut edit
points on the tape. 
OFF:No playback V-fade processing. 
When shifting from stop to play status, some time elapses before
the audio signals are output. This time lapse can be shortened.
INSTANT
:Shortens the time lapse before audio is output. The
first part of the audio signal to be output, however,
produces an incomplete sound. 
Use for transmission purposes is not recommended.
Convenient when used for search operations, for
instance, because the audio signals can be checked
quickly. 
DELAYED:Outputs the audio signals as soon as they are
complete. 
For holding the peak recording and playback levels.
ON
:Peak level is held.
OFF:Peak level is not held.
For switching the scale of the audio level meter on display to
standard scale or fine scale.
FINE:Scale in 0.2 dB increments. (j24dB to j15dB)
FULL
:Standard scale. (j¶to j0dB)
Refer to “Switching the audio level meter scale” in the AUDIO IN
SET UP menu section (on page 56).
Returns the VTR to the AUDIO OUT menu screen.
0
– 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 is
adjusted. (When “0” is set, the amount is set to the default
setting inside the VTR.)

Description
This menu item can be set by pressing the F10 key together with
the F key.
PCM
:The style is set to the normal PCM audio mode.
DATA:The style is set to the data mode (compressed audio:
Dolby-E).
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.
Transfers the VTR to the AUDIO OUT SET UP STATE menu
screen. (See page 70.)
This enables the sound of channels 1 through 4 to be output to
the audio AES output and embedded audio output channels 5
through 8 even when an audio 4-channel format or 4-channel
tape is to be played back.
ON
:The sound of channels 1 through 4 is output to channels 
5 through 8.
OFF:The sound is not output to channels 5 through 8.
ONoteN
If the CH1-4 setting on the AUDIO OUT SDI ASSIGN MENU is
OFF, the sound is not output to embedded audio output
channels 5 through 8 even when ON has been selected as the
setting of this menu item.
°1The data mode is operational only in the 4-channel audio versions of the 1080/59.94i and 720/59.94p system
formats.
°
1The items on this menu can also be set on the AUDIO IN SETUP menu. If the setting is updated on one menu, it
will be updated on the other menu as well. Furthermore, these settings cannot be performed on a channel by
channel basis.

∑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.
