∑Selecting the TAPE/EE output signals
The video, audio and cue signals which are output during the VTR’s operation are switched on
this menu to TAPE or EE signals.
(1) Press the center cursor key to display the cursor.
(2) Move the cursor to the desired position using the cursor keys.
≥The cursor will not move to places which cannot be set.
(3) Press the center cursor key to select TAPE or EE.

≥When a setting is to be established during head selection using the TEST menu or during
editing, the setting applying to the operation concerned takes precedence over the setting
selected using the VIDEO OUT SET UP STATE menu.
≥When TAPE/EE has been set by F1 (OUTPUT) on the HOME menu, the HOME menu setting
takes precedence.

When TC.TC is selected as the SUPER setting, the time code appears as a 2-level display. (The HD
SUPER and SD SUPER are linked.) The converted time code is displayed on the top level of the superim-
posed display. On the bottom level, the display can be switched between the original time code recorded
on the tape and the converted time code.
Depending on the settings of the F11 and F12 keys on the TC/CHR CONVERT menu, the display patterns
are as shown below.

When the F12 (EX SUPER) key is pressed and set to ERR/FMT, the display of the following information can
be superimposed. The information relating to the format appears on the top-most level of the superimposed
display.
SYS:The frequency information of the SYSTEM format is displayed. For example, “23” is displayed when
the 1080/23psf format has been set.
TAPE:The frequency information of the format played back on the tape is displayed. For example, “24” is
displayed during playback when the tape has been recorded using the 1080/24psf format.
If the tape format is unspecified, “††” appears.
(When an error has occurred, the error display takes precedence over the format so that the format
is not displayed.)
