VTR SET

� The default is �20 dB for DSR-45; �18 dB for DSR-45P. � The standard output level of the AUDIO OUT connectors is +4 dBu. This is equivalent to �20 dB for the DSR-45, or �18 dB for the DSR-45P from full bit (maximum audio level). This level is fixed and does not change even if you change this item setting. � Changing this level does not change the audio gain of this unit. Turn the AUDIO REC LEVEL control knobs to adjust the recording level accordingly. AGC CH1,2 Links/separates the AGC (Auto Gain Control) in channels 1 and 2. (page 29 (GB)) SEPARATE : AGC is not linked. (Channels 1 and 2 sound gains are separated.) LINKED: AGC is linked. (Channels 1 and 2 sound gains are linked as a pair.)
Notes

� The unit can record only in the DVCAM format or in the SP mode of the DV format. � You cannot change the setting while recording. � It is recommended that you record in the DVCAM format. There are some limitations with respect to DV recording depending on machine specifications and the consumer DV format as follows: � The head system is optimized for DVCAM recording. A DV recording overwrites the last track just before the beginning of the recording. As a result, at the border of these two recorded portions, picture and sound may be distorted. � The picture and sound will be recorded unsynchronized. (unlock mode) � The time code is fixed to the drop frame mode. (only for DSR-45) � The DV IN TC setting on the TC/UB SET menu becomes invalid. The unit records internal time code. � If you dub a consumer DV tape from the DV jack on this unit, keep the following in mind: � Set REC MODE to DV SP. If REC MODE has been set to DVCAM, a tape with an invalid format (recording speed: DVCAM, sound: unsynchronized, unlock mode) will be made. (The unit cannot convert unlock mode sound to lock mode sound.) � If you edit a tape with an invalid format in the DSR-70/70P, DSR-70A/70AP, DSR-80/ 80P, DSR-85/85P, DSR-1800/1800P, DSR-2000/2000P, etc., there may be some restrictions. For details on DVCAM/DV format compatibility, see �Compatibility of DVCAM and DV

AGC CH3, 4 Links/separates the AGC (Auto Gain Control) in channels 3 and 4. (page 29 (GB)) SEPARATE : AGC is not linked. (Channels 3 and 4 sound gains are separated.) LINKED: AGC is linked. (Channels 3 and 4 sound gains are linked as a pair.)
Notes

If you select FIELD, the image of field 2 is displayed. FF/REW SPD Selects the tape transport mode in fast-forward and rewind. FF/REW : Fast-forwards or rewinds the tape at maximum speed without displaying the picture. SHUTTLEMAX: Fast-forwards or rewinds the tape at maximum speed (DVCAM: about 14 times normal speed for the DSR-45; about 17 times normal speed for the DSR-45P) while displaying the picture. However, if you use a tape recorded in the SP mode of the DV format, the maximum tape speed will be about 24 times normal speed, on both models.
Note

If you intend to edit using an RS-422A connection, set this item to SHUTTLEMAX.
