When a colormonitor is connected to the unit’s VIDEO OUT connector andan HD color video monitor is connected to its MON OUTconnector at the same time, the down-converted colorplayback images from the VIDEO OUT connector can beviewed on the color monitor while the HD high-quality imagesfrom the MON OUT connector can be viewed on the HDcolor video monitor.≥ In order to view these images, the OUTPUT SEL switch onthe side panel must be set to the VTR position.In addition, when the FF and REW buttons are used, theimages can be played back at different speeds byestablishing the cue mode (PLAY + FF), review mode (PLAY+ REW), high-speed fast forward playback mode (FF) orhigh-speed rewind playback mode (REW).≥ The rec-review function cannot be used unless recordinglasts for one or more seconds.≥ If the VIDEO OUT OUTPUT SEL switch on the side panelis at the VTR position during the rec-review operation, therec-review images are output not only to the viewfinder butto the video output connector (VIDEO OUT connector) aswell.Use the menu operations to open the screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page and set theMONI OUT MODE item to VTR to output video signals ofRec-review from the MON OUT connector as well.Bear in mind that if back-up images are being recorded bya backup VTR that has been connected, these rec-reviewimages will end up being recorded.The jump function as a relevant function. For details, referto “3-3 Scene-to-scene continuity.”≥ After executing the rec-view operation, the time code at thetime of recording the following data will correspond to thesettings in the REC REVIEW REGEN item (screen on the VTR MENU page).≥ When the REC REVIEW REGEN item is turned ON andthe rec-view operation is executed while the TCG switch isset to the R-RUN position, the time code will always beregenerated to the value on the tape.Even if the TCG switch is set to the SET position or the F-RUN position, the time code will be rewritten to the valueon the tape when the rec-veiw operation is executed afterreturning the switch to the R-RUN position. When recordingstarts, the unit regenerates the time code to the value onthe tape. Even if the FIRST REC TC item of the menu(TC/UB screen of the VTR MENU page) is set to PRESET,the time code will always be regenerated to the value onthe tape by executing the rec-view operation after settingthe TCG switch to the R-RUN position.3-7 To check the last few seconds ofthe recording(Rec-review function)When recording is temporarily stopped and the lens RETbutton is pressed, the last two seconds of the tape areautomatically rewound, and the playback pictures on this partof the tape appear on the viewfinder screen. This makes itpossible to check whether recording was performed properly.After the two seconds of the tape have been played back,the unit is again set to the recording start standby mode.If the RET button is held down, a maximum of 10 seconds ofthe tape is rewound and played back.The Rec-review function can be executed by opening the MODE> screen from the OPERATION page andsetting the RET SW items to the R.
