32 Introduction: Control Reference Guide12.AUDIO MONITOR OUT connectorThis connector outputs the audio signal (CH1 to CH8)that is selected with the MONITOR button and theMETER SELECT switch.13.DIGITAL AUDIO IN/OUT connectorsThese connectors input and output digital audiosignals compliant with the AES/EBU standard.14.ANALOG COMPOSITE VIDEO IN/OUT connectorsInput/output analog composite video signals.■ Basic SetupMake sure that setup menu No. 882 (DIF IN CH) and No. 883(DIF OUT CH) on this unit are set to “AUTO.”◆ NOTE:• Only signals that comply with the format selected in setup menu No.020 (SYS FORMAT) can be input. When the SYS FORMAT is 480i(576i at 50 Hz), operations are limited to setup menu No. 024 (RECFMT (SD)) settings.• The selected recording format and the format of a recording on aninserted P2 card determine the output format.• Select CH1/CH2 or CH3/CH4 as the output audio channels (inDVCPRO/DV).■ Precautions• Connect this unit to only one other device.• If the E-92 warning (1394 INITIAL ERROR) appears,reconnect the connecting cable or turn the power off andback on again.• AV signals may be disrupted when connected devices areturned on and off or when the interface cable is connectedor disconnected.• It may take the system a few seconds to stabilize afterswitching input signals or changing modes. Start recordingafter the system has stabilized.• The following applies to recordings made via the IEEE 1394digital interface as well as to the signals it outputs.- The audio level control knobs on the front panel donot work.- The settings in menu No. 680 (CC (F1) BLANK) andNo. 681 (CC (F2) BLANK) regarding blankingperiods are ignored, and no blanking is effectuated.- Video and audio recording and EE type video andaudio of signal inputs other than 1x speed playbacksignals are not guaranteed.• Pressing the REC button during playback to switch to the EEmode may interfere with the IEEE1394 digital interface. Tooutput EE mode, set setup menu No. 122 (STOP EE SEL) toEE.• The following applies to video input via the IEEE 1394 digitalinterface.- In the EE mode, SDI, analog video output signalsand time codes become irregular. Do not use thesesignals for recording.• Unprocessed video and audio signals are output via theIEEE 1394 digital interface during SLOW and STILLplayback. When monitored on another device, these videoand audio signals may sound different than when playedback on this unit. Do not start up any other applicationprogram when this unit is connected to other devices duringnonlinear editing. Such applications could adversely affectthe video output by such a device during nonlinear editing.◆ NOTE:Observe the following when connecting an IEEE 1394 cable(separately sold). (An incorrect connection may damage thisunit or external devices.)• Turn off all connected devices before connecting or disconnectingIEEE1394 cables.Connect all devices provided with a ground connector to ground (orto a common ground).• When connecting the unit to a device with a 4-pin connector,connect the cable to the 6-pin connector on this unit first.• Be sure to correctly connect an IEEE1394 cable to a connector.• When connecting a cable to a 6-pin IEEE1394 connector, make surethat it mates properly with the connector.• When connecting this unit to an external device, first connect theIEEE1394 cable to the external unit and then to this unit.Connecting the cable to this unit first may damage it by the staticelectricity generated.• AVC-Intra 50 and AVC-Intra 100 recording and playback do notsupport input/output via the IEEE 1394 connector.• No input or output is available via the IEEE1394 connector whensomething other than 59.94 or 50 is selected in setup menu No. 25(SYSTEM FREQ).• During AVCHD playback no output is made via the IEEE 1394connectors. And AVCHD cannot be recorded when IEEE1394 inputis selected.IEEE 1394 Digital Interface(This way)IEEE1394connectorIEEE1394cable plug(Not this way)IEEE1394connectorIEEE1394cable plug
