Chapter 1 Overview Location and Function of Parts • If DV input has been selected, color and luminance may be distorted in the EE mode, depending on the monitor. • The data items superimposed on a monitor connected to this jack are the same as the items superimposed on the LCD monitor. You cannot make two monitors display different data items individually. • The adjustment of PB LEVEL on the VIDEO SET menu does not affect the MONITOR VIDEO output. • While the unit is externally synchronized, the sync signal frequency and the burst signals of the video signals output to the LCD monitor and the MONITOR VIDEO jack are not synchronized. Therefore, jitter may appear on those output signals. If the unit is externally synchronized, use the VIDEO OUT connector. If you use the MONITOR VIDEO jack, set EXT SYNC on the VIDEO SET menu to OFF. MONITOR AUDIO jack: Outputs the audio signals for monitoring. Select the audio channels you want to monitor as follows. CH-1/2: channels 1/2 MIX: channels 1 to 4 CH-3/4: channels 3/4 1 Video signal input/output section For details on the input and output of the wide-screen aspect ratio information, see "Notes on Wide-screen Aspect Ratio Information" on page 103 (GB). Note The unit can only accept standard video signals. If you input the types of video signals shown below, recorded picture, sound, and the EE picture output via the VIDEO OUT, S VIDEO OUT and COMPONENT OUT connectors may be distorted. • Signals from some home game machines • Blue background screen or gray background screen from a consumer VCR • Pictures played at a speed other than normal by a VCR that does not have the TBC (Time Base Corrector) • Video signals in which the sync signals are distorted • Signals from a defective cassette (tape or recording condition is bad) played by an analog VCR that does not have TBC 1 S VIDEO connectors 2 VIDEO connectors 3 COMPONENT connectors 1 S VIDEO connectors (4-pin) Inputs/Outputs the S-video signal with Y (luminance) and the C (chroma: 3.58 MHz for DSR-45 and 4.43 MHz for DSR-45P) separated. 2 VIDEO connectors (BNC-type) VIDEO IN REF.IN (reference video / composite video input) connector: Inputs composite video signals to this unit. When performing a playback synchronized with an external sync signal, this connector inputs a reference video (black burst) signal. 22 (GB) Chapter 1 Overview VIDEO OUT (composite video output) connector: Outputs composite video signals. The data items are not superimposed. 3 COMPONENT connectors (BNC-type) Inputs/Outputs component video signals (Y/R-Y/B-Y).
