Memo: • The camera cannot be synchronized with a VCR playback signal. • When the power is switched ON while an external sync signal is input, the screen moves in a vertical direction for a few seconds. This is not a malfunction. • Only for the combined H (horizontal)/V (vertical) synchronizing signal. Synchronization with the SC (subcarrier) of the input signal is not possible. Even if SC adjustment is performed, a phase shift will take place at the time of power on/off. The SC phase must be adjusted each time the power is turned on. • Color frame synchronization is not possible. • If the external sync signal is disrupted during recording, the "SYNC INH" (SYNC INHIBIT) indicator is displayed on the counter display and recording stops. • If the external sync signal is disrupted during playback, playback of the disturbed video image continues. Start playback again after synchronization is obtained and the signal is stabilized. [VTR REMOTE] connector A part of the unit's functions can be controlled externally. To remote control the unit using the control signal of this connector, the VCR Setup Menu item No. 050 REMOTE SELECT must be set to "RS232C". For details, please consult your JVC dealer.
