When the number key corresponding to the channel whose signals are to be monitored is pressed while the L (or R) button is held down, that channel is selected and its signals are displayed on the audio level meter. (By performing the same operation, the selected channel can be de-selected.)

RS-232C display: This LED lights when communication has been enabled between the VTR and the unit which has been connected to the RS-232C connector. ; AUTO OFF lamp This lamp lights when a problem has occurred with the VTR's operation, and details of the problem appear on the time code display. < LCD monitor This monitor is used to check the tape's playback pictures and EE pictures. When an HD tape is played back, the signals are downconverted and displayed in the letter-box screen format. When an SD tape is played back, the signals are displayed using a 4:3 aspect ratio. On-screen menus can also be displayed on the monitor. If the VTR is left in a state where no controls on the front panel are operated or where the tape is not running, the monitor display is automatically turned off in order to protect the monitor. When the next VTR operation is started, the monitor display comes back on. Although the LCD monitor has been manufactured using technology with extremely high levels of precision, some pixels may be missing from parts of the screen or some pixels may remain lighted. These missing or lighted pixels will not be recorded. It should also be borne in mind that this is not indicative of a malfunction. = Function buttons These buttons are used to perform the operations of the function menus (see page 38 for details) and setup menus. SHIFT : This is used to switch the pages of the current function menu ( F1 to F6 ). F1 to F6 : These are used to change the settings of the setting items enclosed in the frame at the bottom of the time code display. To change a setting, keep pressing the corresponding function button ( F1 to F6 ) until the desired numerical value appears; alternatively, press the corresponding function button to highlight the setting of the setting item, and then turn the ADJUST dial until the desired numerical value is obtained. 9
