Chapter 1 Overview

61-1 Features

Overview

1-1 Features

The HDW-1800/D1800 is a high-definition (HD) digital

videocassette recorder based on the HDCAM format.

This unit uses large scale integrated circuits for signal

processing, and has a simple internal construction,

allowing it to provide functionality at least equivalent to a

conventional VTR in a compact (4U size), lightweight, and

low power consumption design.

In addition to HDCAM format recording and playback, the

HDW-D1800 can also play back tapes recorded in the

Digital Betacam and MPEG IMX formats.

HDCAM format

The HDCAM format uses the same 12.65-mm width tape

as the conventional Betacam series. It provides high

definition images, offering up to two hours of recording.

For video signal compression, prefiltration and coefficient

recording technologies are used.

High-performance heads and compatibility

functions

The newly developed high-performance heads and

dynamic tracking (DT) technology provide high-density

recording and playback in narrow tracks with high

reliability. The VTR automatically detects the recording

format of tapes when they are loaded, so that no menu

settings need to be made when changing formats.

High-precision digital signal processing

and range of interfaces

Digital signal processing uses HD 4:2:2 component video

signals complying with SMPTE 292M, which are

converted into parallel data and then compressed into

HDCAM format.

The audio signals are based on the AES/EBU format, and

are subjected to digital signal processing without being

compressed.

The unit is equipped with a high definition to standard

definition (HD-to-SD) downconverter, and has the

following interfaces for ease of connection to different

external devices.

• SD analog composite signal output

• Analog audio signal input/output (2 channels)

• HDSDI SMPTE 292M input/output (HD digital video/

audio, 4/8 channels)

• SDI SMPTE 259M output (component digital video/

audio, 4/8 channels)

• AES/EBU serial digital audio input/output (4 channels

for input, 4/8 channels for output)

• Timecode input/output

High-quality four-channel audio

High-quality 20 bit/48 kHz digital audio is supported in the

HDCAM format and there are four digital audio input/

output channels.

The HDW-D1800 also supports 4-channel digital audio

playback in the Digital Betacam format and a maximum of

8-channel digital audio playback in the MPEG IMX

format.

1-1 Features

Chapter 1 Overview

Control panel with LCD

The control panel contains an LCD unit to display various

types of information including time data. The display

mode can be changed to show the video which is currently

being recorded or played back.

Basic operation buttons and jog/shuttle

dial

Buttons, indicators, and a jog/shuttle dial for basic VTR

operations are provided in the conventional VTR layout,

ensuring continuity with conventional operating panels.

Function menu

You can use the function buttons on the LCD and the

MULTI CONTROL knob to easily carry out many of the

operations and make many of the settings supported by the

unit. The current settings can be checked on the LCD.

In addition, you can redefine the names and functions of

the function buttons. These are preset to standard factory

default values, but you can redefine them for ease of

operation according to the application. For example, you

can change the function button definitions to avoid

displaying an unnecessary function.

Audio level meters and level controls

Audio levels are shown on the LCD in the form of bar

graphs. Recording and playback levels can be controlled

with individual control knobs for each channel.

High-quality variable speed playback and

digital jog sound function

In HDCAM, Digital Betacam, and MPEG IMX format

playback, the dedicated playback DT heads allow smooth,

noiseless playback.

In slow motion operation, the digital jog sound function

provides the same ease of operation as for a conventional

analog VTR.

Wide range of editing functions

By combining two units, you can carry out both assemble

editing and insert editing automatically. All of the

necessary editing functions are provided to set and amend

edit points, to preview and review results of editing, and so

on.

DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) editing

This allows automatic editing with a varying playback

speed memorized beforehand for an edit segment.

Split editing

In insert editing, the audio IN and OUT points can be set

separately from the video edit points.

Preread editing

This allows you to play back prerecorded video and audio

material, edit it by applying effects with an external

device, and then rerecord almost simultaneously on the

same tape.

Cross fade editing

In audio editing, you can fade the audio track. You can

select cut in, fade in, fade out, or cross fade.

Downconverter function

The unit has an HD-to-SD downconverter function, and

can output standard definition SDI and analog composite

signals.

Upconverter function (HDW-D1800 only)

The HDW-D1800 features a standard definition to high-

definition (SD-to-HD) upconverter as standard equipment.

This allows high-quality HD signals to be output even

when playing back tapes recorded in the Digital Betacam

and MPEG IMX formats.

Remote control function

This unit can be controlled from an external remote

controller or editor through an interface complying with

RS-422A (serial 9-pin). Since two remote control

connectors are provided, you can also control more than

one VTR simultaneously.

Additionally, a parallel (50-pin) interface is also fitted as

standard, supporting easy external control through the

parallel interface.

Rack mounting

Using the optional RMM-131 Rack Mount Adaptor, you

can mount the unit in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.

For details of rack mounting, refer to the mounting

instructions supplied with the rack mount adaptor.

2-3 pulldown playback and 720P output

function (option)

The HKDW-104 Pull-down/720P Board can be installed

in this unit to carry out 2-3 pulldown playback and 720P

output.

81-1 Features

Chapter 1 Overview

For details on installation, settings, and operations of the

HKDW-104 board, refer to the Operation Manual

supplied with the board.

HDV (i.LINK) input (option)

menu page P08: AUD INP and set it to “ON” (see

page 69).

When the signal to which emphasis has been applied is

played back, it is automatically subjected to deemphasis

processing.

Using the emphasis-deemphasis processing improves the

dynamic range by reducing high-frequency noise.

4-1-2 Recording Timecode and User

Bit Values

There are two ways of recording timecode, as follows:

• Setting an initial value, then recording the output of the

internal timecode generator

• Recording the output of the internal timecode generator

synchronized with an external timecode generator

To set an initial value then record the

timecode

If necessary, change the settings in function menu page

P02: TC (see page 66).

To set an initial timecode value

Use the following procedure.

In function menu page P02: TC, set F1 (TCG SRC) to

“INTERNAL” and F2 (TCG MODE) to “PRESET”.

In function menu page P01: HOME, set F8

(COUNTER) to “TC”.

Select F10 (TCG SET).

The function menu display changes as follows.

The first digit of the timecode value (8 digits: hours,

minutes, seconds, and frames) flashes.

To set all digits to zero

Select F5 (CLR CNT).

Select F1 (PREV) or F2 (NEXT), and select the digit

to be changed.

Selecting F2 (NEXT) moves the flashing digit position

to the right, and selecting F1 (PREV) moves the

flashing digit position to the left.

Until all the digits are set as required, repeat steps 3

and 4.

Select F9 (SET).

When F3 (TCG RUN) in function menu page P02: TC

is set to “FREE”, the timecode value starts advancing

immediately.

To set the timecode value to the real time

With the items in function menu page P02: TC set as

follows, carry out the procedure of “Setting an initial

timecode value”. In steps 3 and 4, set a value slightly after

the current time as the initial value, then carry out step 6 at

the instant the real time catches up with the setting.

F1 (TCG SRC): INTERNAL

F2 (TCG MODE): PRESET

F3 (TCG RUN): FREE

F4 (DROP FRM): DF (59.94i, 29.97PsF mode only)

To set a user bit value

The user bit values recorded on the timecode track provide

for eight hexadecimal digits, which can be used to hold the

date, time, or other information.

Use the following procedure.

In function menu page P02: TC, select and set F1 (TCG

SRC) to “INTERNAL” and F2 (TCG MODE) to

“PRESET”, respectively.

In function menu page P01: HOME, set F8

(COUNTER) to “UB”.

Carry out the procedure in steps 2 to 6 under the

heading above, “Setting an initial timecode value”.

Set values, using the hexadecimal digits 0 to 9 and A

to F.

If any of the settings of “REC START MARK MODE” in

setup menu item 631 is set to “ON” (to write a recording

start mark), then the user bits are overwritten with the shot

mark data for 20 frames from the start of recording in crash

record mode, assemble edit mode, or insert edit mode.

For details on the setup menu, see Chapter 9 “Setup

Menus”.

To synchronize the internal timecode

generator with an external signal

Use this method to synchronize the timecode generators of

multiple VTRs, or to record the playback timecode signal

from an external VTR without deterioration of the signal

waveform.

In this case the RUN and DF settings are ignored.

You can synchronize the internal timecode generator with

either of the following external timecodes.

• The timecode output (LTC) of an external timecode

generator or external VTR connected to the TIME

CODE IN connector of the unit

• The timecode (LTC or VITC) in the HDSDI signal input

to the unit

To synchronize the internal timecode generator with an

external signal, use the following procedure.

Set “TCG REGEN MODE” in setup menu item 605 to

“TC&UB” or “TC”.

To synchronize with an external timecode signal input

to this unit’s TIME CODE IN connector, connect an

external timecode generator or external VTR's

timecode output to the TIME CODE IN connector.

To synchronize with a timecode data contained in an

HDSDI signal input to this unit, set F1 (VIDEO IN) to

“SDI” in function menu page P01: HOME.

Set the timecode generator items as follows.

To synchronize with an external timecode signal

input to this unit’s TIME CODE IN connector:

• In function menu page P02: TC, set F1 (TCG SCR)

to “EXT LTC”.

To synchronize with the LTC data contained in an

HDSDI signal input to this unit:

are stored in memory. On passing the speed variation

end point, the F4 (DMC) changes from flashing to

continuously lit (pink), and the variable speed storing

ends.

Press the STOP button to stop the tape.

If the F4 (DMC) is lit before the speed variation

end point

This indicates that the memory became full at that point. It

is therefore not possible to memorize more speed

variations.

The maximum memory capacity is 120 seconds.

To correct the stored speed variation

Holding down the SHIFT/ENTRY button, select F2

(PREVIEW).

The interval between the speed variation start and end

points is automatically played back at the stored speed.

To carry out DMC playback

There are two methods of starting DMC playback.

• Starting playback at the on-air cue from the on-air start

point

• Starting playback immediately after preroll

• To avoid operating mistakes we recommend that you use

the VTR in standalone mode when carrying out DMC

playback.

• When using two VTRs connected for editing, you can

only use the recorder VTR for DMC playback, and also

only when neither the RECORDER nor PLAYER button

is lit. (For this unit, this applies when F6 (R/P SEL) in

function menu page P06: EDIT is not set.)

5-1 Automatic Editing

This section describes how to carry out automatic editing

with this unit and another VTR connected to the

REMOTE1-IN (9P) or REMOTE 1-OUT (9P) connector

of this unit.

For details of preparations, see Section “3-1 Connections

to External Devices” (page 27).

5-1-1 Overview

Editing mode

With this unit, you can use the following two edit modes

for automatic editing.

• Assemble editing

Successive portions of the edited result are recorded on

the end of the already completed section.

The CTL signal, video signal, audio signal, and

timecode signal are all newly recorded on the tape.

•Insert editing

New material is recorded at an intermediate point of an

existing recording.

The CTL signal is not overwritten. The video signal,

audio signal, and timecode signal can all be recorded

individually.

You can carry out DMC editing in both editing modes.

In insert editing, split editing is also possible.

To use CTL to interpolate timecode values

When you are using timecode values as edit point

addresses, the timecode must be recorded on the tape in

correct time sequence (i.e. the sections must be in strictly

ascending time order).

If the timecode values are all in correct time sequence, then

if there are any discontinuities in the timecode, the unit

interpolates them using the CTL count.

To record timecode

For automatic editing, regardless of the settings of F1

(TCG SRC) and F2 (TCG MODE) in function menu page

P02: TC, timecode is recorded continuously from the

timecode recorded before the edit IN point.

Using setup menu item 610, it is also possible to record

timecode according to the settings in the function menu.

Sequence of editing operations

The following flowchart outlines the sequence of

operations in automatic editing with two VTRs.

To use an editing control unit

When controlling this unit with an editing control unit, set

an edit delay on the editing control unit so that the cut-in

and cut-out commands are output 5 frames before the

actual edit point.

(INS VID) to F10 (INS A4))

When you select edit mode and display function menu

page P06: EDIT, the F9 (IN) and F10 (OUT) buttons begin

to flash, indicating that the edit points need to be set.

5-1-4 Setting Edit Points

Set the edit points (IN and OUT points). To use split

editing in insert mode, you can set the audio and video edit

points individually.

To set an edit point

Select F6 (R/P SEL) in function menu page P06: EDIT

to select the player or recorder to be set the edit points.

Each time F6 (R/P SEL) is selected, the target VTR

changes.

Rotate the search dial in jog or shuttle mode, and

position the tape at the required edit point.

For details of playback in jog or shuttle mode, see the

sections“Playback in jog mode” (page 38) and

“Playback in shuttle mode” (page 38).

At the point at which you want to set the edit IN or

OUT point, hold down the SHIFT/ENTRY button and

select F9 (IN) or F10 (OUT) in function menu page

P06: EDIT.

When the IN point or OUT point is set, the F9 (IN) or

F10 (OUT) is lit.

Repeat steps 1 to 3 until all the necessary edit points

are set.

When the edit IN points are set on both the recorder

and player, F2 (PREVIEW) and F1 (AUTOEDIT)

flash, and preview or editing operation becomes

possible.

To set the edit point automatically

Editing requires four edit points: each pair of IN and OUT

points on both the recorder and player. Once any three of

these points are defined, the last point is set automatically.

For example, if you set the recorder IN and OUT points,

and the player IN point, the player OUT point is set

automatically.

In the following cases, F7 to F10 (IN, OUT, AUD IN and

AUD OUT) begin to flash and you cannot carry out

automatic editing.

• The OUT point is before the IN point.

• All four of the recorder IN and OUT points and the

player IN and OUT points have been set.

Use the ALT/DELETE button to delete a unnecessary edit

point, or set the edit points correctly.

For details of deleting edit points, see the section “To

delete an edit point” (page 47).

To set split edit points

In split editing, you can set the edit points for audio and

video independently. Set the audio edit points using F7

(AUD IN) and F8 (AUD OUT) in function menu page P06:

EDIT, and set the video edit points using F9 (IN) and F10

(OUT).

Note that split editing is only possible when the recording

mode is insert editing.

(IN), F10 (OUT), F7 (AUD IN) or F8 (AUD OUT) to

set an edit point.

When the edit point is set, the selected button changes

from flashing to continuously lit.

Repeat steps 2 to 4 to set the required edit points.

As each edit point is set, the corresponding button

changes from flashing to continuously lit.

During split editing, if you set six or more edit points for

the recorder and player, F7 to F10 (AUD IN, AUD OUT,

IN and OUT) begin to flash. Editing cannot be carried out

in this state. Delete unnecessary edit points using the ALT/

DELETE button.

For details of how to delete edit points, see the section “To

delete an edit point” (page 47).

To set the edit points automatically in split

editing

Split editing requires a total of eight edit points: four video

edit points (player IN and OUT and recorder IN and OUT)

and four audio edit points (player audio IN and OUT and

recorder audio IN and OUT).

Once any five of these points are defined, the system

automatically calculates and sets the remaining three

points.

Specifically, once you have set three of the four video edit

points and two of the four audio edit points, the remaining

three edit points are set automatically, regardless of

whether these points are for the recorder or player.

In the figure below, the edit points shown within boxes are

already set. Other edit points (recorder audio OUT point,

and player audio IN and video OUT points) are set

automatically.

Note that any edit point can be deleted or corrected later

regardless of whether it was set manually or automatically.

You can set audio cut in, crossfade, fade in, and fade out

effects, including their durations, by menu selection.

For details, refer to the Installation Manual.

When the audio IN point is not set for insert

editing of audio only

As long as the audio OUT point is set, the VTR is ready for

preview or editing. In this case, the current tape position is

automatically used as the audio IN point.

To use a VTR without a split editing function as

the player

When it is not possible to set audio and video edit points

individually on the VTR you are using as the player, you

can carry out split editing by setting the audio IN and OUT

points and three video edit points on the recorder (this

unit).

To display the time data for an edit point

You can display the time data for an edit point in the time

data display (see page 17).

The edit points IN, OUT, AUDIO IN, and AUDIO OUT

are displayed in the ancillary message display.

• Preread editing

5-3-1 Quick Editing

After selecting the edit mode, you can reduce editing time

by setting the edit points and executing the editing at the

same time.

Use the following procedure.

Select F6 (R/P SEL) in function menu page P06: EDIT

to select the player or the recorder, and stop the tapes

on both the player (PLAYER) and recorder

(RECDER) at the positions you want to make the

respective IN points.

Holding down the SHIFT/ENTRY button, select F1

(AUTOEDIT).

Editing starts.

While monitoring the editing on the monitor, hold

down the SHIFT/ENTRY button and select F10

(OUT) at the position you want to make the edit OUT

point.

Editing ends.

The point at which you started the editing will be the

IN point, and the point at which you ended the editing

will be the OUT point.

To preview

In step 1, after setting the recorder or player edit IN point,

hold down the SHIFT/ENTRY button and select F2

(PREVIEW).

5-3-2 Continuous Editing

After an automatic editing, the recorder automatically

returns to the OUT point.

For the second and subsequent editing operations, you can

continue editing by simply specifying the IN and OUT

points on the player. In this case the current OUT point on

the recorder will be the new IN point.

After automatic editing of one edit segment, to carry out

continuous editing use the following procedure.

Set the player IN and OUT points.

Recorder OUT point for the previous editing will be

the new IN point.

Holding down the SHIFT/ENTRY button, select F2

(PREVIEW) in function menu page P06: EDIT to

carry out the preview.

Holding down the SHIFT/ENTRY button, select F1

(AUTOEDIT).

Editing starts.

When the editing is completed, the recorder stops at

the OUT point, and the player stops 2 seconds after the

OUT point.

By repeating this procedure, you can carry out continuous

editing.

By setting setup menu item 326, you can make the

previous OUT point automatically will be the new IN

point.

5-3-3 Standalone Editing

This refers to editing using an external device as the player

which cannot be remotely controlled via the REMOTE1-

IN (9P) or REMOTE 1-OUT (9P) connector. For example,

54 5-3 Special Automatic Editing Methods

Chapter 5 Editing

you can record a color bar signal from a signal generator in

the joints between the scenes of a finished tape.

To carry out standalone editing

Set the edit IN point with neither the recorder nor player

selected with F6 (R/P SEL).

F1 (AUTOEDIT) flashes, and it is now possible to carry

out automatic editing.

If necessary, you can also set the OUT point in advance.

5-3-4 Preread Editing

Video and digital audio signals already recorded on the

tape can be used as an edit source for insert editing.

This type of editing is called “preread editing”, and this

unit uses the preread heads to read the signals in advance

from the tape.

The read signals can be sent to a mixer for mixing, and can

be recorded either on the original channels or on other

digital audio channels.

For preread editing, set F3 (PREREAD) to “ON” in

function menu page P04: MISC-1 (see page 68).

• In preread editing, if an input video signal is used as the

reference signal, a loop connection between video input

and output on this unit may cause acoustic feedback

(howling). To prevent this, set F2 (REF VID) (see

page 67) to “REF” in function menu page P03: VID

PROC and set setup menu item 309 to “AUTO1” (see

page 85) so as to use an external reference signal.

• When the preread mode is selected, to prevent feedback

due to the loop connection, no E-E video is output in any

editing mode of this unit, however, if the loop

connection remains and an E-E signal is output,

feedback will occur.

To prevent this, select PB mode for the video and digital

audio channels in all editing modes before the preread

editing, as follows.

In function menu page P01: HOME, set F6 (PB/EE) to

“PB”.

In function menu page P04: MISC-1, set F3

(PREREAD) to “ON”.

Make the necessary connections for the preread

editing.

After selecting the desired insert edit mode, carry out

the preread editing.

When the preread editing is completed, remove the

connections.

Set the F3 (PREREAD) to “OFF”.

Check that no loop connection remains.

Shot Mark Function

6-1 Overview

This unit can write shot marks or use shot marks recorded

on HDCAM tape. Shot marks are indications at desired

points on a tape which enable faster cuing.

Types of shot mark

This unit supports the following three types of shot mark.

This chapter describes recording start marks and post

marks as varieties of shot marks.

First, the shot mark functions of this unit are described in

simple terms.

To read shot marks

This unit reads in shot marks written on a tape and stores

them in memory (to a maximum of 200).

When the data is stored in this unit, it is preserved even

when the unit is powered off.

To write and erase shot marks

For recording start marks, a menu setting determines

whether or not they are written each time recording starts.

Shot mark 1, shot mark 2, and post mark can be written at

any point on a tape, and also erased or rewritten.

Shot mark list operations

On the monitor, you can display a list of the shot marks

read in by this unit, select required shot marks, delete shot

marks, and so on. You can also add a memo mark (#) to a

shot mark in the list.

During tape playback, you can add virtual shot marks to

the list. This is not written on the tape itself and called

virtual shot mark.

To cue up to shot marks

By selecting a desired shot mark from the shot mark list,

you can cue up immediately to that position. By button

operation, you can also cue up to the shot marks adjacent

to the current tape position (index function).

Chapter 7 UMID Functions

UMID Functions

7-1 Overview

The UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a type of meta-

data in video and audio materials. It has been

internationally standardized in SMPTE Standard 330M.

This unit supports recording and output of UMIDs.

The UMID is made up of a section called the “Basic” and

a section called the “Source Pack”. The Basic section

contains information such as the device that recorded the

material and whether the material is the original or a copy.

The Source Pack section contains information about when/

where/who recorded the material.

A UMID with a Basic section only is called a “Basic

UMID”. A UMID with both Basic and Source Pack

sections is called an “Extended UMID”. The following

figure shows a general overview of the information

contained in a UMID.

7-2 Recording UMIDs

UMIDs can be recorded when recording video signals with

this unit. You can select whether to inherit (copy) the

UMID contained in input signals, or automatically or

forcibly generate a new UMID.

To select the type of UMID to record

Select whether to record a Basic UMID or an Extended

UMID by using setup menu item 655 “UMID

RECORDING”.

For more information about setup menu item 655, see

page 93.

To select whether to inherit or generate the

UMID

When recording a UMID, you can select whether to inherit

(copy) the UMID contained in input signals, or generate a

new UMID. Make this selection by using setup menu item

656 “MATERIAL NO.”.

For more information about setup menu item 656, see

page 93.

To select the Instance Number generation

method when inheriting UMIDs

If you select to inherit the UMID contained in input

signals, almost all information in the UMID is copied

without change, but the Instance Number changes to a

value which indicates that “this UMID is a copy”. The new

value can be generated from a 16-bit pseudo-random

number with the addition of the number of copies (1 byte),

or it can be generated from a 24-bit pseudo-random

number. Select the method used to generate the Instance

Number by using setup menu item 654 “UMID

GENERATE METHOD”.

106 10-4 Moisture Condensation / 10-5 Regular Checks

Chapter 10 Maintenance and Inspection

10-4 Moisture

Condensation

When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm

location, or used in a very humid place, moisture from the

air can condense on the head-drum. This is called moisture

condensation. If the tape is run in this state, it can adhere

to the drum and damage the tape. To prevent this, the unit

is provided with a moisture detecting function.

If moisture condenses on the head-drum while the unit is

in use, the ALARM indicator lights and “ERR-10” is

displayed in the time data display.

If this happens, the drum and capstan motors stop and the

cassette is automatically ejected. Then, the drum starts to

rotate again to dry its surface. In this state, the unit is not

operable. When the moisture has evaporated, the error

message disappears and the ALARM indicator goes off.

If “ERR-10” appears and the ALARM

indicator lights immediately after powering

the unit on

Leave the unit powered on and wait until the error message

disappears and the ALARM indicator goes off.

While the indicator is lit, you cannot insert a cassette.

When the indicator goes off and the error message

disappears, you can use the unit.

If you move the unit from a cold to a warm

location

Leave the unit powered off for about 10 minutes, since it

takes some time to detect moisture condensation in this

state.

10-5 Regular Checks

10-5-1 Digital Hours Meter

The digital hours meter in the time data display can display

seven items of information about the operational history of

the unit in each corresponding mode. Use it as a guide in

scheduling periodic maintenance.

Display modes of the hours meter

H01: OPERATION mode

Displays the total number of hours the unit has been

powered on in units of 1 hour.

H02: DRUM RUNNING mode

Displays the total number of hours the drum has run with

tape threaded in units of 1 hour.

H03: TAPE RUNNING mode

Displays the total number of hours the unit has been in fast

forward, rewind, playback, search, recording or editing

(except for stop and still) mode in units of 1 hour.

H04: THREADING mode

Displays the total number of times tape has been threaded

in the unit.

H12: DRUM RUNNING mode (resettable)

Same as H02 except that the count is resettable.

This can be used as a guide in determining when to replace

the drum.

H13: TAPE RUNNING mode (resettable)

Same as H03 except that the count is resettable.

This can be used as a guide in determining when to replace

components such as fixed heads and pinch rollers.

H14: THREADING mode (resettable)

Same as H04 except that the count is resettable.

This can be used as a guide in determining when to replace

components such as the threading motor.

knob to display the required item in the time data display.

To exit the digital hours meter

Select F10 (EXIT).

10-5-2 Maintenance Timings

Use the following table as a timing guide for checking and

replacing components of the unit.

These intervals are not guaranteed lifetimes; the timing for

replacing components depends on the conditions of use. In

particular, depending on the degree of contamination and

abrasion, pinch rollers and cleaners may require

replacement earlier than suggested by this table.

Note that an arrow in the table means that the component

to be replaced is part of the assembly the arrow points to,

which must be replaced as a whole.

For information on severe conditions (frequent threading/

unthreading) or how to replace components, refer to the

Maintenance Manual Volume 1.

For replacement and checking of components, contact a

Sony service or marketing representative.

Note

108 10-6 About the LCD

Chapter 10 Maintenance and Inspection

10-6 About the LCD

Note on faulty pixels on the LCD panel

The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with

high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel

ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of

pixels maybe “stuck”, either always off (black), always

on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a

long period of use, because of the physical characteristics

of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may

appear spontaneously. These problems are not a

malfunction. Note that any such problems have no effect

on recorded data.

116 About a “Memory Stick”

Appendix

About a “Memory Stick”

What is “Memory Stick”?

“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile

IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data

capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is

specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data

among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is

removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used for external

data storage.

“Memory Stick” is available in two sizes: standard size

and compact “Memory Stick Duo” size. Once attached to

a “Memory Stick Duo” adaptor, “Memory Stick Duo”

turns to the same size as standard “Memory Stick” and thus

can be used with products compliant with standard

“Memory Stick”.

Types of “Memory Stick”

“Memory Stick” is available in the following four types to

meet various requirements in functions.

“Memory Stick-R”

Stored data are not overwritten. You can write data to

“Memory Stick-R” with “Memory Stick-R” compatible

products only. Copyright protected data that requires

MagicGate copyright protection technology cannot be

written to “Memory Stick-R”.

“Memory Stick”

Stores any type of data except copyright-protected data

that requires the MagicGate copyright protection

technology.

“MagicGate Memory Stick”

Equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection

technology.

“Memory Stick-ROM”

Stores pre-recorded, read-only data. You cannot record on

“Memory Stick-ROM” or erase the pre-recorded data.

Available types of “Memory Stick”

You can use a “Memory Stick” and a “MagicGate Memory

Stick” with your product.

You cannot use a “Memory Stick Duo” with your product.

Note on data read/write speed

Data read/write speed may vary depending on the

combination of the “Memory Stick” and “Memory Stick”

compliant product you use.

What is MagicGate?

MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses

encryption technology.

Before using a “Memory Stick”

• When you set the “Memory Stick” erasure prevention

switch to “LOCK”, data cannot be recorded, edited, or

erased.

• Data may be damaged if:

- You remove the “Memory Stick” or turn off the unit

while it is reading or writing data.

- You use the “Memory Stick” in a location subject to

the effects of static electricity or electric noise.

• We recommend that you make a backup copy of

important data that you record on the “Memory Stick”.

• Do not attach anything other than the supplied label to

the “Memory Stick” labeling position.

• Attach the label so that it does not stick out beyond the

labeling position.

• Carry and store the “Memory Stick” in its case.

• Do not touch the connector of the “Memory Stick” with

anything, including your finger or metallic objects.

• Do not strike, bend, or drop the “Memory Stick”.

• Do not disassemble or modify the “Memory Stick”.

• Do not allow the “Memory Stick” to get wet.

• Do not use or store the “Memory Stick” in a location that

is:

- Extremely hot, such as in a car parked in the sun

- Under direct sunlight

- Very humid or subject to corrosive substances

“Memory Stick” access indicator

If the access indicator is lit on or is flashing, data is being

read from or written to the “Memory Stick”. At this time,

do not shake the computer or product or subject them to

shock. Do not turn off the power of the computer and

product or remove the “Memory Stick”. This may damage

the data.
