    Connection With an External VTR
    The unit is equipped with an interface which enables recording to be performed by an external
    VTR.
    ÁMounting the AJ-YA900P 26-pin/12-pin output adaptor (option) and connecting the 26-pin cable
    (option) to the unit allows recording to be performed by the VTR section (internal VTR) of the unit
    and an external VTR. The component video signal is output from the 26-pin interface.
    Precautions When Connecting an External VTR
    ÁSet 26P CONTROL on the “VTR FUNCTION” setting menu to “BOTH” or “ON”.
    (The factory setting is “OFF”.)
    ÁSet SW201 on the CAM ENC board to ON. (Before the unit was shipped from the factory, this
    switch was set to OFF.)
    Power supply
    Power is not supplied or received between the unit and the external VTR, so special power sup-
    plies should be provided for each unit. The BATT lamp and remaining battery level display func-
    tion inside the viewfinder indicate the power supply status only for the internal VTR. The power
    supply status for the external VTR should be checked at the external VTR.
    TALLY lamp and REC lamp operation
    The unit’s TALLY lamp and the REC lamp inside the viewfinder indicate the REC status of the unit
    when 26P CONTROL is set to BOTH. When 26P CONTROL is set to ON, these lamps indicate
    the REC status of the external VTR.
    Warning tone
    External VTR-related warning tones are not output from the unit’s speaker or PHONES jack.
    Note on connecting cables
    The signals may not be connected properly with some cables.
    The signal assignments for the 26-pin/12-pin output adaptor AJ-YA900P (optional) are shown in
    the following table. Use this table as a reference for connection with an external VTR.

    Recording Simultaneously with the Internal VTR and an External
    VTR
    Connections
    Mount the AJ-YA900P 26-pin/12-pin output adaptor (option) to the unit, connect the external VTR
    with the 26-pin cable, and set the audio input level selector switch of the external VTR to
    “p60 dB”.
    SW201 on the CAM ENC Printed Circuit Board of the unit must be set to ON side.
    (See page 104.)
    Checking the Function Settings
    Check that the function to control the 26-pin interface has been set to “BOTH” or “ON” on the “VTR
    FUNCTION” SUB menu page of the MAIN menu screen 2 of 4. See “Selecting Functions” for a
    description of the various function settings.
    Starting Recording
    1Operate the external VTR and set it to recording paused status.
    2Press the VTR START button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens. The internal and
    external VTRs start recording simultaneously. Pressing the button again sets both VTRs to
    the recording paused status.
    If One VTR Comes to the End of its Tape During Recording
    Even if one VTR comes to the end of its tape and stops, the other VTR continues recording oper-
    ation.
    Returning the VTRs to simultaneous recording status
    ÁIf the internal VTR came to the end of its tape, replace the cassette and press the VTR START
    button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens. The external VTR continues recording operation
    during this time.
    ÁIf the external VTR came to the end of its tape, replace the cassette and operate the external
    VTR to restart recording. The internal VTR continues recording operation during this time.
    |Note{
    Care should be taken as the internal VTR will assume recording paused status if the VTR START
    button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens is pressed after replacing the external VTR’s
    cassette.

    Functions of the Unit’s VTR SAVE/STBY Switch
    Tape running mode
    Pressing the unit’s STOP, REW or FF buttons sets the internal VTR to stop, rewind or fast forward
    modes, respectively. However, the external VTR is set to recording paused status in all cases.
    Viewing playback images on the viewfinder
    Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button allows black-and-white images from the tape of the internal
    VTR to be viewed on the viewfinder screen.
    To view return images of an external VTR on the viewfinder screen, set RET SW on the “REC
    (ASPECT)/PB/RET” SUB menu page to “CAM RET”, and press the RET button on the lens.

    Recording With an External VTR Instead of the Internal VTR
    Using the 26-pin/12-pin Output Adaptor
    Connections
    The method of connecting the external VTR is the same as that described in “Recording Simulta-
    neously with the Internal VTR and an External VTR”.
    ÁSee “Connections” on page 101.
    Mounting the 26-pin/12-pin output adaptor
    ÁConsult your local dealer when mounting the adaptor.
    1Set the unit’s internal switches.
    1Remove the side panel on the display window side.
    2Remove the printed circuit board holder, and take out the CAM ENC (2) printed circuit
    board.
    3Set SW201 to the ON side.
    4Take out the SYNC (3) printed circuit board.
    5Set SW1 (26PIN) to the ON side.
    6To set the audio level to p20 dB, set the SW4701 DIP switch accordingly.

    Recording With an External VTR Instead of the Internal VTR
    2
    Mount the 26-pin/12-pin output adaptor.
    Controlling the external VTR with the unit’s switches
    Setting the 26P CONTROL function as indicated below on the “VTR FUNCTION” SUB menu page
    of the MAIN menu screen 2 of 4 prevents the internal VTR from being operated and enables only
    the external VTR to be controlled by the VTR START button on the unit or by the VTR button on
    the lens.
    Á26P CONTROL: ON
    ÁSee “Selecting Functions” (page 69) for a description of the VTR FUNCTION page operations.
    Switching from the internal VTR to the external VTR
    If the internal VTR should develop a problem (such as an entangled tape or condensation) during
    operation and it can no longer be operated, the VTR START button on the unit and the VTR button
    on the lens will cease to function.
    In these cases, it will be possible to operate the external VTR in place of the internal VTR using
    the VTR START button on the unit and the VTR button on the lens if the 26P CONTROL function
    on the VTR FUNCTION page is set as indicated above.
    Starting recording
    Operate the external VTR to set it to recording paused status and press the VTR START button of
    the unit or the VTR button of the lens. The external VTR starts recording. Pressing the button
    again sets the VTR to the recording paused status.
    Output level of the 26-pin/12-pin output adaptor
    The output level factory settings are p60 dBu/balanced for audio and SONY level for component
    video. When the built-in SW4701 switch is set, the audio output level can be changed to p20 dBu/
    unbalanced, and when both 1 and 2 of SW1 are set to ON, the component video output level can
    be changed to the MII level. (See previous page)

    RET But ton
    The images recorded on the VTR or the return video signals which have been supplied to the
    GENLOCK IN/(VIDEO IN) connector can be viewed on the viewfinder screen either when the RET
    (return) button is pressed or while it is held down.
    What appears on the viewfinder screen differs as shown in the table below depending on the RET
    SW setting selected on the “REC (ASPECT)/PB/RET” SUB menu page of MAIN menu page 3 of 4
    and on the VTR status.
    |Note{
    However, when VIDEO has been selected as the REC SIGNAL setting on the “REC (ASPECT)/
    PB/RET” SUB menu page (when externally input signals are recorded), the external input will
    appear on the viewfinder screen except while the RET button is held down: in the latter case, the
    camera image will appear instead on the viewfinder screen.

    Replacing the Backup Battery
    The unit is shipped from the factory with a backup battery already mounted. When the battery runs
    out, the TCG time code value indicates 00:00:00:00.
    At this time, the time code value cannot be backed up.
    In addition, the “BACK UP BATT EMPTY” display appears in the viewfinder for 3 seconds when
    the POWER switch is set to ON to indicate that the battery must be replaced.
    Consult your dealer when replacing the battery.
