REC MODE
Switches the recording mode between DVCAM and DV (SP mode only). When you play
back a tape, the DVCAM/DV setting will be automatically switched; you do not need to use
this item.
Records in DVCAM format.
DV SP: Records in DV format (SP mode).
• This unit is not compatible with playing or recording in LP mode of the consumer DV format.
• You cannot change the setting while recording.
• It is recommended that you record in the DVCAM format. There are some limitations with
respect to DV recording depending on machine specifications and the consumer DV
format as follows:
- The head system is optimized for DVCAM recording. A DV recording overwrites the last
track just before the beginning of the recording. As a result, at the border of these two
recorded portions, picture and sound may be distorted.
- The sound will be recorded unsynchronized. (unlock mode)
- The time code is fixed to the drop frame mode. (only for NTSC)
- The DV IN TC setting on the OTHERS menu turns invalid. The unit records internal time
code.
• If you dub a consumer DV tape from the DV IN/OUT connector on this unit, keep the
following in mind:
- Set the REC MODE to DV SP. If the REC MODE has been set to DVCAM, a tape with
an invalid format (recording speed: DVCAM, sound: unsynchronized, unlock mode) will
be made. (The unit cannot convert unlock mode sound to lock mode sound.)
- If you edit a tape with an invalid format in the DSR-70/70P, DSR-80/80P, DSR-85/85P,
DSR-2000/2000P, etc., there may be some restrictions.
For details on DVCAM/DV format compatibility, see "Compatibility of DVCAM and DV
Format" on page 55.
