Recording
This flowchart shows the steps for recording the digital signals which are supplied to the unit from an external
digital device.
11. Check the connections.
12. Turn on the power.
13. After making sure that no cassette tape is inserted in this unit, set the system frequency
59.94, 23.98, 24, 25 or 50 by F1 (FREQ) key of the SYSTEM SET UP menu.

The frequency setting is possible when the two keys, F and F1 are pressed at the same time.
Select the frequency by cursor key [3, 4] and press the BS and ENT keys at the same time,
then the frequency is secured. In 59 Hz mode, the selection window will be further displayed
(1080i/525i/720p). Select the format by the cursor key, and press the BS and ENT keys at
the same time to secure the format. When the 1080i or 720p format has been selected, se-
lect its 4-channel or 8-channel audio version, and enter the format by pressing the BS and
ENT keys at the same time.
In the 23.98 Hz, 24 Hz or 25 Hz mode, a window appears offering the user the option of se-
lecting PsF or P for the VIDEO signal interface format. When the format is selected using the
cursor keys [3, 4] and the BS key and ENT key are then pressed together, the format is en-
tered. In the same way, the HD MAIN output and HD MONI output formats are selected using
the cursor keys [3, 4] and then entered by pressing the BS key and ENT key together.
(The table below lists the possible combinations of the output signals of the video output
connectors. These combinations are available only when the AJ-UDC3700P option has
been installed.)

≥ The REF synchronization specifications applying when the 1080/23p, 24p or 25p True-P (Non-PsF) system
format is selected are the same specifications as for the PsF system format. Use an interlace format signal
for the HD tri-level SYNC signal.
≥ The True-P (Non-PsF) input/output interface does not support EMBEDDED AUDIO/TC/VANC.
≥ The enhance and filter response picture quality adjustments do not work for True-P (Non-PsF) outputs.
≥ Other signals cannot be superimposed onto HD monitor outputs using True-P signals.
≥ When PsF signals have been recorded using a PsF system format and they are subsequently played back
using a True-P system format, the PsF signals are converted into True-P signals. Conversely, when True-P
signals have been recorded using a True-P system format and they are subsequently played back using a
PsF system format, the True-P signals are converted into PsF signals.
≥ Bear in mind that when recording 1080/50i signals using the 1080/25PsF system format, the signals will be
recorded but the images will be blurred.

TEST IC CARD menu
Preparations
When an error to be logged has occurred, this unit enables information on the date and time of the occurrence
of the error to be recorded in addition to the TC information in the log. Initial registration of the date and time
is required in order for this information to be recorded. Bear in mind that if the unit’s power has been off for
more than one week, it will be necessary to re-register the date and time.
How to register the date and time
When TEST and then the F13 key are pressed, a menu appears.
1. Press the center cursor key.
The year display at the top center of the front panel now appears as a white-on-black display.
2. Use the number keys to change the date and time.
Use the cursor keys (2, 1) to move the white-on-black display to the location where the information is to
be changed, and change the information using the number keys.
3. After having changed and registered the date and time information, press the ENT key to enter it.
