Reel
See page 53 on how to insert a cassette. Turn the reel gently in the direction shown by the
arrow. If the reel does not move, there is no slack.
Insert the cassette into the cassette holder, close the
cassette holder, and after about 10 seconds take it out.
Recording on the Internal VCR
• When using a tape recorded by the DSR-500WSL/
500WSPL to transfer digital (video/audio/time code)
signals at four times normal speed from the DSR-85/
85P Digital Videocassette Recorder to the ES-7
EditStation for editing purposes, there must be about
at least 40 seconds of recording on the tape before the
IN point. To perform editing without problems, it is
recommended that you pre-record at least 40
seconds of color bar signals at the beginning of the
tape.
• When dubbing tapes using the DSR-70/70P, a
continuous recorded section of approximately five
seconds is required before the recording start point. It
is recommended to record beforehand color bars or a
similar signal at the start point of the source tape to
be dubbed on this unit.
This section describes basic recording operations using
the internal VCR.
Notes
• When you will not perform ClipLink shooting, set the
ClipLink function to oFF in the VCR menu. (See
page 109 for menu setting and see page 68 for details
of ClipLink shooting.)
• Before shooting, mount or connect any required
equipment or accessories and check the power
supply. (See Chapter 2 “Fitting and Connections”.)
Also, it is desireable to make sure for problems in
camcorder’s internal operations using the auto-check
function. (See “Menu 210 Using Auto-Check
Function” on page 107.)
