Connection With an External VTR
The unit is equipped with an interface which enables recording to be performed by an external
VTR.
Á Mounting the AJ-YA900P or AJ-YA700P 26-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
Set 26P CONTROL on the FUNCTION 3/5 page of the setting menu to BOTH or ON. (The set-
ting is OFF when shipped from the factory.)
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 indi-
cate 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 output adaptor AJ-YA900P (optional) or AJ-YA700P (op-
tional) are shown in the following table. Use this table as a reference for connection with an ex-
ternal VTR.
