This VTR comes already programmed with menus that correspond to specific operating objectives, and the  
operations performed on each differ from one menu to another. When a menu is selected using a menu se-  
lection button, what appears on the display changes, and the function keys (F1 to F13) also implement the  
function corresponding to the respective menu items.  
SET UP menus are provided in order for the user to have settings on hand for the seldom used functions, etc.  
among the various menu items.  
The HOME menu is provided as the VTRs basic menu. It automatically appears on the display when the  
power has been turned on. (However, the IC CARD menu will automatically appear if an IC card has been in-  
serted.)  
ONoteN  
The animation display of a cassette tape appears after the cassette tape has been inserted.

elapsed. (The function takes effect only when the front panel  
controls are used for operation.)

Operation  
The menu item is set to ON or OFF for both the recording and playback systems simultane-  
ously: it is not possible to select the items setting for recording or playback only.  
Similarly, the menu item is set to ON or OFF for all channels CH1 to CH8 (or CH1 to CH4)  
simultaneously: it is not possible to select the items setting for specific channels only.  
If the DATA mode has been selected using F10 (STYLE) when the system format is 1080/59i  
4ch or 720/59p 4ch, the DATA mode setting takes precedence. (Recording and playback are  
conducted with the rate converter bypassed.)  
Formats supported  
The menu item is displayed and ON or OFF can be selected as its setting only with the system  
formats listed below.  
1080/23p (psf)_8ch, 1080/25p (psf)_8ch, 1080/50i_8ch, 1080/59i_8ch,  
720/59p_8ch,  
1080/59i_4ch,  
720/59p_4ch  
When 1080/24p(psf) 8ch has been selected as the system format, the menu display is cleared,  
and the rate converter is forcibly set to ON.  
When 525/59i 4ch, 525/59i 8ch or 625/50i has been selected as the system format, the menu  
display is cleared, and the rate converter is forcibly set to OFF.  
Precautions when selecting OFF as the rate converter setting  
The video input and AES input must be synchronized.  
The video output and reference signal selected by OUT REF must be synchronized.  
During P.PLAY playback, the frequency of the digital audio output ceases to be 48 kHz, and it  
is no longer possible for the signals to be received by external components.  
Similarly, during frame rate conversion playback (such as when a tape recorded at a system  
frequency of 23 Hz is to be played back at a system frequency of 25 Hz), it is no longer possi-  
ble for the signals to be received by external components.

°This item appears only when the 1080/23p, 1080/24p, 1080/50p or 1080/50i system format is used. When 30TC is  
selected as the setting, the continuity of the time code is guaranteed only in the 1t tape travel servo lock status.  
Bear in mind that the time code will be discontinuous at all other times.  
When the audio insert editing status has been established by selecting ON as the setting for the F6

Concerning the TC SYNC value and sync phase settings  
Since the TC is similarly converted when the 1080/23psf (p) or 1080/24psf (p) format is converted into the  
1080/59i (480/59i) or 1080/60i format, it is necessary to input the time information (TC SYNC value) that will  
serve as the reference for conversion and the 3:2 pull-down sequence (sync phase) of the post-conversion  
output images.  
Setting the TC SYNC value  
Input the pre-conversion TC with the frame count of 24 (24TC) and the post-conversion TC with the frame  
count of 30 (30TC)/25 (25TC) to serve as the reference for conversion.  
ONoteN  
When converting from 1080/25psf to 1080/23psf to 1080/59i (480/59i), or from 1080/25psf to 1080/24psf  
to 1080/60i  
Input the pre-conversion 25-frame count TC (25TC) value that will serve as the reference during conversion  
and the post-conversion 24/30-frame count TC (24TC)/(30TC) value. SYNC PHASE is valid during the 24TC  
to 30TC conversion.

EDIT CONTROLLER  
As shown in the above diagram of the system connections, this function enables audio insert editing on the  
23.98P tape of the model HD3700B even in an environment with a 30 Hz external device, and by so doing, the  
efficiency of the editing work is improved.  
Refer to the information provided later for details on the VTR menu settings.  
OEditing accuracyN  
With the model HD3700B, the IN/OUT point accuracy falls into one of the following three patterns since the  
signals are recorded with the video and input audio phases aligned (there is no misalignment between the  
audio and video phases) on the tape. (Bear in mind that, as shown in patterns 2 and 3, the IN and/or OUT  
points may shift.)

Audio insert editing function with 23.98 Hz VTR system and 30 Hz  
external operating environments  
OPoints to noteN  
The function will not work unless the following conditions are met.  
(a) The system frequency of the VTR must be set to 23.98 Hz.  
(b) The black burst reference signal must be connected.  
(c) The settings below must be selected for the following items on the TC/CHR CONVERT menu:  
RC_30SYS (F6) ON  
RC_TC (F10)  
30TC  
(d) Use the AES input or analog input as the audio input signals, and make sure that embedded audio signals  
are not selected.  
(Otherwise, the signals may be edited with the audio and video phases misaligned.)  
(e) The settings below must be selected for the following item on the INTERFACE SETUP menu:  
VAR LIMT (F10) OFF  
This function can be executed for audio insert editing only. Bear in mind that, in the status where the settings  
above have been completed, the following editing modes are prohibited and cannot be set.  
Assemble editing mode  
Insert (video) editing mode  
Insert (CUE selection) editing mode  
Insert (TC selection) editing mode  
Bear in mind that if, after the edit channel selection has been entered, one of the applicable prohibition condi-  
tions has been established from an external source (9-pin or 232C connector) or by loading a user file or by  
other means, the EDIT preset command or insert operation (video, CUE or TC) will be masked and executed.

Since, as shown in the figure above, the video and audio signals are synchronized in the system in which a  
tape recorded with a system frequency of 25 Hz is played back on a VTR with a system frequency of 23.98 (or  
24) Hz, this function enables 25 Hz TC information to be supplied to an external DAT device for synchronized  
operation with the VTR.  
When a 1080/25P recorded tape is to be played back in this way on a VTR with a system frequency of 23.98  
(or 24) Hz, the function makes it possible for the operator to select that the original 25-frame count TC record-  
ed on the tape be output from the LTC_OUT connector in addition to the 24-frame count TC.  
Conversely, when a 1080/23.98P or 1080/24P recorded tape is to be played back on a VTR with a system fre-  
quency of 25 Hz, the function enables not only the 25-frame count TC but also the original 24-frame count TC  
recorded on the tape to be output from the LTC_OUT connector.  
[Bear in mind that, with the model AJ-HD3700H, audio signals will not be output properly when a 23.98P (or  
24P) tape is played back on a VTR with a system frequency of 25 Hz.]  
In short, the function expands the ability of systems to support the connection with and operation of external  
devices, and it does this by making it possible for the original TC of pre-recorded tapes to be selected and out-  
put from the LTC_OUT connector even when the system frequency of the VTR is at variance from the fre-  
quency of the pre-recorded tapes in the manner explained above.  
Refer to page 87 for the VTR menu setting items.  
(Furthermore, the LTC waveforms which are output from the LTC_OUT connector using this function differ  
from the waveforms defined in the specifications. This is because the tapes are played back at a different  
speed from the speed at which they were recorded even when they are played back at the normal tape speed.)
