Push in the record-protect plug. To restore the tape for recording, return the plug to its original position. Chapter 3 Preparations To eject cassettes With the system powered on, press the EJECT button on the control panel. The tape is unthreaded and the cassette is automatically ejected. To cancel the ejection before it is finished, press any of the other operation buttons before the cassette is completely ejected. The cassette ejection operation is canceled and the operation corresponding to the button you pressed starts. To remove a cassette with the system powered off Proceed as follows if you need to remove a cassette with the SRW-1 powered off, because the battery pack is exhausted or for some other reason. When a cassette with the plug in this position is inserted into the recorder, the REC INHI indicator lights up on the control panel display and recording will not start, even if you press the REC and PLAY buttons. To restore the tape for recording, return the plug to its original position. Cassette insertion slot 1 Power off the SRW-1 and SRPC-1. 2 Open the rubber cover by pressing the depression on the left side of the cover with your finger, pushing it toward the right, and lifting up the left edge of the cover. 3 Use a screwdriver to press in the screw inside, and rotate the screw in the clockwise direction until the cassette insertion slot cover opens. There is no need to return the screw to its original position after you remove the cassette. Normal operation resumes again the next time you power the system on. For the method of ejecting the cassette after a slack error (forcible eject), refer to the Maintenance Manual. 3-7 Handling Cassettes 37 Chapter 3 Preparations 38 3-7 Handling Cassettes Menu Settings Chapter 4 TCR 4-1 Basic Menu Operations 4-1-1 Displaying Menus The menu system of the joined SRW-1/SRPC-1 consists of four setup menus. TCG [TCG Source]: The same source as the source of the internal timecode generator INT [Internal]: Timecode generated by the timecode generator. Arbitrary user bits settings (see page 57) are possible, regardless of the "TCG" setting. 12H [+/­12H]: 12-hour display mode 24H [24H]: 24-hour display mode Note When +/­12H display is selected, the tens digit of the hours value is dropped for values less than 10. Note UBG SOURCE These settings are valid only when the TCG MODE item is set to PRST. 12H/24H OTHERS(MAIN) Other settings related to main timecode TC OUT Selects the timecode output from the TC OUT connector. AUTO [Auto]: During playback, timecode read by the internal timecode reader. During recording (including E-E mode), timecode generated by the timecode generator is output, delayed by 1 frame. (This maintains synchronization with the output video). TCG [TCG]: Timecode generated by the timecode generator is output, delayed by 1 frame. (This maintains synchronization with the output video). THRU [Through]: Through output of timecode input to the TC IN connector TCG (No Delay): Timecode generated by the timecode generator is output, with no delay. (The timecode is out of synchronization with the output video, being 1 frame in advance of the video. ) Select this setting when you want to synchronize other devices, using the timecode generator of this unit as the master. [. . . ] During SDI DUAL input, the phase difference between SDI input A and B is outside the allowable range. The format of the SDI input signal does not match the system setting. The Interlaced/progressive format of the SDI input signal does not match the settings of this unit. Audio signal processing circuits are not active. [. . . ]
