Before performing the adjustments, check the data of page: 0,
address: 10 is “00”. If not, set data: 00 to this address.

1)

The adjustments of this unit are performed in the VTR mode
or camera mode.
To set to the VTR mode, set the power switch to “VCR” (or
“PLAYER”) or set the “Forced VTR Power ON mode” using
the adjusting remote commander (Note2).
To set to the Camera mode, set the power switch to “CAMERA”
or set the “Forced Camera Power ON mode” using the adjusting
remote commander (Note3).
After completing adjustments, be sure to exit the “Forced VTR
Power ON Mode” or “Forced Camera Power ON Mode”.

When reading or writing the 1B, 1F page data, select page: 0,
address: 10, and set data: 01, then select B or F page. The 1B or
1F page can be chosen by this data setting.
After reading or writing, reset the data of page: 0, address: 10 to
“00”.

Before performing the adjustments, check the data of page: 0,
address: 10 is “00”. If not, set data: 00 to this address.
