Use the following tips to get better results
when archiving to a VTR tape:
Set
the system reference of the VTR to External Analog.
Track
the VTR to get the best RF (Reference) value and error-rate level.
If your VTR has an auto-tracking feature, disable it and track manually,
or place it on “one shot.”
Click
the Engineering button and check the following Engineering menu
settings:
Timecode
type: Make sure the VITC & LTC timecodes are the same. If they
are not, set timecode type to LTC.
Input
format and sync: Make sure that input format and sync match the
device.
Output
format and sync: “House” is the recommended output sync.
