The BVW-22P videocassette player is primarily designed for use as an “office viewer.”
The unit is so compact that it can also be conveniently used on the road or wherever
ease and simplicity of operation are demanded.
The BVW-22P uses the “Betacam SP” (Superior Performance) format to enhance the
video
and
audio
quality
and
achieve
longer
playback
time.
Connecting
the
unit
to
a
video monitor or a conventional TV receiver allows you to readily view either small size
(max.
playback
time
of
36
minutes)
or
large
size
(max.
playback
time
of
100
minutes)
cassette-taped
video
programs.
Reproduction
of
four
audio
channels
(two
longitudinal
and two AFM audio channels) is possible.
The
unit
also
maintains
playback
compatibility
with
conventional
“Betacam”
VTRs
and
is
capable
of
playing
back
both
oxide-taped
and
metal
particle-taped
programs.
This
unit
cannot
be
used
as
a
player
in
video
tape
editing.

HTAEE
Enhanced ease of operation and improved functions
Controllable on the front panel
Cassette insertion/ejection and other operations can be performed on the front control
panel.
Supplied remote control unit
Playback, search and other frequent operations can be performed using the supplied
remote control unit. You may connect the remote contro! unit to the BVW-22P by the
supplied cable, or you may operate it in the wireless mode.
Built-in RF modulator
RF-modulated video and audio signals are output from the player's RF OUT connector,
and can be monitored on a conventional TV receiver.
Computer servo system
The CPU controls four direct drive DC motors for the drum, capstan and two reels to
enable quick and accurate tape access.
Audio noise reduction system
The noise reduction system of Dolby C type NR* is used for channels 1 and 2 (LNG
audio), which can be turned on/off as required when an oxide tape is played back. For
channels 3 and 4 (AFM audio), is used the “Betacam” noise reduction system (fixed
emphasis, 1-to-2 logarithmic compression/expansion).
Built-in time code reader
The time code (LTC**) or user bit data can be read by the built-in time code reader
during playback.
Display and superimposition of time data
A time counter is provided which can selectively display CTL, time code (LTC**), or
user bit data. These time data can be superimposed on video signals to be output
from the VIDEO OUTPUT, RF OUT or MONITOR connector.
*Dolby noise reduction manufactured under license from
Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
“Dolby” and the double-D symbol 00 are trademarks of
Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
*+ LTC (Longitudinal Time Code): Time code recorded on the
longitudinal time code track.

Self-diagnostics
If
the
unit
cannot
be

normally
owing
to
a
certain
error,
the
self-diagnostics
function
detects
the
cause
and
indicates
the
corresponding

code
number
on
the
time
counter/HOURS
