About This Manual

This Owner’s Manual contains the following sections.

Before Using the PR-80

This section includes cautionary notes regarding use of this device, descriptions of the front and rear

panels, and examples showing different ways to set up and connect the device.

Introduction to Use of the PR-80

This section goes over the procedural sequences used in operating the PR-80, provides descriptions

of the different screens, and explains how to use the PR-80 to play back video images.

Practical Use of the PR-80

This section explains how to control the PR-80 with external devices and provides detailed

instructions for using the PR-80’s functions, allowing you to gain full control of the device.

Reference

This section contains the MIDI Implementation, device specifications, and other data for the PR-80.

When First Operating the PR-80

• If operating the PR-80 for the first time, please read “Basic Workflow” (p. 25). This section

provides a general overview of operations using the PR-80, from turning on the power to playing

back and loading prepared data, in a manner that allows an easy grasp of how the PR-80 works.

• Most of the procedures involve using the mouse or keyboard while viewing the PR-80’s screens.

If you find you do not understand something during an operation, you can check the buttons

and features by referring to the descriptions of the various screens in “Names of Things and

What They Do” (p. 8).

Before Using the PR-80

Other Notes

About the Hard Disk

The PR-80 uses a hard disk for saving video and storing the system. Hard disks do have a limited

lifetime, and thus are considered a consumable item. Depending on how the unit is handled, the hard

disk may reach the end of its service life sooner than expected. Please be sure to observe the following

points to prevent loss of your important creations.

• Back up your projects by using a removable hard disk (DV-HD Series).

• As much as possible, stop playback and keep access to the hard disk to a minimum whenever

playback of video images is not required.

• If the unit is moved frequently, save projects to an optional removable hard disk (DV-HD Series),

and transport the hard disk separately from the PR-80, in the box that it came in when

purchased.

For more information regarding the removable hard disk (DV-HD Series), read “About the

Removable Hard Disk” (p. 138).

About the Shortcut Keys

You can reconfigure the shortcut keys used for the PR-80’s keyboard shortcuts. Although this manual

explains the keyboard shortcuts that use the Ctrl key, if the shortcut keys have been changed by

means of the system environment settings (p. 41), you’ll need to substitute the names of the shortcut

keys you have set while reading these explanations.

About the DV-7DLC Templates

The DV-7DLC template included with this unit makes it easier to understand the functions assigned

to the buttons when the optional DV-7DLC is used with the PR-80. Remove the detachable sheet on

the back of the template and apply the template to the DV-7DLC control panel, then remove the

protective sheet from the template’s front surface.

Before Using the PR-80

Setting Up and Connecting Equipment

Start by connecting the devices you will be using, such as video and audio devices used for output

and monitoring and the displays used for your operations. Whenever connecting devices, always be

sure to have the power turned off first. Connecting equipment with the power turned on may cause

malfunctioning and other problems.

The PR-80 comes with a DV (digital video) cable for use in connecting video devices equipped with

DV connectors to the PR-80’s DV connector. Use the included DV cable when connecting to the DV

connector. When connecting video tape recorders to the S-Video or video (composite) connectors, use

a commercially available video cable.

We recommend connecting to the S-Video connector if a VCR equipped with an S-Video connector

is to be connected to an analog connector. This provides higher quality video than that available with

the normal (composite) video connector.

• Electromagnetic interference produced by using the PR-80 near a television or radio may cause

unevenness in the TV screen picture color or produce noise in the radio.

• If connecting to a computer's IEEE1394 connector (also called i.LINK or FireWire), be sure to use

a DV cable that is compatible with your computer.

Connecting to a Computer Over a Network

Connect using a LAN cable. Connecting to the computer over a network allows you to copy data from

the computer to the PR-80 and access a network time server to adjust the PR-80’s timing.

Whenever making these connections, always make sure that the power for all devices is turned off.

Connecting equipment with the power turned on may cause malfunctioning and other problems

Using the PR-80 with MIDI

Using the optional UM-1 or other USB compatible (UM Series) MIDI interface enables you to control

MIDI devices with MIDI signals. Additionally, you can connect a V-LINK compatible device and use

the V-LINK feature to enjoy a variety of video effects that bring visual element of expression to your

performances.
