Why is recording not possible on my Sony DSR-2000AP DVR?
Recording may not be possible on your Sony DVR if the cassette's REC/SAVE switch is set to SAVE. To resolve this, set the REC/SAVE switch to REC, or use another cassette. Another reason could be that the REC INHIBIT switch on the subsidiary control panel is set to ON. In this case, set the REC INHIBIT switch on the subsidiary control panel to OFF.
What to do if the Sony DVR unit’s control buttons do not work?
If the control buttons on your Sony DVR unit aren't working, it might be because the KEY INHIBIT switch on the subsidiary control panel is set to ON.

In this case, set the CONTROL PANEL switch on the subsidiary control panel to INT or set extended menu item 117 to PARA.
What to do if the Sony DSR-2000AP DVR unit’s transport control buttons do not work?

Why is data not superimposed on the monitor screen with my Sony DVR?
If data is not superimposed on the monitor screen, ensure that the CHARACTER switch on the subsidiary control panel is set to ON. Also, verify that the monitor is connected to the VIDEO OUT 3 (SUPER) or SDI OUTPUT 3 (SUPER) connector of this unit, as this connection is necessary to display any type of text on the monitor.
Why does the 'NOT EDITABLE' indication appear on my Sony DSR-2000AP DVR?
The 'NOT EDITABLE' indication appears because the recording mode selected on this unit does not coincide with that of the loaded tape. Set the unit for the same recording mode as with the tape. If your current purpose is recording, you can use the tape currently loaded in the unit. Another reason is that the recording format of the currently loaded tape is DV or DVCPRO. You can use the currently loaded tape as a source tape for playback and editing, but you cannot use the tape as a recording tape for editing.

If they are, set the 75 ? termination switches to OFF on all monitors other than the loop-end monitor.
Why can't I set the time data to an optional initial value on my Sony DVR?
If you cannot set the time data to an optional initial value, it might be because the PRESET/REGEN switch on the subsidiary control panel is set to REGEN. Set the PRESET/REGEN switch on the subsidiary control panel to PRESET. Another reason could be that the counter value is selected as the time data for display (the COUNTER indicator is lit in the display section). Press the COUNTER SEL button to light the TC (time code) or U-BIT (user bits) indicator in the display section (the counter value cannot be preset).

Also, if the U-BIT indicator is lit in the display section, press the COUNTER SEL button to light the COUNTER (counter value) or TC (time code) indicator in the display section.
