3)Use the LEFT and RIGHT keys to position the cursor by the “field” (minutes or seconds) that you want to change and use the UP and DOWN keys to alter the value.

You can also use the function keys to enter the value directly, as described in 5.2.2, “Using the function keys as number keys”.

Since there is little point in setting pre- and post- roll times to frame accuracy, you can only set these values to second accuracy.

The minimum values you can set are 5 seconds and the maximum value is 59 minutes 59 seconds.

Any punch operation from now will take your set- ting for pre-roll and use it when locating the tape to the punch-in point.

For example, if your pre-roll time has been set to 10 seconds (00:00:10:00), and the punch-in point is at 00:06:03:12, the tape will locate to 00:05:53:12 when starting rehearsal or punch-in.
