4 While monitoring the TV monitor, search the position where the editing is to be started (IN point), and press the PLAY and EDIT buttons together at this position.

5 Similarly, while monitoring the TV monitor, search the position where the editing is to be terminated (OUT point), and press the PLAY or STOP button at this posi- tion. The VTR is set to the PLAY or STOP mode, and the editing is terminated.

Preroll

Press the PREROLL button.

The VTR now performs the preroll operation.

When the cue time has been registered on the HOME, PF1 or PF2 screen:

The tape is prerolled from the registered cue time using the preroll time which was set using F1 (PREROL) on the <HOME SHIFT> menu.

When the search mode is established on the CUE screen: The tape is prerolled from the selected cue point using the preroll time which was set using F5 (CU-ROL) on the <CUE SHIFT> menu.

The preroll operation is not performed when the selected cue point has not been registered or when the cue point registration mode is established.

In all other situations:

The tape is prerolled from the registered IN point (or the current tape position when the IN point has not been registered) using the preroll time which was set using F1 (PREROL) on the <HOME SHIFT> menu.

If the PREROLL button is pressed when the IN point has not been registered, the current tape position is automatically registered as the IN point [but only when ENA has been selected as the setup menu item No.305 (AUTO ENTRY) setting].

<Note>

The time code or CTL signal must be continuously recorded between the edit IN point and preroll point.
