To perform variable memory editing operations, set this VTR, which is connected as the recorder to the variable memory mode, and take the steps below.

1 Select the editing mode on the <ASSEMBLE> or <INSERT> menu.

2 Select the VTR to be operated by pressing the RECORDER or PLAYER button.

3 Register the IN and OUT points using the SET button and IN and OUT buttons. The player’s OUT point cannot be registered.

4 Press the PLAYER button to select the player VTR, and then set the initial speed using the search dial while holding down the SET button.

5 When the SET button and PREVIEW/REVIEW button are pressed at the same time, the tapes in both the player and recorder are automatically prerolled, and the player VTR plays back the tape at the initial speed setting up to the IN point.

6 After the tape has passed the IN point, turn the search dial to store the playback speed of the player VTR in the memory.

7 When the tape passes the OUT point that was set by the recorder, the storing of the playback speed in the memory ends.

8 When the AUTO EDIT button is pressed, variable memory editing is executed. Once editing has been executed, the memorized speeds will be cleared except for the initial speed which is not cleared.

9 By pressing the PREVIEW/REVIEW button, the edited results can be checked.

<Notes>

zWhatever is stored in the memory will be cleared when the VTR exits the variable memory mode. It is also cleared when the POWER switch is set to “OFF.”

zPhase synchronization is not performed during playback up to the IN point of the variable memory editing. Therefore, depending on the VTR used as the player and its speed setting, no guarantees are made for the accuracy of the IN point.

zWhen conducting variable memory editing in the speed range of j1.0k to i2.0k, use VTRs with which these speeds are guaranteed for both the recorder and player.
