PTRIM buttons

These buttons are used to make fine adjustments to the IN or OUT point.

By pressing the i or j button while the IN button or OUT button is held down, the registered edit point can be adjusted in 1-frame increments. When the i button is pressed, the point is moved ahead by one frame; conversely, when the j button is pressed, it is moved back by one frame.

The playback phase can be adjusted by pressing the i or j button while holding down the PLAY button.

QREW button

When this button is pressed, the tape is rewound.

The rewinding speed can be selected using setup menu item No.102 (FF.REW MAX).

RSTOP button

When this button is pressed, the tape stops traveling, and if TAPE is selected as the F1 OUTPUT setting on the <HOME> menu, still pictures can be monitored.

Even in the stop mode, the drum continues to rotate, and the tape remains tightly wound around the drum. Therefore, when the VTR is left in the stop mode beyond a specific period of time, it is automatically set to the standby OFF mode in order to protect the tape. The VTR is set to the stop mode immediately after the cassette has been installed.

SFF button

When this button is pressed, the tape is fast forwarded. The fast forwarding speed can be selected using setup menu item No.102 (FF.REW MAX).

TEDIT button

This button is pressed together with the PLAY button during playback to initiate manual editing.

When the button is pressed in the stop mode, the input signals in the mode selected by the <ASSEMBLE> menu or <INSERT> menu can be monitored in the E-E mode.

When the STOP button is pressed, the original picture and sound are restored.

During playback, search, fast forwarding or rewinding, the input signals in the mode selected by the <ASSEMBLE> menu or <INSERT> menu can be monitored in the E-E mode while the button is held down.

<Note>

No guarantees are made for the sound played back in the search mode.

UPLAY button

Press this button to start playback.

When this button is pressed together with the REC button, recording starts; when this button is pressed together with the EDIT button during playback, manual editing starts.

However, manual editing will not be initiated if the servo is not locked. When only the PLAY button is pressed during manual editing, editing is exited, and the playback mode is established.

VREC button

When this button is pressed together with the PLAY button, recording starts.
