Variable memory playback operation procedure

The variable memory mode can be selected by setting F6 (VARMEM) on the <HOME SHIFT> menu to

F6 (VARMEM) is set to “OFF,” the variable memory mode is canceled, and the regular mode is established.

<Note>

Bear in mind that when the 23/24 Hz or 25 Hz (HD or SD) mode has been selected as the system menu

item No.25 (SYSTEM FREQ) setting, F6 (VARMEM) will no longer appear on the display and the variable memory mode cannot be selected.

Outline

This VTR is provided with two variable memory functions, as follows. These functions can be used in the variable memory mode.

Variable memory playback:

Any section of the tape can be played back at variable speeds in the VAR mode, the changes in the speed can be stored in the memory, and the tape can be played back at the memorized speed.

Variable memory editing:

Using the VTR as a controller (recorder in the deck-to- deck mode) to control the playback speed of the player, editing can be performed in the variable speed mode.

To perform variable memory playback operations, set the VTR to the variable memory mode, and take the steps below.

1 Register the IN point using the SET button and IN button. There is no need to set the OUT point for variable memory playback.

2 Set the initial speed (j1.0k to i2.0k) using the search dial while holding down the SET button.

3 When the SET button and PREVIEW/REVIEW button are pressed at the same time, the tape is automatically prerolled and played back at the initial speed setting up to the IN point.

4 After the tape has passed the IN point, turn the search dial to store the playback speed in the memory.

5 Press the STOP button to stop the tape.

6 When the PREVIEW/REVIEW button is pressed, variable memory playback is performed at the memorized speed.

<Notes>

•After passing the IN point, the tape is played back in accordance with the settings in the memory, and it continues to run at the last speed stored in the memory until the STOP button is pressed.

•Whatever 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.”
