<Notes>
zThe picture quality deteriorates when repeat playback is initiated for the same tape over and over again. As a general rule of thumb, replace the tape with a new one after playing back the tape for about 100 times.
zThe output images to be displayed while the tape is being rewound to the BEGIN point in the repeat playback mode can be set using menu item No.163 REPT MODE.
If “FREEZE” is selected as the REPT MODE setting and the tape end has been set as the END point, the playback image will not be frozen properly. Set the END point at a place on the tape where images have been recorded.
zIf the counter display mode (TC or CTL), which was established when menu item No.161 CTL (TC) BGN and No.162 END were set, is different from the counter display mode (TC or CTL) in which repeat playback is to be initiated, the repeat lamp flashes, and the repeat playback operation cannot be performed.
