VTR memory banks

These memory banks allow you to store up to eight pages of VTR settings in addition to the current VTR settings. Factory settings are also stored here, allowing the VTR to be reset to these values at any time.

Memory sticks

Each memory stick can hold the current VTR settings as well as up to eight pages of settings. A single memory stick thus allows you to store and recall the entire contents of the VTR memory banks.

Title function

This function allows you to add titles when storing data to the VTR memory bank or memory stick, thus facilitating data retrieval and management.

Write protect function

Setting pages stored in VTR memory banks or memory sticks can be write protected on an individual basis.
