4-1 Registering and Storing Menu Settings

The operating conditions of the VTR are set using the menu operation section on the lower control panel. Menu items are divided among eight different menus (HOME, TC, VIDEO, AUDIO, CUE, PF1, PF2, SET UP). You can register any frequently used items to the HOME, TC, VIDEO, AUDIO, PF1, and PF2 menu screens. By registering the necessary items in advance, setting operations are made quicker. The contents of the eight VTR memory banks can, in turn, be stored on a memory stick for later recall.
