Monitoring signals during editing

In CONFI mode, you can monitor video and audio signals that are just being edited.

Through a menu setting, you can also monitor signals between preroll and postroll points, including portions between IN and OUT points, through the CONFI (confidence) heads during editing. Set the [F2] (CONFI) button in HOME menu to on.

Use 316. CONFIDENCE PB MODE in the VTR SETUP menu to select the CONFI playback mode.

The following procedure allows you to perform editing effectively even when using only one monitor.

1 Connect the recorder VTR to the monitor.

2 Set 008. MONITOR SEL in the VTR SETUP menu to AUTO.

3 Press the PLAYER button on the recorder VTR to place the recorder into E-E mode.
