Performing DMC playback

There are two methods of starting DMC playback.

•Starting playback at the on-air cue from the on-air start point

•Starting playback immediately after prerolling

Notes

•To avoid operation errors, we recommend that you use the VTR alone when performing DMC playback.

•If two VTRs are connected for editing, you can still perform DMC playback, but only on the recorder VTR, and only when both the RECORDER and PLAYER buttons are off.
