While holding down the SET (YES) MARK button on the menu control panel, press the KAor Bkbutton. The time code value of the current tape position is set as point A or B, and a message “A set” or “B set” is displayed for 0.5 second in the time counter display.

Once set, the point A or B time code value is held in the non-volatile memory of the unit until changed. It is not lost when the unit is powered off.

Note

When setting point A or B, you can only use a time code value. Even when COUNTER is selected with the COUNTER SEL button, you cannot use a CNT value to set point A or B.

To check the point A or B time code value

Press the KAor Bkbutton on the menu control panel. While the button is held down, the point A or B time code value is displayed on the monitor and in the time counter display.

If you hold down the KAand Bkbuttons simultaneously, the value shown is the point B time code value minus the point A time code value. If the point A time code value is greater than the point B time code value, a minus sign (− ) is shown before the value.
