While holding down the SET (YES) MARK button on the menu control panel, press the KAor Bk button. 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 Bk button 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.
