Executing DMC Playback

7Turn the search dial to vary the playback speed.

While the MEMORY indicator is flashing, the speed variations are stored in memory. On passing the speed variation end point, the MEMORY indicator changes from flashing to continuously lit, and the variable speed storing ends.

8Press the STOP button to stop the tape.

If the MEMORY indicator lights continuously before the speed variation end point

This indicates that the memory became full at that point. It is therefore not possible to record more speed variation. The maximum capacity is a duration of 120 seconds.

To amend the stored speed variation

Press the PREVIEW button.

The interval between the speed variation start and end points is automatically played back at the stored speed. Operate the search dial as required, to adjust the playback speed.

Setting the initial speed to normal speed

In step 5, press the PLAY button.

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 preroll

Notes

To avoid operating mistakes we recommend that you use the VCR in standalone mode when carrying out DMC playback.

When using two VCRs connected for editing, you can only use the recorder VCR for DMC playback, and only when both the RECORDER and PLAYER buttons are off.
