When the audio IN point is not set for insert editing of audio only

As long as the audio OUT point is set, the VTR is ready for preview or editing. If the audio IN point has not been set, the current tape position is automatically used as the audio IN point.

Using a VTR without a split editing function as the player

If it is not possible to set separate audio and video edit points on the VTR you are using as the player, by setting the audio IN and OUT points on the recorder (this unit), then setting three video edit points, split editing is possible.

To display the time value for an edit point

You can display the time value for an edit point in the time data/menu display section (see page 2-7).

The edit point appears in time data display area 2.
