Note

Make sure that setup menu item 111 “TSO PLAY” is set to “DIS”.

4 With F4 (DMC) selected, rotate the search dial to set the initial speed at the playback start point.

The speed you set appears in the tape information. During this period the tape does not move.

When the initial speed setting is complete, release the F4 (DMC).

5 Holding down the SHIFT/ENTRY button, select F2 (PREVIEW).

The tape is prerolled and played back at the normal speed from the on-air start point to the speed variation start point.

On passing the speed variation start point, F4 (DMC) begins to flash, and playback begins at the speed set in step 4.

6 Rotate the search dial to vary the playback speed.

While the F4 (DMC) is flashing, the speed variations are stored in memory. On passing the speed variation end point, the F4 (DMC) changes from flashing to continuously lit (pink), and the variable speed storing ends.

7 Press the STOP button to stop the tape.

If the F4 (DMC) is lit before the speed variation end point

This indicates that the memory became full at that point. It is therefore not possible to memorize more speed variations.

The maximum memory capacity is 120 seconds.

To correct the stored speed variation Holding down the SHIFT/ENTRY button, select F2 (PREVIEW).

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

To carry out 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 preroll

Notes

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

•When using two VTRs connected for editing, you can only use the recorder VTR for DMC playback, and also only when neither the RECORDER nor PLAYER button is lit. (For this unit, this applies when F6 (R/P SEL) in function menu page P06: EDIT is not set.)
