Recording/Playback 5 Chapter

Note

If the 101.SELECTION FOR SEARCH DIAL ENABLE setting in the VTR SETUP menu is set to dial direct, initial speed settings cannot be made. Change the 101.SELECTION FOR SEARCH DIAL ENABLE setting to via search key.

5 Press the PREROLL button and PREVIEW button simultaneously.

The tape is prerolled and played back at the initial speed from the preroll point to the speed variation start point. The moment the tape passes the speed variation start point, the MEMORY indicator in the display starts flashing.

(The pindicator appears in the time data display window, indicating that tape speed memorization in DMC mode is active.)

6 Rotate the search dial to the position for the desired playback speed.

The speed variation is stored in memory while the MEMORY indicator is flashing.

7 Press the STOP button to stop the tape.

If the MEMORY indicator frashes before the tape reaches the speed variation end point Memory has been exceeded and the VTR cannot store any more data for playback speed variations.

Notes on the p indicator and the MEMORY indicator

The pindicator shows that the tape speed memorization in DMC mode is taking place.

The MEMORY indicator flashes during playback speed memorization, then stays lit continuously when memorization of the playback speed has been completed.

Performing 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 prerolling

Note

To avoid operation errors, we recommend that you use the VTR alone when performing DMC playback.
