When the P1 key was pressed

The signal supplied to the R1 port is output in the EE status when the monitor output is an RP port playback signal, or when PB/EE has been specified.

5-5-7 Pre-roll Time

When using this unit as the player during DMC editing, the setting should be at least five seconds.

Also, with DMC editing, the insertion point may be displaced by one frame.

5-5-8 File Backup Function

If the power to the MAV-555SS is accidentally cut while you are editing a file, the "Backupxxxxx" file (where

xxxxxis the date, for example: 05.20-14:00) is automatically created. Therefore, if this happens and the edited file is deleted, you can continue editing using the backup file. However, if the edited file is unloaded before the power is cut, backup is not possible. Further, because the cut point information is not saved along with the backup file, you cannot perform cut jumps or trim cuts in this file.

You can unload files from the MAVE-D555 and BKMA- 505.

For details about unloading files, refer to the MAVE-D555 and BKMA-505 operation manuals.

5-5-9 Editing-Related Error Messages

There are some unique editing function-related errors which may occur in BVE mode that do not exist in other modes. These error messages and their remedies are described below.

[Cut Entry Full]

In BVE mode, cut information for the file being edited is stored internally. Although this information cannot be used in linear editing, it can be used as cut information for nonlinear editing when the MAVE-F555 is connected.

There is a limit on the number of cuts per file. The [Cut Entry Full] error appears when this limit has been reached, and indicates that the file in question cannot be edited any further.

Remedy:

•When the above error is generated, follow the instructions that are provided in the dialog box that appears on the control panel. Doing so will clear the cut information for that file, making further editing on the file possible.

•This error can be avoided by performing certain operations through the MAVE-F555. For details, refer to the “Error Message List” in the appendix in the MAVE-F555 operation manual.

[Edit Entry Full]

The internal area where cut information is stored limits the number of files that can be stored. The [Cut Entry Full] error appears when this limit has been reached, and indicates that no more files can be created for editing.

Because an internal temporary file is created when editing through the RP port, editing is no longer possible once this error has been generated.

Remedy:

•When the above error is generated, follow the instructions that are provided in the dialog box that appears on the control panel. Doing so will clear the internal cut information area, making further file creation and editing possible.

•This error can be avoided by performing certain operations through the MAVE-F555. For details, refer to the “Error Message List” in the appendix in the MAVE-F555 operation manual.

[Rec Inhibit]

This error is generated if an attempt was made to record or edit while the recording port or RP port was in the “Rec Inhibit” state, or an attempt was made to record or edit a file with file protection on.

Remedy:

Cancel “Rec Inhibit” or file protection in order to record or edit.

[Material Entry Full]

The MAV-555SS material management information is full; no files can be created.

Remedy:

Unneeded files are deleted.

[Nearly Rec Stop]

When editing or recording a collection file in BVE mode, a four-minute area is allocated on the HDD; then, as recording continues, when two minutes of this allocated area is used up, enough area for two more minutes is allocated. This operation repeats as recording continues. This error occurs when the area for two additional minutes cannot be allocated because the disk is full. Once this error is generated, recording/editing stops after two minutes.

Remedy:

•Recording/editing can continue further even after this error is generated if you delete any unnecessary files within two minutes of the moment when this error was generated.
