Playback 4 Chapter

4-2Playback Operation

Disc playback start position

Although this unit uses optical discs, it is designed to offer the most convenient features of tape playback by VTRs. One of these is the playback start position, which works in the same way as tape, as described below.

After playback stop

The unit stops at the position where the STOP button was pressed.

Press the PLAY button to resume playback at the stop position.

After disc insertion

The unit stops at the position of the disc when it was most recently ejected.

Press the PLAY button to resume playback at the most recent position.

The playback position is saved to the disc when the disc is ejected, which allows playback to start at that position whenever it is loaded into any XDCAM player.

Note

This function is not available when the write-protect tab of the disc is set to the recording disabled position.

This section describes the following types of playback:

•Normal playback

Playback at normal (±1) speed

•Playback in jog mode

Variable speed playback, with the speed determined by the speed of turning the jog dial

•Playback in shuttle mode

Variable speed playback, with the speed determined by the angular position of the shuttle dial

Normal playback

First insert a disc.

For details of how to insert a disc, see 3-6-4 “Loading and Unloading a Disc” on page 37.
