This VTR comes already programmed with menus that correspond to specific operating objectives, and the

operations performed on each differ from one menu to another. When a menu is selected using a menu se-

lection button, what appears on the display changes, and the function keys (F1 to F13) also implement the

function corresponding to the respective menu items.

SET UP menus are provided in order for the user to have settings on hand for the seldom used functions, etc.

among the various menu items.

The HOME menu is provided as the VTR’s basic menu. It automatically appears on the display when the

power has been turned on. (However, the IC CARD menu will automatically appear if an IC card has been in-

serted.)

Sync play.

Description

Automatically compensates for the start initiated for the playback

mode. For instance, when the VTR is set to the playback mode

from the preroll point, it synchronizes its own phase to ensure

that the tape arrives at the IN point after the preroll time has

elapsed. (The function takes effect only when the front panel

controls are used for operation.)

speeds. If the tape material image has a scene

cutoff when moving from No. 2 field to No. 1 field,

as when editing with the No. 1 field as cutoff, use

DIRECT:

REGEN:

The external LTC input signal is recorded directly and output.

It is not synchronized with the internal reference signal.

The user bit is slave-locked to the value read out on the tape.

The user bit cannot be set.

EXT REGEN: The user bit is slave-locked to the externally input VITC or LTC.

The user bit cannot be set.

PRESET:

INT UB:

The user bit is not locked to the value read out on the tape or external input.

The user bit can be set.

In this mode, the previous user bit is retained, and neither the REGEN nor PRESET functions

can be implemented.

To set the user bit again, use the F1 (SOURCE), F2 (TC SLAVE) or F3 (UB SLAVE) key to

select one of the three modes above.
