Variable memory function Variable memory function selection Variable memory playback operation procedure The variable memory mode can be selected by setting F6 (VARMEM) on the menu to "ON." When F6 (VARMEM) is set to "OFF," the variable memory mode is canceled, and the regular mode is established. Bear in mind that when the 23/24 Hz or 25 Hz (HD or SD) mode has been selected as the system menu item No.25 (SYSTEM FREQ) setting, F6 (VARMEM) will no longer appear on the display and the variable memory mode cannot be selected. Outline This VTR is provided with two variable memory functions, as follows. These functions can be used in the variable memory mode. Variable memory playback: Any section of the tape can be played back at variable speeds in the VAR mode, the changes in the speed can be stored in the memory, and the tape can be played back at the memorized speed. Variable memory editing: Using the VTR as a controller (recorder in the deck-todeck mode) to control the playback speed of the player, editing can be performed in the variable speed mode. 2 POWER OFF ON HEADPHONES CH1 2 CH CONDITION 3 4 5 6 7 8 CUE MONITOR FULL/FINE 9P L R REMOTE 50P RS-232C XL/L/M-cassette Do not insert S-cassette without adapter HOME ADJUST RF1 RF2 ASSEM PUSH-INTER VIDEO UNITY TC AUDIO UNITY DIAG CUE INSERT MENU STAND BY PLAYER RECORDER INPUT CHECK AUDIO CH SELECT CH 1 CH 5 CH 2 CH 6 CH 3 CH 7 CH 4 CH 8 FULL REC P8 PUSH LOCK REC P8 REC P8 REC P8 SHIFT F1 F2 ABC DEF GHI 789 JKL MNO PQRS 4 5 6 BS TUV WXYZ 1 2 3 ENT 0CT F F3 F4 F5 F6 A IN PREVIEW/ PRE- REVIEW ROLL A OUT AUTO EDIT TRIM SET IN OUT EDIT REW SERVO PLAY REC INHIBIT REC STOP FF EJECT SHTL JOG VAR REV FWD FULL 1 6 5 4 3 To perform variable memory playback operations, set the VTR to the variable memory mode, and take the steps below. 1 Register the IN point using the SET button and IN button.
