∫
Duration display
The duration can be indicated on the display.
Between the video IN and OUT points: 
Press the IN button and OUT button at the same
time.
Between the audio IN and OUT points: 
Press  the  A-IN  button  and  A-OUT  button  at  the
same time.
Match frame processing function
When two VTRs are used to perform the audio split
editing  operations,  there  will  be  a  total  of  8  edit
points: the video IN and OUT points for the player,
the video IN and OUT points for the recorder, the
audio  IN  and  OUT  points  for  the  player,  and  the
audio IN and OUT points for the recorder.  
When five of the eight edit points are registered, the
remaining three points are automatically calculated
so only five of the edit points can be registered.
∫
When a VTR not equipped with the split
editing function is used as the player
When  a  VTR  for  which  the  video  and  audio  edit
points cannot be set independently is used as the
player, split editing is still possible by setting the
audio IN point and OUT point in the recorder and
setting  the  data  of  three  points  as  the  video  edit
points.

If, during audio split editing, the video OUT point (or
audio  OUT  point)  only  is  registered  without  the
audio  OUT  (or  video  OUT  point)  having  been
registered and automatic editing is then executed,
editing will continue until either the audio OUT point
(or  video  OUT  point)  is  registered  or  the  STOP
button is pressed to suspend the editing operation.

Variable memory function
1Register the IN point using the SET button and IN
button.  There is no need to set the OUT point for
variable memory playback.
Variable memory playback operation procedure
The variable memory mode can be selected by setting
(VARMEM)  on  the    menu  to
“ON.”
When  (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,  (VARMEM)
will no longer appear on the display and the variable
memory mode cannot be selected.

) using the
search dial while holding down the SET button.
3When  the  SET  button  and  PREVIEW/REVIEW
button are pressed at the same time, the tape is
automatically  prerolled  and  played  back  at  the
initial speed setting up to the IN point.
4After  the  tape  has  passed  the  IN  point,  turn  the
search  dial  to  store  the  playback  speed  in  the
memory.
5Press the STOP button to stop the tape.
6When the PREVIEW/REVIEW button is pressed,
variable  memory  playback  is  performed  at  the
memorized speed.
Variable memory function selection
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-to-
deck  mode)  to  control  the  playback  speed  of  the
player, editing can be performed in the variable speed
mode.
OutlineTo perform variable memory playback operations, set
the VTR to the variable memory mode, and take the
steps below.

• After passing the IN point, the tape is played back
in accordance with the settings in the memory, and
it continues to run at the last speed stored in the
memory until the STOP button is pressed.
• Whatever is stored in the memory will be cleared
when the VTR exits the variable memory mode.  It
is also cleared when the POWER switch is set to
“OFF.”

5When  the  SET  button  and  PREVIEW/REVIEW
button are pressed at the same time, the tapes in
both  the  player  and  recorder  are  automatically
prerolled, and the player VTR plays back the tape
at the initial speed setting up to the IN point.
6After  the  tape  has  passed  the  IN  point,  turn  the
search  dial  to  store  the  playback  speed  of  the
player VTR in the memory.
7When the tape passes the OUT point that was set
by the recorder, the storing of the playback speed
in the memory ends.
8When the AUTO EDIT button is pressed, variable
memory  editing  is  executed.    Once  editing  has
been  executed,  the  memorized  speeds  will  be
cleared  except  for  the  initial  speed  which  is  not
cleared.
9By  pressing  the  PREVIEW/REVIEW  button,  the
edited results can be checked.
Variable memory editing operation procedure
To perform variable memory editing operations, set
this VTR, which is connected as the recorder to the
variable memory mode, and take the steps below.
Variable memory function

• Whatever is stored in the memory will be cleared
when the VTR exits the variable memory mode.  It
is also cleared when the POWER switch is set to
“OFF.”
• Phase  synchronization  is  not  performed  during
playback up to the IN point of the variable memory
editing.  Therefore, depending on the VTR used as
the player and its speed setting, no guarantees are
made for the accuracy of the IN point.
• When  conducting  variable  memory  editing  in  the
speed range of j
1.0k
to i
2.0k
, use VTRs with
which  these  speeds  are  guaranteed  for  both  the
recorder and player.
