Variable memory function
By operating the VTR search dial which is connected to the unit’s RS-422A REMOTE OUT or REMOTE
IN/OUT connector, the playback speeds and directions can be stored in the memory, after which the stored
contents can be regenerated during automatic editing and stored in the memory of the unit (recorder).
1. Set the F3 (W/PLYR) key to ON.
∫ To operate the VTR connected to the REMOTE OUT connector by remote control, set
F5 (PLYR SEL) on the ASSEMBLE/INSERT AUTO EDIT menu to PLAY-1.
∫ To operate the VTR connected to the REMOTE IN/OUT connector by remote control,
set F5 (PLYR SEL) on the ASSEMBLE/INSERT AUTO EDIT menu to PLAY-2.
2. Set the F4 (VAR MEMO) key to ON.
3. Enter the recorder’s VIDEO IN and OUT points together with the player’s IN point.
4. Select PLAYER using the F6 (R/P SEL) key, and set the initial speed using the search dial.
The initial speed is displayed on the search indicator.
5. Press the PREVIEW button.
The tape runs as far as the preroll point where playback starts at the initial speed.
6. When the edit IN point is passed, the EXECUTE button’s lamp starts to blink.
7. Set the F6 (R/P SEL) key to PLAYER, and store the speed up to the recorder’s OUT point
in the memory using the search dial.
The speed can be stored in the memory while the EXECUTE button’s lamp is blinking until
the recorder’s OUT point is reached.
When the memory becomes full, the EXECUTE button’s lamp lights, and no further set-
tings can be stored in the memory.
8. To preview the memory contents, press the PREVIEW button, and the memory contents
will be regenerated. Phase synchronization is not performed. Adjust the edit timing using
the F9 (DLY STRT) key on the ASSEMBLE/INSERT AUTO EDIT SET UP menu.
9. To make changes to the contents stored in the memory while preview is underway, operate
the search dial. The EXECUTE button’s lamp now blinks, and the contents are stored in
the memory.
10. To make changes to the initial speed which was stored in the memory, press the STOP
button.
Set the F6 (R/P SEL) key to PLAYER, and then use the search dial to set the initial speed
while holding down the STOP button. Since the memory contents will be cleared when the
initial speed is changed, repeat the procedure from step 5.
11. To proceed with variable memory automatic editing, press the REC/EDIT button. The tape
in the player is played back in accordance with the memory contents, and the contents are
stored in the memory of the unit (recorder).
12. When the PREVIEW/REVIEW button is pressed upon completion of the editing, the editing
will be reviewed.
≥The contents stored in the memory are cleared by setting the F10 (VAR MEMO) key from
