<Notes>
O The image will deteriorate if the same tape is
played back over and over again. Once a tape has
been played back for a hundred or so times,
replace it with a new one.
O The image which is to be output when the tape is
returned to the BEGIN point in the repeat playback
mode can be set using menu item No.163 [REPT
MODE].
When FREEZE is selected as the menu item
No.163 [REPT MODE] setting, the playback image
will not freeze properly if the tape end is set to
serve as the END point. Set the END point in a
section of the tape where images have been
recorded.
O If the counter display mode (TC/CTL) established
using the menu item No.161 [CTL (TC) BGN] or
