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-to-
deck mode) to control the playback speed of the player,
editing can be performed in the variable speed mode.
