The tape is prerolled and played back at the initial
speed from the preroll point to the speed variation
start point. The moment the tape passes the speed
variation start point, the MEMORY indicator in the

(The p indicator appears in the time data display

desired playback speed.
The speed variation is stored in memory while the
MEMORY indicator is flashing.

If the MEMORY indicator frashes before the
tape reaches the speed variation end point

any more data for playback speed variations.
Notes on the p indicator and the MEMORY
indicator
The p indicator shows that the tape speed
memorization in DMC mode is taking place.
The MEMORY indicator flashes during playback
speed memorization, then stays lit continuously when
memorization of the playback speed has been
completed.
Performing DMC playback
There are two methods of starting DMC playback.
• Starting playback at the on-air cue from the on-air
start point
• Starting playback immediately after prerolling
Note
To avoid operation errors, we recommend that you use
the VTR alone when performing DMC playback.
