5-3 Shot Mark Operations
This section describes the operations concerning
reading and writing shot marks. Note that the
following operations cannot be carried out by remote
control.
5-3-1 Reading Shot Marks
To read in shot marks
With a cassette loaded, hold down the LIST button and
press the F FWD or REW button.
While the shot marks are being read in, the F FWD or
REW button flashes.
The unit searches to the end of the tape, then rewinds
automatically.
For the procedure for displaying a list of shot marks read
in, see page 5-4.
Note
It is only possible to read in a maximum of 200 shot
marks.
When 200 shot marks have been read in, the control
panel display shows the message “S-LIST FULL”, and
the reading stops.
To cancel the message, press one of the tape transport
buttons.
To stop reading
Press the STOP button.
Reading shot marks from more than one
cassette
After changing the cassettes, carry out the reading
operation again.
Data written in the new cassette will be added as long
as the total does not exceed 200 shot marks. For
example, if 190 shot marks have already read in, only
10 shot marks will be read from the new tape.
In the shot mark list (see page 5-4) the data from
different cassettes is separated by a row of dashes.
