The selected function menu items light.

3

Press the search dial, the SHUTTLE button or VAR
button to enter shuttle or variable speed mode.

Make sure that setup menu item 111 “TSO PLAY” is
set to “DIS”.

4

With F4 (DMC) selected, rotate the search dial to set
the initial speed at the playback start point.

The speed you set appears in the tape information.
During this period the tape does not move.
When the initial speed setting is complete, release the
F4 (DMC).

5

Holding down the SHIFT/ENTRY button, select F2
(PREVIEW).

The tape is prerolled and played back at the normal
speed from the on-air start point to the speed variation
start point.
On passing the speed variation start point, F4 (DMC)
begins to flash, and playback begins at the speed set in
step 4.

6

Rotate the search dial to vary the playback speed.

While the F4 (DMC) is flashing, the speed variations
are stored in memory. On passing the speed variation
end point, the F4 (DMC) changes from flashing to
continuously lit (pink), and the variable speed storing
ends.

7

Press the STOP button to stop the tape.

If the F4 (DMC) is lit before the speed variation
end point
This indicates that the memory became full at that point. It
is therefore not possible to memorize more speed
variations.
The maximum memory capacity is 120 seconds.

To correct the stored speed variation
Holding down the SHIFT/ENTRY button, select F2
(PREVIEW).
The interval between the speed variation start and end
points is automatically played back at the stored speed.
Operate the search dial to adjust the playback speed.

To set the initial speed to normal playback speed
In step 4 above, press the PLAY button.

To carry out 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 preroll

• To avoid operating mistakes we recommend that you use

the VTR in standalone mode when carrying out DMC
playback.

• When using two VTRs connected for editing, you can

only use the recorder VTR for DMC playback, and also
only when neither the RECORDER nor PLAYER button
is lit. (For this unit, this applies when F6 (R/P SEL) in
function menu page P06: EDIT is not set.)
