Setting the BEGIN and END points
(1) Press the MENU button.

left or right.
By operating the joystick, the user can choose whether
or not to set the BEGIN and END points.

not set. If repeat playback is initiated in this state, the
tape start will serve as the BEGIN point, and the tape
end will serve as the END point.

displayed. The changed digits flash on the
display.
(4) Select TC or CTL using the COUNTER button.
(5) Incline the joystick to the left or right, and
select the digits to change (flashing).
The frame digits cannot be selected. “00” is
always displayed for these digits.
When the joystick is now inclined upward or
downward, the value of the digits changes.
The counter display is reset to 00:00:00:00 when the
RESET button is pressed.
(6) After the settings have been completed,
press the joystick.

A confirmation screen now appears. The

Setting the repeat playback mode
(1) Press the MENU button.

and select the repeat playback mode.
(3) Press the MENU button.
A confirmation screen now appears. The
settings are stored in the memory if the PLAY
button is now pressed.
Notes:
• The picture quality deteriorates when repeat playback
is initiated for the same tape over and over again. As
a general rule of thumb, replace the tape with a new
one after playing back the tape for about 100 times.
• The output images to be displayed while the tape is
being rewound to the BEGIN point in the repeat
playback mode can be set using menu item No.163
(REPT MODE).
If FREEZE is selected as the REPT MODE setting
and the tape end has been set as the END point, the
playback image will not be frozen properly. Set the
END point at a place on the tape where images have
been recorded.
• If the counter display mode (TC or CTL), which was
established when menu item No.161 (CTL(TC)BGN)
and No.162 (END) were set, is different from the
counter display mode (TC or CTL) in which repeat
playback is to be initiated, the repeat lamp flashes,
and the repeat playback operation cannot be
performed.
