5-4-3 Capstan Override Playback
When playing back the same program on two VTRs, you
can adjust the playback phases of the two VTRs so that
they are synchronized.
There are two ways to make this adjustment:
(A) Using the search dial
(B) Using the +/– buttons
When using method (A), change the system setup so that
jog/shuttle mode playback is inhibited even when the
search dial is rotated. Doing so prevents the VTR from
accidentally entering jog/shuttle mode during capstan
override playback.
Set the VTR SETUP menu item 101 “SELECTION FOR
SEARCH DIAL ENABLE” to “via search key”.
1
Use either method (A) or (B).
(A) Rotate the search dial while holding down the
PLAY button to adjust the playback speed.
The adjustment range is ±15% (in steps of 1%) of
the normal playback speed.
(B) Press the + or – button while holding down the
PLAY button to adjust the playback speed.
Every time the + or – button is pressed, the speed
changes by 1 frame.
During playback at increased or decreased speed, the
SERVO indicator goes off since the servo is not locked
(capstan override).
2
Release the PLAY button after you have finished
adjusting the phase.
The VTR returns to normal-speed playback and the
SERVO indicator lights up.
5-4-4 DMC Playback
Overview of DMC playback
DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) playback allows you to
vary the playback speed in variable mode (in the DT
playback range from –1 to +2 times normal speed) for
certain sections of the tape, then store the specified speed
in memory for later playback.
For example, during a live broadcast of a sporting event,
you can set the start and end points of important scenes
while recording, and immediately play back and broadcast
those scenes using DMC playback.
Storing playback speeds in memory
Follow the procedure below to store DMC playback
speeds in memory.
1
In the HOME menu, press the ALT/[F7] (DMC)
buttons to light up DMC on the display.
2
Set a start point during recording or on a previously
recorded tape by simultaneously pressing the ENTRY
button and the IN button.
3
Press the STOP button to enter stop mode.
4
Rotate the search dial to select the initial playback
speed.
The selected speeds are shown in the time data display
window in the menu display.
If the VTR SETUP menu item 101 “SELECTION
FOR SEARCH DIAL ENABLE” is set to “dial
direct”, initial speed settings cannot be made. Change
the setting of this menu item to “via search key”.
