Editing the preroll and postroll
times
As shipped from the factory, the DA-98HR will posi-
tion the tape 5 seconds before the punch-in point,
whether this has been set by you, or set automatically
(as described above).
The post-roll is factory set to 3 seconds. You can alter
both these times using the following method:
1 Enter menu group 1, move the cursor to the
Pre/Post
menu option, and press
:
ENTER

2 Use the Ó and Á keys to position the cursor
by the "field" (minutes or seconds) that you
want to change and use the § and ¶ keys to
alter the value.
You can also use the function keys to enter the
value directly, as described in 4.4, "Using the
function keys as number keys".
Since there is little point in setting pre- and postroll
times to frame accuracy, you can only set these val-
ues to second accuracy.
The minimum value you can set for preroll is 5
seconds and the maximum value is 59 minutes
59 seconds.
