Previewing; Modifying Edit Points - Sony SRW-5800 Operation Manual

The tape is rewound to a point before the edit start
point by the amount determined by the preroll time
setting.
Note
When the [F1] (TIMER SEL) button in the TC menu is set
to CTL mode, cuing up is slightly slower than in TC mode.
This is to maintain the accuracy of the CTL signals.
You can set up the VTR so that priority is placed on cuing
accuracy or speed. Change the setting of the VTR SETUP
menu item 403 "CUEUP BY TC" and menu item 404
"CUEUP BY CTL".
Changing the preroll time
The preroll time is factory set to 5 seconds, but can be set
to any time between 0 and 30 seconds, in 1-second steps.
For details, see "4-2-5 Setting the Preroll Time
(PREROLL TIME)" on page 63.
When changing the preroll time, set it so that the recorded
section prior to the edit start point is longer than the preroll
time.
The preroll time used in automatic editing is the preroll
time set for the recorder.
