4-1 Registering and Storing Menu Settings

The operating conditions of the VTR are set using the
menu operation section on the lower control panel.
Menu items are divided among six different menus
(HOME, TC, CUE, PF1, PF2, SET UP).
Of these menus, the PF1/PF2 (Personal Function)
menus can be used to register frequently used menu
items from the other menus, allowing faster setting of
VTR operating conditions. Eight VTR memory banks
are provided for storing up to eight sets of menu
settings. The contents of the eight VTR memory
banks can, in turn, be stored on a memory card for
later recall.
