When the audio IN point is not set for insert
editing of audio only
As long as the audio OUT point is set, the VTR is
ready for preview or editing. If the audio IN point has
not been set, the current tape position is automatically
used as the audio IN point.
Using a VTR without a split editing function as
the player
If it is not possible to set separate audio and video edit
points on the VTR you are using as the player, by
setting the audio IN and OUT points on the recorder
(this unit), then setting three video edit points, split
editing is possible.
To display the time value for an edit point
You can display the time value for an edit point in the
control panel display section (see page 2-9).
The IN point appears in time data display area 1, and
the OUT point in time data display area 2.

To display the duration of an edit
You can display the duration between two edit points
in the following three cases, in the control panel
display section (see page 2-9).
• When both the IN point and OUT point are set: the
duration of the segment between the two points
• When only one of the IN point and OUT point is set:
the duration of the segment between the point which
is set and the current tape position
• When neither of the IN point and OUT point is set:
the duration of the previous editing segment
The duration is displayed across time data display
areas 1 and 2, thus: "DURATION 00:01:10:00".
