Playback
While holding down the SET (YES)
press the KA or Bk button. The time code value of the current tape
position is set as point A or B, and a message "A set" or "B set" is displayed for
0.5 second in the time counter display.
Once set, the point A or B time code value is held in the non-volatile memory
of the unit until changed. It is not lost when the unit is powered off.
Note
When setting point A or B, you can only use a time code value. Even when
COUNTER is selected with the COUNTER SEL button, you cannot use a CNT
value to set point A or B.
To check the point A or B time code value
Press the KA or Bk button on the menu control panel. While the button is
held down, the point A or B time code value is displayed on the monitor and in
the time counter display.
If you hold down the KA and Bk buttons simultaneously, the value shown
is the point B time code value minus the point A time code value. If the point A
time code value is greater than the point B time code value, a minus sign (−) is
shown before the value.
Using the following procedure, you can modify the time code value for point A
or B.
