Sony DSR-1800A Operating Instructions Manual page 57

OPERATIONAL FUNCTION [Operational]: Operation
settings
JOG RESPONSE [>JOG dial]: Select the tape speed
characteristics for the search dial rotation rate in jog mode.
PREROLL TIME [> Preroll]: Set the preroll time.
AFTER CUE-UP [> After CUE]: Select the operating mode
following cue-up.
PLAY START [> PLAY start]: Set the timing for switching from
stop mode to playback mode.
In an editing system including an editing control unit such as
the PVE-500, you can adjust this setting so that the delay
before switching to playback mode is the same on all the decks
of the editing system. It is then no longer necessary to
synchronize the decks for editing, and the preroll time can be
shortened.
AUTO REW [>Auto REW]: Select whether to rewind the tape
automatically when recording or playback reaches the end
of a tape.
A MODE CHANGE [>Aud change]: Determine whether or not
to permit an insert editing that uses a different audio
recording mode (2- or 4-channel mode) from that which
was used for the tape loaded in the recorder.
Description of settings
*TYPE1 (-1 to +1) [>> type 1]: Tape speed varies linearly
over the range −1 to +1.
TYPE2 (-3 to +3) [>> type 2]: Tape speed varies stepwise as
shown in the figure below over the range −3 to +3.
(Characterized by a zone around −1 and +1 where the
tape speed is independent of the rotation rate)
TYPE3 (-3 to +3) [>> type 3]: Tape speed varies linearly over
the range −3 to +3, as shown in the figure below.

0 SEC [>> 0 sec] to 15 SEC [>> 15 sec]: The preroll time
can be set in one-second increments to between 0 and 15
seconds.
A preroll time of at least 5 seconds is recommended when
using this unit for editing. When an editing control unit such as
the PVE-500 has been connected, this setting is disabled and
the setting on the editing control unit is in effect. Operations
such as the preroll time setting and the time data switching
operation are also performed on the editing control unit.
Factory default setting: 5 SEC [>> 5 sec]
*STOP [>> STOP]: Stop mode
STILL [>> STILL]: Output still pictures in search mode.
16 FRAME DELAY [>> 16 delay] to 4 FRAME DELAY
[>> 4 delay]: The larger the numerical value, the
longer the delay. By adjusting this setting, it is
possible to reduce the phase synchronization time
and preroll time during editing.
Factory default setting: 5 FRAME DELAY [>> 5 delay] (for
DSR-1800A) or 4 FRAME DELAY [>> 4 delay] (for DSR-
1800AP)
DISABLE [>> DISABLE]: Do not rewind the tape
automatically.
*ENABLE [>> ENABLE]: Rewind the tape automatically.
*OFF [>> OFF]: Do not permit.
