Since color framing lock is inhibited,
there is no phase shift (H-shift) of the
video output signals during playback.

signals recorded on the tape are
nondecoded component signals and

controller to perform color frame
control.

The decoded information recorded on
the tape is used to automatically
compensate for the difference between
the decoding and encoding subcarrier
phases, so as to produce the best video
frequency characteristics. The output
video signal may shift a maximum of
140 ns.
Set the switch to this postion if you
wish to allow H-shift and also to
obtain both high picture quality and
quick editing.
Capstan servo locks in units of 4 fields

The phase shift of the video output
signals rernains constant, even in the
case of repeated starts and stops during
playback.

continuity of the video signal phases at
edit points is required, or when you
perform A/B roll editing.
If video signal phase continuity at edit points is
not obtained with the switch set to the 4FD -
position, it is necessary to adjust the color
subcarrier phase and sync phase using the SC
