After playback stop
The unit stops at the position where the STOP button was
pressed.
Press the PLAY button to resume playback at the stop
position.
After recording

4-2 Playback
To play back a clip, press the PREV button to move to the
start frame of any clip, or press the PREV button with the
PLAY button held down to move to any position.
After disc insertion
The unit stops at the position of the disc when it was most
recently ejected.
Press the PLAY button to resume playback at the most
recent position.
The playback position is saved to the disc when the disc is
ejected, which allows playback to start at that position
whenever it is loaded into any XDCAM player.
Note
This function is not available when the Write Inhibit tab of
the disc is set to the recording disabled position, and when
extended menu item 310 "REC INHIBIT" is set to "on."
The REC INH indicator may light when neither of the
above are true if the format of recorded sections on the disc
is not the same as the recording settings of this unit. In this
case, the playback position can be saved to the disc.
For details of the settings of the buttons/switches, see the
pages indicated in parenthesis.
