To preroll the tape
Press the PREROLL button.
The tape is rewound to a point before the edit start
point by the amount determined by the preroll time
setting.
Note
When the [F1] (TIMER SEL) button in the TC menu is
set to CTL mode, cuing up is slightly slower than in
TC mode. This is to maintain the accuracy of the CTL
signals.
You can set up the VTR so that priority is placed on
cuing accuracy or speed. Change the setting of the
VTR SETUP menu item 403 "CUEUP BY TC" and
menu item 404 "CUEUP BY CTL".
Changing the preroll time
The preroll time is factory set to 5 seconds, but can be
set to any time between 0 and 30 seconds, in 1-second
steps.
For details, see "4-2-6 Setting the Preroll Time (PREROLL
TIME)" on page 4-18.
When changing the preroll time, set it so that the
recorded section prior to the edit start point is longer
than the preroll time.
The preroll time used in automatic editing is the preroll
time set for the recorder.
