Nonlinear editing and the setting of the
EDITING MODE button
Nonlinear editing is carried out when PROGRAM is
specified as the recorder. In this case there is no
physical rearrangement of the video and audio
material. Rather, a list is made of the data to be
recalled from the hard disk, since data can be recalled
from the hard disk with instant access in any order.
For the purposes of editing operations, however, it is
not necessary to be aware of this difference in the way
the created program is stored.
For nonlinear insert editing, the effect of editing
operations depends on the setting of the EDITING
MODE button as follows. Make the appropriate
setting for the type of editing you wish to carry out.

Necessary conditions for selecting the INS
mode
It is only possible to select the INS mode with the
EDITING MODE button when all the following
conditions hold:
• PROGRAM is selected as the recorder.
• ASSEMBLE/ALL is selected as the editing mode.
• The recorder IN point has been set and the OUT point
has not been set.
• The unit is not in SELF mode (in SELF mode, the
PLAYER and RECORDER buttons are not lit).
If these conditions do not all hold, the setting of the
EDITING MODE button is ignored, and nonlinear
editing is always carried out in OVL mode.
