Page 55: Dynamic Motion Control (Dmc) Playback
Dynamic Motion Control (DMC) Playback Overview DMC playback allows you to vary the playback speed for a certain section of a tape, in variable mode (from −1 to +1 times normal speed), and store the varying speed in memory for later playback at the same varying speed. For example, during a live broadcast of a sporting event you can set the start and end points of highlights while recording, and then provide immediate DMC playback of those highlights. - Page 56 Playback Storing a varying playback speed in memory To store the playback speed for DMC playback, use the following procedure. MEMORY indicator Display section 3,5,7 Press the DMC EDIT button, turning it on. Either while playing back the recorded tape, or during recording, press the ENTRY/SHIFT button and each of the following buttons simultaneously, to set the start and end points.

Page 86: Preread Editing
Preread Editing Video and audio signals already recorded on the recorder tape can be used as an edit source for insert editing. This type of editing is called “preread editing”, as the VCR uses the preread heads to read the signals in advance from the tape. - Page 87 Notes • You cannot carry out preread editing using SDTI or i.LINK signals. • When the preread mode is selected (the PREREAD button is lit), to prevent feedback in the loop connection, no E-E video/audio out is available, regardless of the operating mode of the unit. When preread mode is turned off after preread editing, however, if the same channel remains connected to both input and output, an E-E signal is output, and feedback will occur.
