5-4-3 Capstan Override Playback
When playing back the same program on two VTRs,
you can adjust the playback phases of the two VTRs so
that they are synchronized.
There are two ways to make this adjustment:
(A) Using the search dial
(B) Using the +/– buttons
Note
When using method (A), change the system setup so
that jog/shuttle mode playback is inhibited even when
rotaing the search dial. Doing so prevents the VTR
from accidentally entering jog/shuttle mode during
capstan override playback. Make this setting through
101. SELECTION FOR SEARCH DIAL ENABLE in
the VTR SETUP menu.

5-4-4 DMC Playback
Overview of DMC playback
DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) playback allows you
to vary the playback speed between –1 and +3 times
normal speed for certain sections of the tape, then store
the specified speed in memory for later playback.
For example, during a live broadcast of a sporting
event, you can set the start and end points of important
scenes while recording, and immediately play back
and broadcast those scenes using DMC playback.
Before performing DMC playback
Set 111. PROGRAM PLAY in the VTR SETUP menu
to disable.
