following (example)

2
Set [CYCLE] of [REPEAT CYCLE] to [30 min].
3
Press the REW or PLAY button.

starting at 9 a.m.:
1

2
Set [CYCLE] of [REPEAT CYCLE] to [120 min].
3
Set [ON/OFF] of [REPEAT TIMES] to [ON].

Turn the unit on before 9 a.m.
• The unit cannot detect signals for an Index signal, a
signal other than the one set by [AUTO] in [HDV/DV
SEL], or an unrecorded portion within 20 seconds of
the beginning of the playback.
• When you intend to turn the unit off, press the STOP
button on the unit to stop the tape transport operation
beforehand. If you turn the unit off while a tape is
running, for example, by using an AC timer, the unit or
the tape may be damaged.
• The editing software used by a digital non-linear
editing system may mark index signals on a tape itself.
Therefore, if you use a tape on which signals
transmitted from a digital non-linear editing controller
are recorded or a copy tape made from one, using
digital dubbing, CUSTOM REPEAT may not be
performed correctly.
The unit allows you to adjust the edge crop position
when you output down converted HDV 16:9 wide
screen pictures to 4:3 standard TV mode pictures.
By displaying the edge crop marker on the monitor, you
can check the crop position on the LCD monitor
beforehand.

REC] menu to [ON]
