Automatic Tracking System
This recorder has a permanent auto tracking function which means that the head
tracking will be kept on the track during playback continuously. This is accom-
plished by monitoring the RF envelope signal and automatic adjustment of the
head track position.
Alternatively it is possible to perform a manual tracking adjustment.Both adjust-
ment facilities can be selected in the ”ADJUST” menu.
Automatic Playback Equalizer Adjustment
For optimal playback of a tape that was recorded on another machine, it might be
necessary to equalize the frequency response in the playback signal path.
This results in a digital data stream which exhibits minimum error rates and conse-
quently gives concealment-free (error concealment) video and audio signals. The
adjustment is effected in the ”ADJUST” or in the ”HOME” menu.
The use of four field stores allows broadcastable slow motion picture playback at
a speed of - 0.25 to +0.25 times of normal speed, around zero.
Visible search is possible even at 15 times the normal speed, in both directions.
Moreover, a high-quality still picture reproduction generated from the field store is
provided.
The jogging mode serves to locate a certain picture in slow motion.The tape speed
( -0.25 to + 0.25 from regular speed) is proportional to the ”multi function dial”
speed.

Fast rotation fast speed

In addition to the twelve (ten) digital audio channels the DCR 6024 has one analog
longitudinal audio channel for recording cue signals. The cue channel can be used
to record a signal from an internal or an external (optional) audio signal
source.When recording is made using both the digital audio channels and the ana-
log cue channel, the cue channel signal can be used as a reference for editing the
digital audio signals.Moreover, the audio cue track enables audio playback during
rewinding and at slow motion speeds.The audio cue track is adjusted in the ”CUE
TRACK” menu.
