1 END SEARCH button
When you press this button, the unit searches the tape
and plays back the last five-second recorded picture.
After playback, the unit turns to the stop mode. Use
this function to record another image at the end of the
last recorded portion or to check the image itself.
Note
If you use a cassette without cassette memory, the end
search function does not work once you eject the
cassette after you have recorded on the tape. If you use
a cassette with cassette memory, the end search
function works even if you have ejected the cassette
one or more times. If there is a blank portion at the
beginning or between recorded portions, the end
search function may not work correctly.
2 INDEX button
Press this button during recording to mark an index. If
you mark an index at the scene you want to search for,
you can easily find the scene later.
For details on index, see "Recording Functions" on page 40
(GB).
3 q (cassette) indicator
Lights when a digital video cassette is loaded. Even if
the unit is in the standby mode, the indicator lights as
long as a cassette is inside of the unit. While a cassette
is being ejected, the indicator flashes.
4 DVCAM indicator
Lights when the unit is playing back a tape recorded in
the DVCAM format. When REC MODE on the VTR
SET menu is set to DVCAM, this indicator also lights
during recording or when the unit is in the EE mode.
For details on the VTR SET menu, see "VTR SET menu" on
page 65 (GB).
