Preparation for Playback
Adjusting video and audio signal levels *
Video level adjustment
This is automatically adjusted.
Audio level adjustment
Use the AUDIO LEVEL PB controls on the control panel. Two channels can be
adjusted independently. Adjust the controls so that the readings of the AUDIO meters
are nearly zero at the highest possible audio level.
Monitoring video and audio signals
Time counter display
This procedure is the same as that for recording. See "Monitoring video and audio
signals" on page 26.
A lap time, which is determined by counting the number of the pulses derived from
the recorded CTL signal with the CTL/TC/DIAL MENU
selector on the control panel
set to CTL, is displayed.
Press the RESET button to reset the display to 0:00:00:00. The lap time from the reset
point to the beginning of the tape is displayed with a minus sign.
When the RECORDER
lamp (or the PLAYER lamp) lights, the current position of the
tape on the recorder (or on the player) can also be displayed.
e Because the figures displayed depend on the number of the CTL pulses counted,
there may be errors in the displayed figures when a tape is played back with
missing CTL pulses.
e There may also be errors in the displayed figures when fast forward and rewind
operations are repeated because CTL signal read errors are likely to occur in those
modes.
e The displayed figures will not change when playing back a blank cassette tape
because it does not have the CTL signal recorded on it.
*These adjustments can be made after playback has
started.
