4. OPERATION

The normal work flow is to setup the vtr according to the instsruction
under Installation: DSR-DR1000 setup. Be sure to clear all files from the
vtr so there is no confusion as to which file (Timecode) the unit will be
using to search. Then the unit would be placed into RECORD (Press
[SHIFT] + [RECORD]). Once the recorder is in RECORD MODE it will
continue to record until the event is over. The recording should not be
stopped, since the timecode will be broken and the unit will not be able
to search properly. The next step is to press [EE] to load the clip on to
the player. At this point, cue points can be created by pressing [IN] and
[OUT]. Any of these cue points can be added to a HIGHLIGHT REEL
(PLAYLIST) by pressing [ADD/INSERT]. The cue poionts can be loaded
by pressing [GOTO] and played out by pressing [PLAY]. The speed can
be changed and played in SLOMO by moving the T-BAR. There are many
settings in the MENU that should be set according to the operator's
preferences.
