The HOME menu is displayed.
This VTR comes already programmed with menus that correspond to specific operating objectives, and the
operations performed on each differ from one menu to another. When a menu is selected using a menu selection button, what appears on the display changes, and the function keys (F1 to F13) also implement the
function corresponding to the respective menu items.
SET UP menus are provided in order for the user to have settings on hand for the seldom used functions, etc.
among the various menu items.
The HOME menu is provided as the VTR’s basic menu. It automatically appears on the display when the
power has been turned on. (However, the IC CARD menu will automatically appear if an IC card has been inserted.)
ONoteN
The animation display of a cassette tape appears after the cassette tape has been inserted.

Description
Automatically compensates for the start initiated for the playback
mode. For instance, when the VTR is set to the playback mode
from the preroll point, it synchronizes its own phase to ensure
that the tape arrives at the IN point after the preroll time has
elapsed. (The function takes effect only when the front panel
controls are used for operation.)
ON: Sync play function operates.
OFF: Normal playback is assumed.
FIELD: Plays the tape field by field.
FRAME1/
FRAME2°1: Plays back on a frame by frame basis at the j1a to
i1a speed and on a field by field basis at all other
speeds. If the tape material image has a scene
cutoff when moving from No. 2 field to No. 1 field,
as when editing with the No. 1 field as cutoff, use
FRAME 1.
Use Frame 2 when the No. 2 field is the scene
cutoff.
Selects the variable step for program play.
FINE
: 0.1% step
COARSE: 1.0% step
Normal playback occurs at variable speed within the range of
n5% with the variable step of the F3 key. (Initial settting is
0.0%.)
Refer to “Programmed play function”.
Selects the capstan servo lock mode during playback.
4F AUTO (8F AUTO: 1080/23p, 1080/24p, 1080/50i, 576/50i):
Assumes color frame auto lock mode. If there is any discontinuity
in the color frame during playback, the unit locks again at a new
color frame.
4F FORCE (8F FORCE: 1080/23p, 1080/24p, 1080/50i, 576/50i):
Assumes color frame forced lock mode. If there is any
discontinuity in the color frame during playback, the unit
preserves the field sequence at initial lock.
2F: Assumes frame lock mode.
≥The capstan servo lock mode can be set in AUTO (or
MANUAL) EDIT SET UP menu. If the two settings differ, priority
is given to the final mode setting.
HD.STOP: Stops the drum when the tape is loose.
HLF LOAD: Half-loads the tape.
Returns the VTR to the HOME menu screen.

ONoteN
In the 1080/59i format, the factory setting for this item is 2F. In the 1080/23p format, it is 8F AUTO. The fact that the
factory setting differs depending on the format should be borne in mind when one format is converted into another.
