Scene-to-scene continuity
Maintaining continuity from one scene to the next at an
accuracy of +1 frame or less can be assured simply by
pressing the REC START button or VTR button on the lens
while the unit is in the rec-pause mode.
If the unit is in a mode other than rec-pause, the point at
which the scene-to-scene continuity is to be maintained must
be located before recording is started.
Scene-to-scene continuity during rec-pause
The scene-to-scene continuity timing is located
automatically.
≥ When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to “SAVE”, the
tape loading operation will complete about 2 seconds after
pressing the REC START button.
≥ When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to “STBY”, the
tape loading operation has completed.
≥ When recording with the switch set to STBY position, the
tape travel mechanism will stop 2 seconds after pressing
the REC START button.
When pre-recording is set to 7 seconds, it takes 7 seconds
or more to stop the tape travel mechanism after pressing
the REC START button.

Jump function
To jump to the starting point of the unrecorded section of a
tape, open the <SW MODE> screen from the OPERATION
page, and set the RET SW item to R. REVIEW.
When the recorded tape is replayed to the starting point of
the unrecorded section, the recording head is at Position B.
If the RET button of the lens or the USER button that is
allocated the RET SW function is pressed once in this state,
the tape will rewind for 5 seconds.
If the recorded section cannot be found, press this button
again.
If the recorded section is recognized during the rewind
operation, such as Position C, the tape will be rewound for
an additional 2 seconds from the termination point A of the
recording and then played back for 2 seconds; the tape then
pauses the recording at the termination point A.
Press the REC START button or the VTR button of the lens
to continue recording from the termination point A.
(In this case, the time code is regenerated as a value for
position A on the tape if the TCG switch is set to the R-RUN
position.)
When the tape is rewound to the recorded section, the
recording head is at Position D. If the RET button of the lens
or the USER button that is allocated the RET SW function is
pressed once in the STOP mode, the tape rewind for 2
seconds, and then replay for 2 seconds before entering into
the pause state for recording at position D.
During the pause in playback, the tape pauses the recording
at position D without rewinding or playing back the tape. (In
this case, the time code will be regenerated as a value for
position D on the tape if the TCG switch is set to the R-RUN
position.)
O During the jump operation, the REW lamp flashes and the
JUMP indication in the viewfinder screen flashes.
<Notes>
O When the cassette tab is in the “SAVE” position, the jump
operation is disabled.
O By executing the jump operation while the TCG switch is
set to the R-RUN position, time codes will always be
regenerated to the value on the tape.
Even if the TCG switch is set to the SET position or the F-
RUN position, the time code will be rewritten to the value
on the tape when the jump operation is executed after
returning the switch to the R-RUN position. When
recording starts, the unit regenerates the time code to the
value on the tape. Even if the FIRST REC TC item of the
menu (TC/UB screen of the VTR MENU page) is set to
PRESET, the time code will always be regenerated to the
value on the tape by executing the jump operation after
setting the TCG switch to the R-RUN position.
