<Notes>
If the PRE REC MODE items is set to OFF, recording
starts about 0.4 seconds after pressing the REC START
button when the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to either
SAVE or STBY position.
If the PRE REC MODE item is set to ON, video signals
for the time set in the PRE REC TIME item before starting
are recorded.
The data contained in the storage memory becomes
unstable immediately after the power is turned on,
immediately after the PRE REC MODE item setting is
selected or its set time has been changed, and
immediately after playback or rec-review has been
performed. Immediately after any of these operations,
therefore, the video and audio signals will not be pre-
recorded for the duration set when recording is started by
pressing the REC START button or VTR button on the
lens.
The video data and audio data are not stored in the
storage memory while playback or rec-review is being
performed. This means that the pre-recording will not
include the video and audio signals supplied during a
playback or rec-review operation.
When recording has been started, the time code (TCG)
display may remain in the hold status until it is possible for
the time code (TCR) on the tape to be read.
3-4 To record video signals of a few
seconds before starting recording

REC MODE item and the PRE REC TIME item using the
menu operation.
