 Step 11 Special Functions

The following special buttons are used for advanced functions.  When two
buttons are listed, press and hold the first one as you press the second
one.  For instance, "EDIT and Thumbs-Up" means to press EDIT and hold it
as you tap the Thumbs-Up button, then release both buttons.

While EDITing or PREVIEWing a tape with a camcorder that has edit control:

STOP:  Stops EDIT or PREVIEW.  Stops camcorder and VCR.

PLAY:  Stops EDIT or PREVIEW.  Leaves camcorder playing, stops VCR.

PAUSE: Pauses camcorder, leaves VCR as it was.

FAST FORWARD: Skips the current scene, goes on to the next.

REWIND: Rewinds to the first scene on the camcorder tape.

EDIT or PREVIEW while camcorder is rewinding: Rewinds tape, then starts
EDIT or PREVIEW.

While EDITing or PREVIEWing a tape:

PREVIEW makes the video go black as long as the button is held down.  This
is useful for removing a section that's too brief to EDIT out.  Note that
this may not work near the beginning or end of a segment, and note that
audio is not affected.

Special recording modes:

Place VCR in record-pause first, then press indicated buttons.  Use Thumbs-
Down button to end.

    ON-SCREEN-DISPLAY and Thumbs-Up button: Make timecoded copy
    (see Step 10 on Faxback Doc. # 34343).

    PREVIEW and Thumbs-Up button: Record black video.

    EDIT and Thumbs-Up button: Record immediately. (Same as Instant Editing
    but this works with edit control cable attached.)

The following require a camcorder with edit control:

ON-SCREEN-DISPLAY and REWIND: Rewind camcorder and zero its tape counter.
(This does nothing if timecode is present.)

ON-SCREEN-DISPLAY and PLAY:  Play all marked segments, then repeat over
and over.

In Setup Menu:

"T" and ENHANCE " - ".  Shift on-screen display items to the left.

"T" and ENHANCE " + ".  Shift on-screen display items to the right.

"T" and STOP: Start a test dub.

"T" and Thumbs-Up -or- "T" and Thumbs-Down, held for three seconds: Erase
all memory, and reset Setup Menu to factory settings.  (Try each, until
display is stable and properly positioned on screen.)

"T" and other.  You may need to wait to recover from other button presses.

Other:

ON-SCREEN-DISPLAY and Thumbs-Down button: Disable use of SMPTE VITC
timecode. (See Step 10.2 on Faxback Doc. # 34343).
