Executing DMC Playback
There are two methods of starting DMC playback. � Starting playback at the on-air cue from the on-air start point � Starting playback immediately after preroll � To avoid operating mistakes we recommend that you use the VTR in standalone mode when carrying out DMC playback. � When using two VTRs connected for editing, you can only use the recorder VTR for DMC playback, and only when both the RECORDER and PLAYER buttons are off.
