5-4-4 DMC Playback
Overview of DMC playback
DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) playback allows you to vary the playback speed between �1 and +3 times normal speed for certain sections of the tape, then store the specified speed in memory for later playback. For example, during a live broadcast of a sporting event, you can set the start and end points of important scenes while recording, and immediately play back and broadcast those scenes using DMC playback.

5-4-3 Capstan Override Playback
When playing back the same program on two VTRs, you can adjust the playback phases of the two VTRs so that they are synchronized. There are two ways to make this adjustment: (A) Using the search dial (B) Using the +/� buttons
Note

When using method (A), change the system setup so that jog/shuttle mode playback is inhibited even when rotaing the search dial. Doing so prevents the VTR from accidentally entering jog/shuttle mode during capstan override playback. Make this setting through 101. SELECTION FOR SEARCH DIAL ENABLE in the VTR SETUP menu.
