entered.
3. Input the unit’s edit IN point.

The initial speed is displayed on the search indicator.
5. Press the PREROLL and EXECUTE buttons together to start the operation.

7. Turn the search dial and store the tape speed in the memory.
≥ The speed can be stored in the memory while the EXECUTE button’s lamp is blinking.

tinues to travel at the speed last stored in the memory until the STOP button is pressed.
∫ The contents stored in the memory are cleared by setting the F4 (VAR MEMO) key from
OFF to ON. Alternatively, they are cleared by setting the power switch to OFF.
