The time code field shows the current position of the tape.
The tape can be cued to a defined timecode by entering a value
directly in this field and pressing [enter].

REROLL FIELD
The Preroll value defines how far the tape will rewind ahead of
the Mark IN point before it starts to play. This allows the VTR to
spin up and be at operating speed by the time the Mark IN is
reached. This preroll value may have to be adjusted in
consideration of the type of VTR being used.
The Preroll for the VTR value can be changed manually by
entering numbers in this field.
