Description Sets the timing with which to record the fields at the edit IN point and OUT point. This menu item can be set by pressing the F1 key and the F key together. F1: Editing starts from the odd-numbered field at the IN point, and it ends when an even-numbered field one frame before the OUT point is recorded. F2: Editing starts from the even-numbered field at the IN point, and it ends when an odd-numbered field at the OUT point is recorded. F1/F2: The fields for the edit IN point and OUT point are determined by the timing at which the edit command is issued. If the edit timing command is issued in an even- numbered field, editing is ended in an odd-numbered field; conversely, if the edit timing command is issued in an odd-numbered field, editing is ended in an even- numbered field. ≥The edit timing can also be set on the AUTO EDIT SET UP menu.

ON: During execution of editing in optimize mode, if an error has occurred up to the IN point, editing is aborted and the stop mode is assumed. OFF: Displays a message and continues editing when an error has occurred. Under normal times, tracking adjustment is not necessary. Adjustment is made if tracking disparities have occurred during editing. VAR: The tracking can be adjusted manually. Refer to “Manually adjusting the tracking” (on page 96). FIX: The tracking is fixed. OPT ONCE: At the initial editing after the cassette has been inserted, the tracking is optimized while the tape is playing back up to the IN point. The tracking is not subsequently optimized. When the PLAY button and STAND BY button are pressed together during EDIT/PLAY, the tracking is optimized again, and it is optimized with each EDIT/PLAY operation. OPT AUTO: The tracking is optimized while the tape is playing back up to the IN point with each editing operation, and it is retained even if the VTR is transferred to another menu. Refer to “Automatically adjusting the tracking.” °This item cannot be displayed when the 1080/23p or 1080/24p format has been selected. (It is forcibly set to F1.)
