Playing clips
(1) Press the THUMBNAIL button.
The thumbnail screen is displayed on the LCD.
(2) Use the search dial to move the pointer to the
clip you want to play.
(3) Press the PLAY button.
The clip at the pointer location is played on the LCD.
After the clip at the cursor location has been played,
subsequent clips are played in the order in which they
were recorded. After the last clip has been played, the
thumbnail screen is displayed again.
Notes:
• It is not necessary to select a clip (so that its thumbnail
has a green box around it) in order to play clips.
• If the REW button is pressed while a clip is being
played, the clip is played in reverse. If the FF button is
pressed, the clip is played in fast forward mode.
• If the STOP button is pressed while a clip is being
played, playback is stopped and the thumbnail screen is
displayed again.
• While playback is stopped, the pointer remains on the
thumbnail of the clip which was being played, regardless
of where the pointer was located at the start of playback.
• The images and sound will be disrupted during playback
between clips that have different formats (DVCPRO50,
DVCPRO, DV): This is normal and not indicative of
malfunctioning.
If the THUMBNAIL button is pressed to close the thumbnail
screen, the playback start position will change back to the
clip with the oldest recording time (Clip number 1).
