Notes
2 JOG dial
• Normally, you turn the SHUTTLE dial after setting
the jog/shuttle mode by pressing the JOG/SHUTTLE
button. However, you can also set the jog/shuttle
mode simply by turning the dial. (This feature is
available when SELECTION FOR JOG/SHUTTLE
DIAL ENABLE, extended menu item 101 of the
setup menu, is set to DIAL.) In this case, you must
reset the SHUTTLE dial to the center position after
turning it, otherwise the dial may be moved by
vibration and the tape may start running in the shuttle
mode during playback.
• If the unit carries out reverse playback in the shuttle
mode at –0.5 times or less normal speed for 20
consecutive minutes, the reel motor heat protection
circuit automatically functions and the unit enters still
mode.
Playback modes using the JOG/SHUTTLE dial
Press the JOG/SHUTTLE button once to
light "JOG," then turn the JOG dial, or
simply turn the JOG dial without lighting
"JOG." Playback is carried out at a speed
corresponding to the rotating speed of
the JOG dial. The playback speed range
is from –1 to +1 times normal speed.
The JOG dial has no detents.
Press the JOG/SHUTTLE button twice to
light "SHTL," then turn the SHUTTLE
dial, or simply turn the SHUTTLE dial
without lighting "SHTL." Playback is
carried out at a speed corresponding to
the angular position of the SHUTTLE
dial. The playback speed range is from
–21 to +21 times normal speed.
The SHUTTLE dial has detents at the
center position, and at that point a still
picture is displayed.
