• In jog mode, the playback speed varies from –1 to +1
times normal speed, according to the rotation speed of
the dial. There are no detents.
• In shuttle mode, the playback speed varies in the range
±20 times normal speed, according to the angular
position of the dial. There is a detent at the center
position, for still image playback.
• In variable-speed mode, you can make fine adjustments
to the playback speed over the range from –2 to +2 times
normal speed, according to the angular position of the
dial. There is a detent at the center position, for still
image playback.
Regardless of the playback mode, you will normally press
the SHTL/JOG or VAR/JOG button before turning the
dial. But it is also possible to put the unit into shuttle, jog,
or variable-speed mode simply by turning the dial (by
setting setup menu item 101 SELECTION FOR SEARCH
DIAL ENABLE to "dial").
Note
If you do set the above item to "dial", then you should
return the shuttle/jog dial to the center position after
conducting shuttle or variable-speed playback. If you do
not return the dial to the center position, playback in
shuttle or variable-speed mode can start because of
vibrations during other operations.
