5-4-2 Variable Speed Playback in
Jog/Shuttle/Variable Modes
In Jog/Shuttle/Variable modes, you can change the
playback speed as follows:
Jog mode: The playback speed corresponds to the
rotational speed of the search dial, ranging from
–1 to +1 or –3 to +3 times normal playback speed
(selectable in VTR SETUP menu).
Shuttle mode: The playback speed corresponds to
the angle of rotation of the search dial, ranging
from –50 to +50 times normal speed when
playing back a Digital Betacam tape, and –35 to
+35 (DVW-A500/1 and 500/1 only) or –42 to +42
(DVW-A500P/1 and 500P/1 only) times normal
speed when playing back an analog Betacam tape.
Variable mode: Playback speed is –1 times normal
speed when the search dial is rotated fully
counterclockwise, and +3 times normal speed
when rotated clockwise.
