Chapter 5 Recording/Playback
2 Rotate the search dial in the desired playback
direction and set the angle of rotation as required
to achieve the desired playback speed.
The tape is played back at a speed that corresponds
to the angle of the search dial. A direction
indicator (b or B) lights up to indicate the
direction of playback.
The search dial clicks at the positions for still-
picture and normal-speed playback.
3 Set the search dial to center position for still-
picture, or press the STOP button to stop variable
mode playback.
To return to normal-speed playback
Press the PLAY button.
To alternate between normal-speed playback
and variable mode playback
After you have set the search dial to the angle that
corresponds to the desired playback speed, pressing
the PLAY button or VAR button selects normal-speed
playback or variable mode playback, respectively.
To stop or start variable mode playback, press the
STOP button or VAR button, respectively.
The VTR is factory set so that pressing the JOG,
SHUTTLE, or VAR button is required in order to enter
variable-speed playback mode. To change this setting,
use the VTR SETUP menu item 101 “SELECTION
FOR SEARCH DIAL ENABLE”.
5-4-3 Capstan Override Playback
When playing back the same program on two VTRs,
you can adjust the playback phases of the two VTRs so
that they are synchronized.
There are two ways to make this adjustment:
(A) Using the search dial
(B) Using the +/– buttons
Note
When using method (A), change the system setup so
that jog/shuttle mode playback is inhibited even when
the search dial is rotated. Doing so prevents the VTR
from accidentally entering jog/shuttle mode during
capstan override playback. Set the VTR SETUP menu
item 101 “SELECTION FOR SEARCH DIAL
ENABLE” to “via search key”.
1 Use either method (A) or (B).
(A) Rotate the search dial while holding down the
PLAY button to adjust the playback speed.
The adjustment range is ±15% (in steps of
1%) of the normal playback speed.
(B) Press the + or – button while holding down
the PLAY button to adjust the playback
speed.
Every time the + or – button is pressed, the
speed changes by 1 frame.
During playback at increased or decreased speed,
the SERVO indicator goes off since the servo is
not locked (capstan override).
