=PLAYER and RECORDER buttons

SD955

These buttons are operated if the VTR is to be used as a recorder to conduct editing operations with a VTR equipped with an RS-422A serial interface remote control connector (9 pins). Neither button works when the VTR is used on its own.

PLAYER:

When this button is pressed, its lamp lights to indicate that the player connected to the VTR can be operated by remote control. The VTR’s editing and tape transport system buttons can now be used to control the player.

RECORDER:

When this button is pressed, its lamp lights to indicate that the editing and tape transport system buttons can now be used to operate the recorder (this VTR).

When the PLAYER button or RECORDER button is pressed while ENA has been selected as the setup menu No. 200 (PARA RUN) setting, the lamps of both buttons light to indicate that the VTR now serves as the master unit for parallel run operations.

(However, when this setting is used, it is no longer possible to perform external control from the 9-pin REMOTE connector.)

>Search button

When this button is pressed, the search mode is established.

When it is pressed after the search dial has been set to the shuttle mode and turned to the desired position, playback starts at the speed which was set by the search dial.

?SHTL/SLOW button

This button is used to select whether the search dial is to be used for SHTL or SLOW applications. Each time it is pressed, the search dial is set alternately to SHTL or SLOW.

@Search dial

This dial is used to locate the edit points.

Each time it is pressed, it is set alternatively to the SHTL/SLOW mode or the JOG mode, and the JOG, SHTL or SLOW lamp lights.

When the power is turned on, the search dial will not operate unless it is first returned to the STILL position.

SHTL (shuttle) mode:

When the dial is turned and set to the desired position while the SHTL lamp among the JOG, SHTL and SLOW lamps is lit, the tape can be played at the speed corresponding to the angle at which the dial has been turned. A still picture appears when the dial is set to the centre position.

SLOW mode:

When the dial is turned all the way in the counterclockwise direction while the SLOW lamp among the JOG, SHTL and SLOW lamps is lit, the tape speed is set to –4.1a. Similarly, when it is set to the centre position, it is set to still picture, and when it is turned all the way in the clockwise direction, it is set to +4.1a. The SLOW speed in each direction can be selected using setup menu No. 320 (VAR FWD MAX) and No. 321 (VAR REV MAX).

JOG mode:

In this mode, the click-stop positions of the dial are released, and the tape is played at a speed ranging from –1ato +1a in accordance with the speed at which the dial is turned.

The maximum speed can be set using setup menu No. 323 (JOG FWD MAX) and No. 324 (JOG REV MAX).

ADial ring

The dial ring lights during search mode.

The conditions under which the ring is to light can be selected using setup menu No. 117 (DIAL LAMP).

BJOG, SHTL and SLOW lamps

These lamps indicate the search dial mode.

When this button is pressed in the CTL mode, the counter display is reset to [00:00:00:00]. At the same time, any edit points that have been registered will also be cleared.

When this button is pressed while the TC PRESET S button is held down in the TC or UB mode, the time code generator is reset.
