MODE switch

6PLAY button

Press this button to start playback.

When this button is pressed together with the REC button, recording starts.

On the AJ-SD955A, when this button is pressed together with the EDIT button during playback, manual editing starts. However, manual editing will not be initiated if the servo is not locked. When only the PLAY button is pressed during manual editing, editing is exited, and the playback mode is established.

When the TRIM+ (or TRIM–) button is pressed while this button is held down, playback speed will be increased (or decreased) by the frame mode unit selected for the setup menu No. 108 (CAP. LOCK) setting each time one of the TRIM buttons is pressed.

<Note>

The servo lamp turns off while the speed is being increased or decreased. At this time, nise occur in the playback audio signal.

7REC button

When this button is pressed together with the PLAY button, recording starts.

When it is pressed during playback, a search, fast forwarding or rewinding, the E-E mode pictures and audio signals can be monitored while it is held down.

When it is pressed in the stop mode, the E-E mode pictures and audio signals can be monitored. When the STOP button is pressed, the original pictures and sound are restored.

8STOP button

When this button is pressed, the tape stops traveling, and if the MODE switch is set to TAPE, still pictures can be monitored. Even in the stop mode, the drum continues to rotate, and the tape remains tightly wound around the drum.

When the VTR is left in the stop mode beyond a specific period of time (which can be selected using setup menu No. 400 to 403), it is automatically set to the standby OFF mode or STEP FWD mode in order to protect the tape. The VTR is set to the stop mode immediately after the cassette has been inserted.

9FF button

When this button is pressed, the tape is fast forwarded.

The fast forwarding speed can be selected using setup menu No.102 (FF. REW MAX).

:REW button

When this button is pressed, the tape is rewound.

The rewinding speed can be selected using setup menu No.102 (FF. REW MAX).

;EDIT button SD955A

This button is pressed together with the PLAY button during playback to initiate manual editing.

When it is pressed during playback, a search, fast forwarding or rewinding, the input signals in the mode selected by the ASSEM button or INSERT button can be monitored in the E-E mode while the button is held down.

When the button is pressed in the stop mode, the input signals in the mode selected by the ASSEM button or INSERT button can be monitored in the E-E mode.

When the STOP button is pressed, the original pictures and sound are restored.

<STAND BY button SD955A

In the standby ON mode, this button’s lamp lights to indicate that the same tape tension is applied as in the regular stop mode and that the head drum is rotating.

In the standby OFF mode, the half loading mode is established by this button.

When the button is pressed in the stop mode, the standby OFF mode is established. At this time, its lamp goes off.

When the VTR is left in the stop mode beyond a specific period of time, it is automatically set to the standby OFF mode in order to protect the tape.

When this button or the STOP button is pressed in the standby OFF mode, the VTR is set to the standby ON mode.

When a button other than the STOP button is pressed, the VTR is set to the mode that corresponds to the button pressed. The time taken by the VTR to transfer to the standby OFF mode can be selected using setup menu No. 400 (STILL TIMER).
