SpecialPlayback Functions
Note:
The difference between
Play Still and Stop is that
during Play Still, the tape
remains engaged to the play
mechanism, and you will see
a picture. If you Stop the
deck, the tape disengages
from the play mechanism.
Play Still is the same as
Record Pause (you press
PAUSE
to enter both modes).
We call it Play Still
because the picture
freezes, or becomes still,
on your TV screen.
Note:
The On Screen Display is
not available during
Special Playback Modes.
