O Check that the SERVO lamp remains lighted during playback. The playback pictures will be disturbed if the lamp is flashing or off.

O Select the 50 Mbps mode or 25 Mbps mode— whichever corresponds to the recording mode of the tape— for the setup menu item No.007 setting. The recording mode can be identified and the playback mode can be switched automatically by selecting AUTO as the setup menu item No.008 setting. (See page 29)

However, in this case, it may take some moments for the mode to be identified.

O The pictures may be disturbed when playback starts.

Cue/review

Pressing the FF button or REW button while in the search mode (search still, forward search, reverse search, forward search still, reverse search still) causes fast forward or reverse playback to occur at the speed selected using setting No. 100 on the setup menu. (See page 30.)

Also, pressing the SEARCH button while in the fast forward or reverse rewind causes the speed to be reduced to the speed selected using setting No. 100 on the setup menu and fast forward or reverse playback to occur.

Pressing the PAUSE/STILL button during fast forward or reverse playback causes the tape to pause. Pressing the button a second time causes fast forward or reverse playback to resume.
