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.

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.

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).
