REC 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 it is pressed during playback, the servo will be disrupted.) When the STOP button is pressed, the original pictures and sound are restored.

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).

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

STOP button

When this button is pressed, the tape stops traveling, and when TAPE has been selected for the setup menu item No.122 (STOP EE SEL) setting, the still images can be monitored.

Even in the stop mode, the drum continues to rotate, and the tape remains in close contact with the drum. When the stop mode continues beyond a specific time period, the unit is automatically set to the standby OFF mode or STEP FWD mode in order to protect the tape. (This is set using setup menu item No.400 to 403.) Immediately after a cassette has been loaded in the unit, the stop mode is established.
