1 Press the SEARCH button to activate the joystick. When “STICK” has been selected as the menu item No.100 SEARCH ENA setting, the joystick will be activated without pressing the SEARCH button.

2 Press the joystick to switch between the SHTL mode and SLOW mode.

3 When the joystick is inclined toward the right, the tape can be played back in the forward direction at a variable speed based on the angle that the stick is inclined. When the stick is inclined toward the left, the tape is played back in the reverse direction.

zSHTL mode:

The maximum speed which is established when the joystick has been inclined at the maximum angle corresponds to the speed which has been set by menu item No.101 SHTL MAX.

zSLOW mode:

The speed ranges from –0.9ato +1.0a.

4 When the joystick is inclined upward, the tape travels in 1-frame increments in the forward direction; when it is inclined downward, it travels in 1-frame increments in the reverse direction.

Slow playback is performed if the stick is held at the top or bottom position.

zIf the SEARCH button is pressed while the joystick is pressed to one side, the current speed is maintained even if the joystick is released. Pressing the STOP, PLAY, or other operation buttons cancels the fixed speed operation.

<Notes>

zNoise may occur in the video images and voices may be distorted when tape is replayed at a speed other than the standard speed (1a).

zThe PCM audio signal is played back in the –0.9ato +1.0a speed range, while the CUE signal is played back at all other speeds. (See menu No. 746 MONI CH SEL (page 51) and No. 765 CUE OUT SEL (page 52))

Variable Speed Playback

Variable playback speeds are possible by operating the controller if the 9P remote controller is connected to the REMOTE CONTROL connector.
