Playback Features

Stop-Action Pause

During playback, you can view one frame of the tape.

Press REC/PAUSE to stop the action.

Press REC/PAUSE again to return to normal playback.

Caution: Pause is designed for momentary interruptions and should not be used for an extended period of time. If the camcorder remains in pause for more than five minutes, it will automatically remove the tape from the spinning heads to prevent excessive tape wear.

Picture Search

During playback you can visually search the tape at a higher speed in forward or reverse.

Press and hold F.FWD to search the tape forward.

Press and hold REW to search the tape in reverse.

Release the button to return to normal playback.

Tracking

When you play a tape not recorded on your camcorder, streaks may appear. To remove the streaks, press either TRACKING button to move the streaks up or down and out of the picture.

Press either TRACKING button during stop-action (play-pause) to reduce picture “jitter” (picture bouncing up or down).

TRACKING

(Also Power Zoom)

Remove the cassette to reset the camcorder’s tracking to its preset center.

The TRACKING buttons only affect tape playback. They have no effect during recording.
