#§ Search dial

Rotate to search for edit points. Rotate the dial clockwise for forward playback (the z indicator lights up) or counterclockwise for reverse playback (the Z indicator lights up). The p indicator lights up while the VTR is in stop mode.

Press the dial to toggle the VTR between shuttle and jog modes.

Shuttle mode: The playback speed corresponds to the angle of rotation of the dial (–50 to +50 times normal speed when playing back a Digital Betacam tape, and –35 to +35 (DVW-A500/1 only) or –42 to +42 (DVW-A500P/1 only) times normal speed when playing back an analog Betacam tape). The dial clicks at the positions corresponding to 0 (still-picture), –10 and +10 times normal playback speed.

Jog mode: The playback speed, which corresponds to the rotational speed of the dial, ranges from –1 to +1 or –3 to +3 times normal playback speed (selectable in VTR SETUP menu). The dial does not click.

Variable speed playback mode: Noiseless playback at –1 times normal speed when the dial is rotated fully counterclockwise, and +3 times normal speed when rotated clockwise. The dial clicks at the positions of still-picture and normal playback speed.

Capstan override mode: Rotating the dial while holding down the PLAY button changes the playback speed by up to ±15%.

After turning the power on, always set the search dial at the center position (where the p indicator lights up).
