STANDBY button

Press this button in other than standby mode to make it light up and place the VTR in standby mode. The head drum rotates in standby mode, thereby shortening the time required for the tape to start. Press this button while in standby mode to turn the button off and cancel standby mode. The head drum stops rotating and the tape tension is released. If the VTR remains in standby mode for more than eight minutes (factory setting), standby mode is automatically canceled in order to safeguard the tape.

EJECT button

Press to eject the cassette. When the button is pressed, the tape is automatically unthreaded and the cassette is ejected in a few seconds. Resets the display when CTL codes appear in the menu display in the lower control panel.
