Operations and functions

 

 

Jog

Press the JOG/SHUTTLE button once to

 

light “JOG,” then turn the JOG dial, or

 

simply turn the JOG dial without lighting

 

“JOG.” Playback is carried out at a speed

 

corresponding to the rotating speed of

 

the JOG dial. The playback speed range

 

is from –1 to +1 times normal speed.

 

The JOG dial has no detents.

 

 

Shuttle

Press the JOG/SHUTTLE button twice to

 

light “SHTL,” then turn the SHUTTLE

 

dial, or simply turn the SHUTTLE dial

 

without lighting “SHTL.” Playback is

 

carried out at a speed corresponding to

 

the angular position of the SHUTTLE

 

dial. The playback speed range is from

 

–21 to +21 times normal speed.

Notes

•Normally, you turn the SHUTTLE dial after setting the jog/shuttle mode by pressing the JOG/SHUTTLE button. However, you can also set the jog/shuttle mode simply by turning the dial. (This feature is available when SELECTION FOR JOG/SHUTTLE DIAL ENABLE, extended menu item 101 of the setup menu, is set to DIAL.) In this case, you must reset the SHUTTLE dial to the center position after turning it, otherwise the dial may be moved by vibration and the tape may start running in the shuttle mode during playback.

•If the unit carries out reverse playback in the shuttle mode at –0.5 times or less normal speed for 20 consecutive minutes, the reel motor heat protection circuit automatically functions and the unit enters still mode.
