In shuttle mode, the SHUTTLE dial controls the playback speed based on the angular position of the dial. There are seven playback speeds:

±0.03 times, ±0.12 times, ±0.5 times, ±1 times, ±2 times, ±5 times, ±21 times.

+indicates forward direction speed, – indicates reverse direction speed.

The SHUTTLE dial has detents at the center position, move the SHUTTLE dial to the center indent to display a still picture.

Use the following procedure to carry out playback in shuttle mode.

1 Turn the SHUTTLE dial directly or press the JOG/ SHUTTLE button twice to light the SHTL indicator.

If the SHUTTLE dial points to a position other than the center, playback in shuttle mode starts at a speed corresponding to the angular position of the dial.

Pressing the JOG/SHUTTLE button toggles between jog mode and shuttle mode.

2 Turn the SHUTTLE dial to the angle corresponding to the desired playback speed.

Playback in shuttle mode starts.

3 Return the SHUTTLE dial to the center indent position or press the STOP button to cancel shuttle mode playback.

It is possible to make pressing the JOG/SHUTTLE button to switching between JOG and SHUTTLE mode.

Select “KEY” in SELECTION FOR JOG/ SHUTTLE DIAL ENABLE, extended menu item 101, to enable the above feature. (This is the default setting.)

To return to normal-speed playback

Press the PLAY button.

To alternate between normal-speed playback and shuttle mode playback

Set the SHUTTLE dial to the position corresponding to the desired shuttle playback speed first. Press the PLAY button, and then press the JOG/SHUTTLE button twice.

For intermittent shuttle mode playback, press the STOP button first and then press the JOG/ SHUTTLE button twice.

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