SPECIAL EFFECTS PLAYBACK (BEST RESULTS AT SP & EP SPEED
These special effects are available during playback; during their
operation the audio is muted.
Push the desired search button (◀◀ OR
▶▶).
This function lets you quickly and visually search for a
desired tape section in either direction: forward (called CUE) and
reverse (called REVIEW).
During playback (PLAY indicator displayed), press either
search buttons (REV or CUE) once to begin visual search.
Push the PLAY (X2) button.
If the VCP is left in the CUE or REVIEW mode for more than
about 3 minutes, the VCP will automatically place itself in the PLAY
mode to protect the tape and the video heads.
Press the same button and the picture search speed will be
faster (21 times faster than the normal playback speed at EP
recorded tape, 15 times faster than the normal playback speed at LP
recorded tape, or 7 times faster than the normal playback speed at
SP recorded tape).
When the desired segment is reached, press the
PLAY (X2) button.
Normal playback will resume.
The audio is automatically muted in this mode, so there is no
sound during search.
Multi-motion playback can be activated during playback of the
tapes recorded in SP, LP, or EP speed.
Tapes recorded in LP mode can also be viewed in multi-motion
playback, but the picture may be completely snowy.
A short period is needed to stabilize the tape speed. Slight
interference may be observed during this period.
When PLAY (X2) button is pressed during playback mode, the
tape will play at twice the normal speed.
Press PLAY (X2) button again to return to the normal playback
mode.
During double speed playback, a certain amount of noise may
appear on the screen. If so, press TRACKING
(▼/▲) button to find the position at which the
least amount of noise occurs.
The double speed playback feature is intended for use with SP
or EP recordings. The LP recordings will contain too much noise
(interference) to produce a viewable picture.
Press the FF or REW button once. Fast winding begins.
Press and hold the FF or REW button again. Visual search
(Cue/Review) begins so you can check what is on the tape.
The CUE or REVIEW mode will continue until either the FF or
REW button is released.
Fast Forward or Rewinding resumes, whichever was released (FF
or REW button).
Press the STOP or PLAY (X2) button to stop the FF or REW
mode.
Push the STILL button.
This picture may be unstable or noise bars may appear.
No sound will be heard.
To continue normal playback, push the PLAY (X2) button.
If the unit is left in the STILL mode for more than about
5 minutes, the unit will automatically place itself in the
STOP mode, to protect the tape and the video heads.
If you want a tape to repeat, press A. REPEAT so that the
indicator lights.
When the tape ends, the VCP automatically rewinds and begins
playing again.
If you want to stop the auto repeat playback, press A. REPEAT
button on the front panel again.
The indicator will go off.
The auto playback system is a convenient function that works
completely automatically. If you insert any video tape without its
record protect tab in place into the unit, the unit will turn on, load
and play the tape, rewind the tape, and turn itself off.
